Realize A More Productive EDA Environment From HPE With AMD
By Ansys - 13 Jan, 2021 - Comments: 0

Few industries are more competitive than modern electronics manufacturing and chip design. Consumers expect devices to be faster, cheaper, and more reliable with each generation. Whether large or small, electronics manufacturers rely on electronic design automation (EDA) to enable these improvements. Click here to access the white paper. » read more

Machine Learning — Everywhere: Enabling Self-Optimizing Design Platforms for Better End-to-End Results
By Synopsys - 13 Jan, 2021 - Comments: 0

Machine-learning offers opportunities to enable self-optimizing design tools. Very much like self-driving cars that observe real-world interactions to improve their responses in different (local) driving conditions, AI-enhanced tools are able to learn and improve in (local) design environments after deployment. These new, ML-driven capabilities can be embedded in different design engines, gi... » read more

EDA, IP Revenue Up 15%
By Ed Sperling - 11 Jan, 2021 - Comments: 2

EDA and IP revenues blasted off in Q3 of 2020 in every geography and every sector, despite a trade war, a pandemic, and slowdowns in the automotive and avionics sectors. Revenue grew to $2.95 billion, up 15% over the $2.57 billion in the same period in 2019, according to a just-released report from the Electronic System Design Alliance Market Statistic Services (MSS). The four-quarter moving... » read more

CEO Outlook: 2021
By Ed Sperling - 04 Jan, 2021 - Comments: 0

The new year will be one of significant transition and innovation for the chip industry, but there are so many new applications and market segments that broad generalizations are becoming less meaningful. Unlike in years past, where sales of computers or smart phones were a good indication of how the chip industry would fare, end markets have both multiplied and splintered, greatly increasin... » read more

Industry Transformations In 2021 And Beyond
By Frank Schirrmeister - 22 Dec, 2020 - Comments: 0

Last December, the name of my predictions blog summarized my view crisply, which is that "applications, ecosystems and system complexity will be key verification drivers for 2020." Slam dunk on these. Application domains significantly impacted verification aspects in 2020. Who would have thought that Facebook and AWS would be among the keynotes at our user conference, speaking about how thei... » read more

Stretching Engineers
By Brian Bailey - 22 Dec, 2020 - Comments: 1

Engineering has one constant — you innovate or fall by the wayside. That is true both for the things that are designed and for the engineers who design and build them. Today’s systems are putting new strains on engineers who can no longer be "tall and thin" or "short and fat." Those descriptions pertain to an engineer who is either highly specialized or one who has much broader experience. ... » read more

Silo Busting In The Design Flow
By Brian Bailey - 24 Nov, 2020 - Comments: 0

An increasing number of dependencies in system design are forcing companies, people, tools, and flows to become more collaborative. Design and EDA companies must adapt to this new reality because it has become impossible for anyone to do it all by themselves. Moreover, what happens in manufacturing and packaging needs to be considered up front, and what gets designed in the design phase may ... » read more

The Next Big Leap: Energy Optimization
By Brian Bailey - 16 Nov, 2020 - Comments: 1

The relationship between power and energy is technically simple, but its implication on the EDA flow is enormous. There are no tools or flows today that allow you to analyze, implement, and optimize a design for energy consumption, and getting to that point will require a paradigm shift within the semiconductor industry. The industry talks a lot about power, and power may have become a more ... » read more

Chinese EDA
By Brian Bailey - 29 Oct, 2020 - Comments: 0

If you saw this headline and thought you missed a press release, don't panic. China has not, at this point, announced to the world that it has a suite of EDA tools ready to roll. The rest of the world is content to look at the substandard attempts it have made so far and write them off as not being capable of developing competitive EDA software. But in all likelihood, given the current politica... » read more
