The Limits Of AI’s Role In EDA Tools
By Brian Bailey - 25 Sep, 2025 - Comments: 0

The world has been inspired by generative AI models like ChatGPT. These are very applicable to things like copilots and agentic AI, but the adoption of these models into EDA tools is less obvious. What may be appropriate, and can AI make EDA tools faster or better? EDA has been enabling Moore's Law for the past 40 years, and that has required pushing the limits of many of the algorithms and ... » read more

Re-Architecting AI For Power
By Brian Bailey - 14 Aug, 2025 - Comments: 0

The industry is becoming increasingly concerned about the amount of power being consumed by AI, but there is no simple solution to the problem. It requires a deep understanding of the application, the software and hardware architectures at both the semiconductor and system levels, and how all of this is designed and implemented. Each piece plays a role in the total power consumed and the utilit... » read more

Reliable Training Data Paramount To AI Model Success
By Ann Mutschler - 14 Aug, 2025 - Comments: 0

AI systems are increasingly being integrated into safety- and mission-critical applications ranging from automotive to health care and industrial IoT, stepping up the need for training data that is reliable, secure, and which is generated from trusted sources. AI activity is growing exponentially, as everybody tries to figure out how to apply it to their domain, application, or workload. In ... » read more

Agentic AI: Lots Of Little Black Boxes
By Ed Sperling - 07 Aug, 2025 - Comments: 0

AI is changing so quickly that it's not always clear how much of a security threat it poses for semiconductor design, and that uncertainty increases as AI agents are introduced into the mix. So far, the use of AI in chip design has been highly targeted. Most of what is included in design tools is some version of machine learning, bounded by tight control loops. EDA and IP vendors, large chip... » read more
