Estimating Power And Performing Optimization
By Guillaume Boillet - 13 Jul, 2017 - Comments: 0

Power analysis and optimization have gained importance over the last few years. During this time it has become obvious how critical it is to use realistic payloads to accurately estimate power and perform optimization tasks. Designers have a range of different objectives and concerns when it comes to power. On one side, a team wants to ensure that the average power of their chip is low enough t... » read more

‘The cloud’ has been an industry buzz word for some time now, and while the initial focus was on data storage and sharing - and spawned the likes of Dropbox – ‘cloud computing’ is currently the latest trend. For instance, Amazon’s cloud platform, Amazon Web Services (AWS), gives users access to servers and a range of applications. Storage is available as before but so too now are... » read more

DAC 2017: A Glimpse Of How The Future Is Enabled
By Frank Schirrmeister - 29 Jun, 2017 - Comments: 0

Last week’s Design Automation Conference in Austin gave great examples on how the future is enabled with next generation tools today. My favorite portions were Uhnder’s overview on “Agile Emulation” in the cloud, SirusXM’s presentation on how they used our portfolio of emulation and FPGA-based prototyping, the panel on “Smarter Verification” that I had organized and – of course ... » read more

Verification In The Cloud
By Ed Sperling - 29 Jun, 2017 - Comments: 0

By Ed Sperling Leasing of cloud-based verification resources on an as-needed basis is finally beginning to gain traction after more than a decade of false starts and over-optimistic expectations. All of the major EDA vendors now offer cloud-based services. They view this as a way of either supplementing a chipmaker's existing resources at various peak use times, or for small and midsize com... » read more

By Jesse Allen - 02 Jun, 2017 - Comments: 0

Tools OneSpin revealed new formal applications focused on random fault verification for safety critical analysis in automotive and other mission-critical applications. The Fault Injection App provides controlled injection of faults and assertion mapping to associated fault scenarios, as well as visibility into corrupted design behavior. The Fault Detection App allows the detection of dangerous... » read more

Emulation Enabling Automotive Designs
By Frank Schirrmeister - 25 May, 2017 - Comments: 0

Last week at CDNLive in Munich, the key topic at hand was automotive. It was pretty much a theme everywhere, and even had its specific personal track. My personal favorites were Davide Santo’s (NXP’s Architect) keynote on autonomous driving—very inspiring—and Robert Bosch’s overview of how they used emulation in a hybrid setup with ARM Fast Models for IP verification for automotive de... » read more
