Optimizing Interconnect Topologies For Automotive ADAS Applications
By Ashley Stevens - 25 Jul, 2024 - Comments: 0

Designing automotive Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) applications can be incredibly complex. State-of-the-art ADAS and autonomous driving systems use ‘sensor fusion’ to combine inputs from multiple sources, typically cameras and optionally radar and lidar units to go beyond passive and active safety to automate driving. Vision processing systems combine specialized AI accelerators... » read more

Holistic Verification and Validation of Automotive IP for Functional Safety SoCs
By Synopsys - 03 Jul, 2024 - Comments: 0

Automotive functional safety systems have strict requirements to help avoid damages to life and property in case of a failure. As technology becomes more complex, there are increasing safety-related risks from systematic failures and random hardware failures that must be considered during product development. Standards like ISO 26262 provide guidance to mitigate such safety-related risks, by de... » read more

The Uncertainty Of Certifying AI For Automotive
By Ann Mutschler - 06 Jun, 2024 - Comments: 1

Nearly every new vehicle sold uses AI to make some decisions, but so far there is no consistency in what is being developed, where it is being used, and whether it is compatible with other vehicles on the road. This fragmentation is partially due to the fact that AI is still a nascent technology, and cars and trucks sold today may be significantly different than those that will be sold sever... » read more

Verification In Crisis
By Ashish Darbari - 25 Apr, 2024 - Comments: 0

Why is it still so hard to ensure good quality sign-off happens without leaving behind bugs in silicon? The answer, according to my colleagues at DVCon, is highly nuanced. The industry has been improving overall, as has the complexity of designs. For ASICs, 74% of the designs surveyed in the recent Wilson Research Group/Siemens EDA report have one or more processor cores, 52% have two or mor... » read more

Interoperability And Automation Yield A Scalable And Efficient Safety Workflow
By Ann Keffer - 07 Mar, 2024 - Comments: 0

By Ann Keffer, Arun Gogineni, and James Kim Cars deploying ADAS and AV features rely on complex digital and analog systems to perform critical real-time applications. The large number of faults that need to be tested in these modern automotive designs make performing safety verification using a single technology impractical. Yet, developing an optimized safety methodology with specific f... » read more

Formal Verification’s Usefulness Widens
By Ann Mutschler - 31 Jan, 2024 - Comments: 0

Formal verification is being deployed more often and in more places in chip designs as the number of possible interactions grows, and as those chips are used in more critical applications. In the past, much of formal verification was focused on whether a chip would function properly. But as designs become more complex and heterogeneous, and as use cases change, formal verification is being u... » read more

An Entangled Heterarchy
By Brian Bailey - 09 Nov, 2023 - Comments: 1

For decades, a form of structural hierarchy has been the principal means of handling complexity in chip design. It's not always perfect, and there is no ideal way in which to divide and conquer because that would need to focus on the analysis being performed. In fact, most systems can be viewed from a variety of different hierarchies, equally correct, and together forming a heterarchy. The e... » read more
