Accelerating IP Reuse
By Ed Sperling - 23 Jul, 2025 - Comments: 0

Semiconductors are no longer monolithic designs developed by a single company. There is more third-party IP from different sources — as many as 1,000 different IPs in a complex SoC — and all of that needs to be integrated and work as one system, something that can require a lot of effort and time. Insaf Meliane, product management and marketing director at Arteris, talks about how the new v... » read more

Designing The AI Factories: Unlocking Innovation With Intelligent IP
By Reela Samuel - 17 Jul, 2025 - Comments: 0

The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the technological landscape, driving unprecedented demands on computing infrastructure. At the heart of this transformation lie innovations in intellectual property (IP) that enable scalable, efficient, and performance-driven AI factories. These advancements are central to addressing the technical challenges of modern AI workloads... » read more

Silicon IP Revenue Spikes
By Ed Sperling - 15 Jul, 2025 - Comments: 0

EDA and silicon IP revenue grew 12.8% in Q1 2025, totaling $5.098 billion compared to $4.522 billion in the same period last year, but the real story was on the IP side, surging 29.6% year-over-year to $1.577 billion. Drilling deeper into those numbers, revenue for non-reporting IP companies — predominantly Arm — jumped 34.1% YoY to $1.031 billion. That was positive news for the IP marke... » read more

The Coming NPU Population Collapse
By Steve Roddy - 12 Jun, 2025 - Comments: 0

At some point in everyone’s teenage years of schooling we were all taught in a nature or biology class about cycles of population surges and then inevitable population collapses. Whether the example was an animal, plant, insect or even bacteria, some external event triggers a rapid surge in the population of a species which leads to overpopulation and competition for resources (food, space, s... » read more

Trapped By Legacy
By Steve Roddy - 15 May, 2025 - Comments: 0

At Quadric, we do a lot of first-time introductory visits with prospective new customers. As a rapidly expanding processor IP licensing company that is starting to get noticed (even winning IP Product of the Year!) such meetings are part of the territory. Which means we hear a lot of similar-sounding questions from appropriately skeptical listeners who hear our story for the very first time. Th... » read more

Leveraging Foundation IP For Low-Power AI Processor Development
By Shruti Bagaria - 15 Apr, 2025 - Comments: 0

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become widespread in recent years, quickly establishing itself as a groundbreaking technology. AI operates on machine learning (ML) algorithms, which demand substantial computational power. Traditionally, designers have utilized graphics processing units (GPUs) to run these ML algorithms. Initially created for graphics rendering, GPUs have shown to be highly eff... » read more

3D-IC Ecosystem Starts To Take Form
By Brian Bailey - 10 Apr, 2025 - Comments: 0

The adoption of chiplets is inevitable, but exactly when a mass migration toward this design approach will begin is yet to be determined. Nevertheless, some of the biggest technological and business-related barriers are being addressed. And while a chiplet-based design remains beyond the economic reach of many companies today, that is starting to change. Early signs of an emerging ecosystem ... » read more

EDA Revenue Hit Record High In Q3
By Ed Sperling - 14 Jan, 2025 - Comments: 0

EDA and IP revenue increased 8.8% in Q3 2024, dragged down from the double-digit growth of recent quarters by a softening in sales to China, according to the most recent report by SEMI. For more than a decade, China's growth propped up the entire tools industry, reporting consistent double-digit growth growth that reached as high as 40% quarter over quarter. But with ongoing trade restrictio... » read more

Aging, Complexity, And AI In Analog Design
By Ed Sperling - 27 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 0

Experts at the Table: Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss abstraction in analog vs. digital, how analog circuits age, the growing role of AI, and why there is so much margin in analog designs, with Mo Faisal, president and CEO of Movellus; Hany Elhak, executive director of product management at Synopsys; Cedric Pujol, product manager at Keysight; and Pradeep Thiagarajan, principal pro... » read more
