System State Challenges Widen
By Brian Bailey - 30 Nov, 2023 - Comments: 0

Knowing the state of a system is essential for many analysis and debug tasks, but it's becoming more difficult in heterogeneous systems that are crammed with an increasing array of features. There is a limit as to how many things engineers can keep track of, and the complexity of today's systems extends far beyond that. Hierarchy and abstraction are used to help focus on the important aspect... » read more

EDA Pushes Deeper Into AI
By Karen Heyman - 30 Nov, 2023 - Comments: 0

EDA vendors are ramping up the use of AI/ML in their tools to help chipmakers and systems companies differentiate their products. In some cases, that means using AI to design AI chips, where the number and breadth of features and potential problems is exploding. What remains to be seen is how well these AI-designed chips behave over time, and where exactly AI benefits design teams. And all o... » read more

Nascent Chiplet Tech Gaining Attention In Defense and Commercial Industries
By Ben Miller - 30 Nov, 2023 - Comments: 0

The economic benefits derived from Moore's Law have changed, and not for the better. This shift – especially on the manufacturing side of system-on-chip (SoC) devices, has both the defense and commercial customers in the semiconductor industry wondering what will come next. One way to extend Moore's Law's cost, feature, and size benefits is with multi-chip technology, now commonly known as... » read more

Blog Review: November 29
By Jesse Allen - 29 Nov, 2023 - Comments: 0

Siemens' Matt Walsh checks out electro-thermal design and how a Boundary Condition Independent Reduced Order Model (BCI-ROM) can capture accurate characteristics from a 3D thermal analysis, ready for use in a 1D circuit simulation. Cadence's Vinod Khera considers how EDA could benefit from the AI revolution by providing a productivity boost through virtual assistants and improving code quali... » read more

Autonomous Vehicles: Not Ready Yet
By John Koon - 27 Nov, 2023 - Comments: 0

The swirl of activity around L4 and L5 vehicles has yet to result in a successful demonstration of an autonomous vehicle that can navigate the streets of a city or highway without incident, and there is a growing body of real-world data showing that much work still needs to be done. Robo-taxi trials in big cities such as San Francisco, Los Angeles, and soon San Diego, are proving that autono... » read more

Chip Industry Week In Review
By The SE Staff - 22 Nov, 2023 - Comments: 0

By Jesse Allen, Susan Rambo, and Liz Allan The U.S. government will invest about $3 billion for the National Advanced Packaging Manufacturing Program (NAPMP), including an advanced packaging piloting facility to help U.S. manufacturers adopt new technology and workforce training programs. It also will provide funding for projects concentrating on materials and substrates; equipment, tools, ... » read more

Chip Industry Week In Review
By The SE Staff - 17 Nov, 2023 - Comments: 0

By Jesse Allen, Karen Heyman, and Liz Allan Japan's Rapidus and the University of Tokyo are teaming up with France's Leti to meet its previously announced mass production goal of 2nm chips by 2027, and chips in the 1nm range in the 2030s. Rapidus was formed in 2022 with the support of eight Japanese companies — Sony, Kioxia, Denso, NEC, NTT, SoftBank, Toyota, and Mitsubishi's banking arm, ... » read more

Blog Review: November 15
By Jesse Allen - 15 Nov, 2023 - Comments: 0

Cadence's Neelabh Singh explores the process of lane initialization and link training in bringing up a high-speed link in USB4. Synopsys' Shela Aboud argues that TCAD should be an integral part of an EDA flow as it enhances design technology co-optimization with a way to experiment and determine what works and what doesn’t work at different process nodes using physics-based models. Siem... » 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
