A Lam Research writer investigates the challenges that lie ahead for interconnects and whether current technologies will find new life or be replaced by new strategies. There's a greater force powering Moore's Law, says Cadence's Paul McLellan, who points to the vast amount of transistors being used for memory. Mentor's Robert Bates considers the challenges of securing in-hospital network... » read more

A Pattern Of Success: Calibre Pattern Matching
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 22 Jun, 2016 - Comments: 0

Calibre Pattern Matching allows you to define specific geometric configurations as visual patterns, directly from a design layout. With this visual representation, Calibre Pattern Matching opens up a whole new way to define design rules for both established and advanced nodes, and enables a wide range of innovative applications across design, verification, and test. This white paper introduces ... » read more

Photonics Moves Closer To Chip
By Ed Sperling - 20 Jun, 2016 - Comments: 0

Silicon photonics is resurfacing after more than a decade in the shadows, driven by demands to move larger quantities of data faster, using extremely low power and with minimal heat. Until recently, much of the attention in photonics focused on moving data between servers and storage. Now there is growing interest at the PCB level and in heterogeneous multi-chip packages. Government, academi... » read more

Tools Synopsys uncorked the latest version of its software for the design of optical communication systems and photonic integrated circuits at the signal propagation level, adding a new interface and expanding the software's application design libraries. Mentor Graphics said it would provide a variety of tools to support the new Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC devices from Xilinx, dual-core field-... » read more

The Secret to Reaching Rapid Verification Closure
By Ellie Burns - 16 Jun, 2016 - Comments: 0

Every design team is looking to reduce RTL verification time in order to meet aggressive schedules. Successful teams have moved their level of design abstraction up to the C++ or [gettech id="31018" comment="SystemC"] level and employ [getkc id="105" comment="high-level synthesis"] (HLS) within their design flow. By taking advantage of this high-level description, these teams also plug into int... » read more

Synopsys' Marc Greenberg shares a somber and personal story on the need to get ADAS to as many drivers as possible. From the Linley IoT conference, Cadence's Paul McLellan features a talk on protecting edge nodes and the three big steps towards IoT security. Mentor's Avidan Efody presents a lighthearted reminder on the basics of ISO 26262 terminology. Just how much security is enough? ... » read more

An Introduction to Reducing Dynamic Power Using PowerPro
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 14 Jun, 2016 - Comments: 0

At many companies, the job of power reduction is left to power experts. These experts have built up knowledge and methodologies over many years, which they repeatedly apply to designs in their groups. This approach is very narrow and it not scalable across multiple groups in the company. Companies have begun to realize the limitations of this approach. More and more RTL designers are being task... » read more

Plotting The Next Semiconductor Road Map
By Ed Sperling - 13 Jun, 2016 - Comments: 0

The semiconductor industry is retrenching around new technologies and markets as Moore's Law becomes harder to sustain and growth rates in smart phones continue to flatten. In the past, it was a sure bet that pushing to the next process node would provide improvements in power, performance and cost. But after 22nm, the economics change due to the need for multi-patterning and finFETs, and th... » read more
