Each day of the Design Automation Conference (DAC) starts with a keynote. What was particularly noteworthy this year was that they all focused on some aspect of the [getkc id="76" comment="Internet of Things"] (IoT), and the value of hardware within the IoT. Semiconductor Engineering attended all of the keynotes. What follows are highlights of those talks, along with some analysis. (The four... » read more

1D-3D CFD And 3D-1D CFD: Simulation Based Characterization
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 26 Jul, 2017 - Comments: 0

To understand 1D-3D CFD and 3D-1D CFD, we have reviewed the history of attempts at both loose and close coupling of 1D and 3D CFD codes, the motivations of engineers who did it, and the benefits to be gained from these complementary engineering simulation technologies. Not least, because the umbrella term ‘1D/3D’ covers a number of different possible implementations with their own pros and ... » read more

Dealing With System-Level Power
By Ann Mutschler - 17 Jul, 2017 - Comments: 1

Analyzing and managing power at the system level is becoming more difficult and more important—and slow to catch on. There are several reasons for this. First, design automation tools have lagged behind an understanding of what needs to be done. Second, modeling languages and standards are still in flux, and what exists today is considered inadequate. And third, while system-level power ha... » read more
