Slow Start To Software-As-A-Service
By Pallab Chatterjee - 17 Dec, 2009 - Comments: 0

By Pallab Chatterjee Can software as a service (SaaS) really work in the SoC design tools world? While many of the large EDA vendors continue to experiment with it, the future of this model isn’t especially promising. This is contrary to the overall trend among big software makers, which even in the large enterprise applications space are finding success with SaaS and the related cl... » read more

Estimates, Spreadsheets And Abstract Models
By Jon McDonald - 17 Dec, 2009 - Comments: 0

By Jon McDonald Lies, damn lies and statistics. Occasionally I get the impression that some engineers feel we’ve just taken that step beyond statistics in our ESL modeling. In a recent discussion I was very pointedly reminded of the subjective nature of abstract design and analysis. Like most predictions, you don’t really know what’s going to happen until it actually comes to pass. Us... » read more

Making DFM Work Better
By Ann Mutschler - 17 Dec, 2009 - Comments: 0

By Ann Steffora Mutschler At 65nm, design for manufacturing optimization and analysis has mostly been an afterthought. At 40nm and beyond, DFM has been pushed well up into the design phase. There are good reasons for this shift. What emerged at the 65nm node were signoff tools that understand manufacturing used in semiconductor design, said Manoj Chako, a product director for digital si... » read more

5 Reasons For Change
By Ed Sperling - 04 Dec, 2009 - Comments: 0

One of the most intriguing trends to watch these days is in the area of diversification and differentiation. As we emerge from the worst downturn in the history of semiconductor design—in fact, the only time EDA has ever shown negative numbers other than accounting changes—companies are looking for new avenues of revenue growth that are significantly different than where they drew their r... » read more

More Choices But Less Design Freedom
By Ed Sperling - 19 Nov, 2009 - Comments: 0

By Ed Sperling “What if” is an indelible part of the lexicon of every SoC architect and design engineer from the front end of the design flow all the way to manufacturing, but while the terminology will persist for years to come the answers and the value of those answers are starting to change. Complexity, cost and the need for better integration have simultaneously increased the numb... » read more

An ESL Measurement Epiphany
By Jon McDonald - 19 Nov, 2009 - Comments: 0

By Jon McDonald Sometimes something becomes so simple and clear it’s shocking. I recently experienced such an epiphany. It started with a typical discussion on hardware software relationships and tradeoffs. How do you know what should be done in which? Realistically there is no automatic method to determine the proper partition. The best we can do is to propose a potential solution, the... » read more
