Simulating The Hyperloop
By Susan Coleman - 10 Dec, 2020 - Comments: 0

When SpaceX held the first Hyperloop Design Weekend Competition in Texas in January 2016, a team of five students from the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) in Spain, calling themselves Hyperloop UPV, won awards for Best Overall Concept Design and Best Propulsion System. The overall concept was to use magnetic levitation to give their Hyperloop vehicle a frictionless ride through t... » read more

HPC Appliance Boosts Simulation Performance
By Ansys - 09 Dec, 2020 - Comments: 0

High-performance computing (HPC) resources can provide a substantial boost to simulation, but an HPC cluster can be complex and difficult to manage. By deploying a managed HPC cluster for ARA, the client was able to eliminate internal maintenance and support overhead, while improving productivity and reliability for their Ansys workloads.

System Simulation For RF Link Budget Analysis
By Cadence - 02 Dec, 2020 - Comments: 0

This white paper examines how a more rigorous link budget analysis of an entire system can be determined through simulation, and how performing link budget analysis enables designers to address losses, gains, and power levels to meet the operational requirements of the radio communications system.

Virtual Prototyping For Power Electronics Systems
By Alan Courtay - 24 Nov, 2020 - Comments: 0

By Alan Courtay and Gobi Kengara Palayam Appavoo Every day, power electronics systems play a bigger role in our lives. All-electric and hybrid vehicles are now common on our streets. Electrification of the aerospace industry is accelerating, and observers expect hybrid and electric aircraft to make an impact over the next decade or two. Many industrial systems rely increasingly on electronic... » read more

A Better Path From Simulink To RTL With Catapult HLS
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 23 Nov, 2020 - Comments: 0

Design teams working on ASIC or FPGA projects often start with algorithm exploration using MATLAB in order to prove out the mathematical behavior of the functional blocks at a high level of abstraction. MATLAB as a high-level programming language doesn’t support hardware architecture modeling, so many teams use the Simulink environment for performing model-based, multi-domain simulation of th... » read more

RISC-V Custom Instruction Flow Application Note
By Imperas - 23 Nov, 2020 - Comments: 0

A RISC-V processor has several defined decode spaces, for example custom0, custom1 etc. into which new custom instructions can be added. OVP Fast processor models can be extended without modification to the pre-compiled and verified base processor model source code using one or more extension libraries. An extension library can be loaded as part of a virtual platform definition in addition to t... » read more

Design For Manufacturing Best Practices
By Josh Akman - 12 Nov, 2020 - Comments: 0

Manufacturing issues are one of the top reasons that we see warranty returns and loss of market share in the electronics industry. Issues like supply chain failures and printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) production challenges related to design can lead to irreparable damage to a brand’s reputation. It is therefore critical that companies have a design for manufacturability (DfM) protocol i... » read more

Does HW Vs. SW Choice Affect Quality And Reliability?
By Bryon Moyer - 10 Nov, 2020 - Comments: 0

Electronic systems comprise both hardware and software. Which functions are implemented with hardware and which with software are decisions made based upon a wide variety of considerations, including concerns about quality and reliability. Hardware may intrinsically provide for higher device quality, but it is also the source of reliability concerns. This is in contrast with popular views of... » read more

Using Verification Data More Effectively
By Ann Mutschler - 29 Oct, 2020 - Comments: 0

Verification is producing so much data from complex designs that engineering teams need to decide what to keep, how long to keep it, and what they can learn from that data for future projects. Files range from hundreds of megabytes to hundreds of gigabytes, depending on the type of verification task, but the real value may not be obvious unless AI/machine learning algorithms are applied to a... » read more

Is Hardware-Assisted Verification Avoidable?
By Brian Bailey - 29 Oct, 2020 - Comments: 1

Emulation is emerging as the tool of choice for complex and large designs, but companies that swap from simulation to emulation increasingly recognize this is not an easy transition. It requires money, time, and effort, and even then not everyone gets it right. Still, there are significant benefits to moving from simulation to emulation, providing these systems can be utilized efficiently en... » read more
