Manufacturing Speed And Agility Enabled By Turnkey HPC Solutions
By Ansys - 11 Mar, 2020 - Comments: 0

Manufacturers face growing competition as new players enter the global market all the time. To stay ahead of rivals, they increasingly rely on digital modeling and simulation tools for product design, analysis and testing with the help of HPC and CAE. So how is HPC enabling innovation for manufacturers from small to large? This white paper covers: Using HPC to accelerate product develo... » read more

Test Is Becoming A Horizontal Process
By Ed Sperling - 10 Mar, 2020 - Comments: 3

Semiconductor test, once a discrete part of a well-orchestrated series of manufacturing steps, is looking more like a process that extends from the early concept stage in design to the end of life of whatever system that chip ultimately is used for. This has important ramifications for safety-critical markets in general, and the semiconductor industry in particular. Both worlds have been inc... » read more

Speeding Up FPGA Development
By Ed Sperling - 28 Feb, 2020 - Comments: 0

Salaheddin Hetalani, field application engineer at OneSpin Solutions, talks about why it’s getting harder to design and debug FPGAs, how much design time can be saved through formal techniques, and why just relying on programmability isn’t the most efficient approach. » read more

Simulation: Go Parallel Or Go Home
By Taruna Reddy - 27 Feb, 2020 - Comments: 0

Although complemented by other valuable technologies, functional simulation remains at the heart of semiconductor verification. Every chip project still develops a testbench, usually compliant with the Universal Verification Methodology (UVM), and a large test suite. Constrained-random stimulus generation has largely replaced hand-crafted tests, but at the expense of much more simulation time. ... » read more

Hybrid Prototyping
By Ed Sperling - 26 Feb, 2020 - Comments: 1

David Svensson, applications engineer in Synopsys’ Verification Group, explains how a virtual transaction logic model can be connected to develop hardware-dependent drivers before RTL actually exists, why this is now critical for large, complex designs, and how to find the potential bottlenecks and debug both software and hardware. » read more

Wrestling With Variation In Advanced Node Designs
By Ann Mutschler - 19 Feb, 2020 - Comments: 5

Variation is becoming a major headache at advanced nodes, and issues that used to be dealt with in the fab now must be dealt with on the design side, as well. What is fundamentally changing is that margin, which has long been used as a buffer for variation and other manufacturing process-related problems, no longer works in these leading-edge designs for a couple of reasons. First, margin im... » read more

The Four Benefits of Simulation-Driven Design
By Ansys - 12 Feb, 2020 - Comments: 0

Simulation-driven design involves using simulation early, often, and throughout the design cycle to make better informed decisions, explore more alternatives and verify performance. This report presents the business benefits of taking a simulation-driven design approach, enabled by engineers, across the design cycle. It focuses on the four core sources of value for simulation-driven design: inc... » read more

Ensuring Coverage In Large SoCs
By Ed Sperling - 04 Feb, 2020 - Comments: 0

Sven Beyer, product manager for design verification at OneSpin Solutions, talks about why formal technology is required to ensure coverage in some of the newest chips, how it deals with potential interactions and different use cases, and why it is gaining traction in automotive applications. » read more

Design For Airborne Electronics
By Ann Mutschler - 03 Feb, 2020 - Comments: 0

The Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen), an FAA-led modernization of America's air transportation system meant to make flying more efficient, predictable and safer, is currently underway as one of the most ambitious infrastructure projects in U.S. history. This is not just a minor upgrade to an aging infrastructure. The FAA and partners are in the process of implementing new ... » read more

Big Design, IP and End Market Shifts In 2020
By Brian Bailey - 30 Jan, 2020 - Comments: 0

EDA is on a roll. Design starts are up significantly thanks to increased investment in areas such as AI, a plethora of new communications standards, buildout of the Cloud, the race toward autonomous driving and continued advancements in mobile phones. Many designs demand the latest technologies and push the limits of complexity. Low power is becoming more than just reducing wasted power at t... » read more
