How AI Drives Faster Verification Coverage And Debug For First-Time-Right Silicon
By Taruna Reddy - 23 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

By Taruna Reddy and Robert Ruiz These days, the question is less about what AI can do and more about what it can’t do. From talk-of-the-town chatbots like ChatGPT to self-driving cars, AI is becoming pervasive in our everyday lives. Even industries where it was perhaps an unlikely fit, like chip design, are benefiting from greater intelligence. What if one of the most laborious, time-co... » read more

Managing EDA’s Rapid Growth Expectations
By Brian Bailey - 23 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

The EDA industry has been doing very well recently, but how long this run will continue is a matter of debate. EDA is an industry ripe for disruption due to rapid changes in chip architectures, end markets, and a long list of new technologies. In addition, recent geopolitical tensions are bringing a lot more attention to this small sector upon which the whole semiconductor industry rests. De... » read more

2023 Open Source Risk In M&A By The Numbers
By Synopsys - 22 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

Learn how an open source audit can reduce your security risk Here’s what we know: Most of today’s codebases contain open source components. Vulnerabilities and licensing issues in codebases are as pervasive as open source itself. Unpatched software vulnerabilities are one of the biggest cyberthreats organizations face. Failure to comply with open source licenses can put... » read more

Blog Review: March 22
By Jesse Allen - 22 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

Siemens EDA's Dan Yu warns that the unavailability of verification data is slowing down the development of advanced machine learning for verification, with valuable data assets either siloed among different team members or projects or simply discarded due to the lack of analytic techniques to extract value from them. Synopsys' Richard Solomon and Dana Neustadter point to the need for hardwar... » read more

Mini-Consortia Forming Around Chiplets
By Ed Sperling - 20 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

Mini-consortia for chiplets are sprouting up across the industry, driven by demands for increasing customization in tight market windows and fueled by combinations of hardened IP that have been proven in silicon. These loosely aligned partnerships are working to develop LEGO-like integration models for highly specific applications and end markets. But they all are starting small, because it'... » read more

Cooling The Data Center
By Karen Heyman - 15 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

Since British mathematician and entrepreneur Clive Humby coined the rallying cry, “Data is the new oil,” some 20 years ago, it has been an upbeat phrase at data science conferences. But in engineering circles, that increasingly includes a daily grind of hardware challenges, and chief among them is how to cool the places where all that data is processed and stored. An estimated 65 zettaby... » read more

Blog Review: March 15
By Jesse Allen - 15 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

Siemens EDA's Dan Yu finds that high-quality, well-connected mass data are crucial to the success of applying machine learning to verification and recommends teams pivot to a data-centric workflow. Synopsys' Shankar Krishnamoorthy suggests that deploying AI-driven chip design and verification can free teams from iterative work, letting them focus instead on product differentiation and PPA en... » read more

Self-Heating Issues Spread
By Brian Bailey - 13 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 1

With every new node there are additional physical effects that must be considered, but not all of them are of the same level of criticality. One that is being mentioned more frequently is self-heating. All devices consume power and when they do that, it becomes heat. "In essence, all active devices generate heat as carriers move, creating channels for current to pass through the gates," says... » read more

Week In Review: Design, Low Power
By Jesse Allen - 10 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

Arm is expected to list solely on a U.S. stock exchange when it goes public again later this year, forgoing the London Stock Exchange for now, the BBC reports. Global investment banks expect the offering to value the company between $30 billion and $70 billion, according to Bloomberg. Disaggregating chips into specialized processors, memories, and architectures is becoming necessary for cont... » read more

100G Ethernet IP For Edge Computing
By Jerry Lotto - 09 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

The presence of Ethernet in our lives has paved the way for the emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT). Ethernet has connected everything around us and beyond, from smart homes and businesses, to industries, schools, and governments. This specification is even found in our vehicles, facilitating communication between internal devices. Ethernet has enabled high-performance computing data cent... » read more
