RISC-V Disrupting EDA
By Brian Bailey - 23 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 3

The electronic design automation (EDA) industry started in the 1980s and primarily was driven by the test and PCB industries. The test industry was focused on simulation so that test vector sets could be developed and optimized. The PCB industry needed help managing complexity as system sizes grew. That complexity soon was eclipsed by IC complexity and the costs associated with making a mist... » read more

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

System-on-Chip Design In The Cloud: One Size Does Not Fit All
By Nebabie Kebebew - 23 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

At an increasing pace, companies in the semiconductor ecosystem have started seriously considering the cloud for computing and storage. Some have migrated, and others are evaluating the cloud technology choices and are sizing the business impact and benefits to make the leap. Through key adoption reports, the cloud environment is proving to be beneficial for System-on-Chip (SoC) designers by pr... » read more

Agile HW Design: Fully Automatic Equivalence Checking Workflow
By Technical Paper Link - 03 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

A new technical paper titled "An Equivalence Checking Framework for Agile Hardware Design" was published by researchers at Portland State University and Intel. Abstract "Agile hardware design enables designers to produce new design iterations efficiently. Equivalence checking is critical in ensuring that a new design iteration conforms to its specification. In this paper, we introduce an eq... » read more

Leveraging Chip Data To Improve Productivity
By Ann Mutschler - 23 Feb, 2023 - Comments: 1

The semiconductor ecosystem is scrambling to use data more effectively in order to increase the productivity of design teams, improve yield in the fab, and ultimately increase reliability of systems in the field. Data collection, analysis, and utilization is at the center of all these efforts and more. Data can be collected at every point in the design-through-manufacturing flow and into the f... » read more

Efficient Verification Of RISC-V Processors
By Codasip - 22 Feb, 2023 - Comments: 0

For some time, application-specific instruction processors (ASIPs) have been developed for specialized applications. These have required multi-disciplinary teams with sufficient expertise to develop the instruction set, microarchitecture, and software toolchain. Few companies have had the right combination of skills to develop ASIPs so relatively few have been developed. With the advent of R... » read more
