By Brian Bailey - 25 Apr, 2019 - Comments: 0

Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss the implications of having an executable specification that drives verification with Hagai Arbel, CEO for VTool; Adnan Hamid, CEO for Breker Verification; Mark Olen, product marketing manager for Mentor, a Siemens Business; Jim Hogan, managing partner of Vista Ventures; Sharon Rosenberg, senior solutions architect for Cadence Design Systems; and Tom... » read more

CDNLive 2019: The Verification Ecosystem Is Growing Stronger And Stronger
By Frank Schirrmeister - 25 Apr, 2019 - Comments: 0

Ecosystems are not only fascinating when it comes to processors like Arm, MIPS, x86, and RISC-V (as I have written before) or for semiconductor technologies like TSMC, GLOBALFOUNDRIES, and Samsung; they are key for success in verification as well. CDNLive Silicon Valley was, again, a great example of the verification ecosystem in action. It showcased the different engines verification tools run... » read more

Safety-Critical Coverage
By Ed Sperling - 24 Apr, 2019 - Comments: 0

Dave Landoll, solutions architect at OneSpin Solutions, discusses verification in safety-critical designs, why it’s more of a challenge in automotive than in avionics, and why verification of these systems includes what the system should not be doing as well as what it should be doing. https://youtu.be/Ze3WwEARfx0 » read more

The Weather Report: 2018 Study On IC/ASIC Verification Trends
By Harry Foster - 11 Apr, 2019 - Comments: 0

Nobel Laureate Bob Dylan observed, “You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.” Similarly, we can get a feeling for where our industry is going by attending to the flow of thought at conferences, on line, or in our daily business. But that gives us only a small window to observe the hurricane-like forces of the very large and complicated, extremely dynamic global semico... » read more

Accelerating Physical Verification Productivity for Advanced Node Designs with IC Validator
By Synopsys - 10 Apr, 2019 - Comments: 0

Applications such as deep-learning, autonomous driving vehicles, and mobility on 5G networks fuel the need for continuous advancements in IC integration. Growing design complexity, pressure on design cycle time, process advancements and increasing verification requirements are driving the need for faster, more efficient physical verification flows. The current state-of-the-art FinFET processes ... » read more

Safety Critical Design In Automotive
By Ed Sperling - 03 Apr, 2019 - Comments: 0

Shiv Chonnad, hardware engineer at Synopsys, examines how to design chips for safety-critical applications such as automotive and ensure they work as planned and in accordance with ISO 26262 and the various ASIL levels. This includes how to find faults at both a chip and a system level. https://youtu.be/3dL4ZuSe5Ls » read more

Digital Twins For Hardware/Software Co-Development
By Frank Schirrmeister - 28 Mar, 2019 - Comments: 0

These days it seems like we could play business bingo when watching presentations at conferences, checking off the most keywords mentioned. Hitting the terms AI, ML, IoT, 5G, and edge computing all together almost guarantees your presentation to be a hit. In recent years, the term “digital twin” has gotten a lot of attention. Recent discussions with Brian Bailey and a paper I wrote for GOMA... » read more

Digital Twins Deciphered
By Brian Bailey - 28 Mar, 2019 - Comments: 0

Ever since Siemens acquired Mentor Graphics in 2016, a new phrase has become more common in the semiconductor industry – the digital twin. Exactly what that is, and what impact it will have on the semiconductor industry, is less clear. In fact, many in the industry are scratching their heads over the term. The initial reaction is that the industry has been creating what are now termed digi... » read more

Utilizing More Data To Improve Chip Design
By Ann Mutschler - 28 Mar, 2019 - Comments: 0

Just about every step of the IC tool flow generates some amount of data. But certain steps generate a mind-boggling amount of data, not all of which is of equal value. The challenge is figuring out what's important for which parts of the design flow. That determines what to extract and loop back to engineers, and when that needs to be done in order to improve the reliability of increasingly com... » read more
