How To Make Autonomous Vehicles Reliable
By Ann Mutschler - 11 Sep, 2017 - Comments: 1

The number of unknowns in automotive chips, subsystems and entire vehicles is growing as higher levels of driver assistance are deployed, sparking new concerns and approaches about how to improve reliability of these systems. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) will need to detect objects, animals and people, and they will be used for parking assistance, night vision and collision avoi... » read more

Are You Designing The Right Product?
By Malte Doerper - 28 Aug, 2017 - Comments: 0

Development and production of SoCs is becoming more and more complex and expensive. And rightfully so, the semiconductor industry spends billions of dollars on verification efforts. Verification is about checking the design behaves per its specification, a process that is very important and well understood. Still, something can go terribly wrong because having a verified SoC does not guarant... » read more

Portable Stimulus Status Report
By Brian Bailey - 24 Aug, 2017 - Comments: 0

The first release of the Portable Stimulus (PS) standard is slated for early next year. If it lives up to its promise, it could be the first new language and abstraction for verification in two decades. [getentity id="22028" e_name="Accellera"] uncorked the PS Early Adopter release at the Design Automation Conference (DAC) in June. The standard has been more than two years in the making by t... » read more

Aart de Geus, chairman and co-CEO of [getentity id="22035" e_name="Synopsys"], sat down with Semiconductor Engineering to discuss machine learning and big data, the race toward autonomous vehicles, systems vs. chips, software vs. hardware, and the future of EDA. What follows are excerpts of that conversation. SE: The whole tech world is buzzing over data and how it gets used in areas such as... » read more

When Is Verification Complete?
By Ann Mutschler - 24 Aug, 2017 - Comments: 0

Deciding when verification is done is becoming a much more difficult decision, prompting verification teams to increasingly rely on metrics rather than just the tests listed in the verification plan. This trend has been underway for the past couple of process nodes, but it takes time to spot trends and determine whether they are real or just aberrations. The Wilson Research Group conducts a ... » read more

Frontloading CFD-Required Technologies
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 23 Aug, 2017 - Comments: 0

Today, manufacturing product design cycles need to get shorter and shorter as either new or increased numbers of products get to the market faster. In the automotive industry for example, with either facelifts to existing car models, or the next generation of the model appearing almost every 3-4 years, and an increasing number of new models appearing on the market, the demand on engineering des... » read more

Addressing The Complex Challenges In Low-Power Design And Verification
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 09 Aug, 2017 - Comments: 0

This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of various complex debug problems faced in low-power design and verification. By using relevant examples it demonstrates how these issues can be either avoided or easily solved. We will also highlight some of the common pitfalls that low-power designers can avoid, which otherwise can lead to complex low-power issues that are difficult to debug at lat... » read more

Design Challenges Of Next-Generation AESA Radar
By NI - 07 Aug, 2017 - Comments: 0

Phased-array antennas, first used in military radar systems, are gaining in popularity for a variety of applications with new active electronically-scanned arrays (AESAs) being used for radar systems in satellites and unmanned aerial vehicles. As these systems are deployed, meeting size and performance requirements are critical. To support AESA radar development efforts, electronic design autom... » read more

Finally, A Painless Solution For Analog Verification Management
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 03 Aug, 2017 - Comments: 0

Usually, teams manage analog simulations manually or they use complex and expensive tools that require intricate setup and proprietary test plans before they can be deployed. What teams need is an easy way to manage analog verification in order to track the large number of simulations for each project. Tracking simulation results at all levels for each team member and project managers requires ... » read more
