A look at hybrid SAT solvers and why this kind of approach has become necessary as SoC designs become more complex.
This final white paper in a three-part series about formal verification concepts examines the assertion-based verification flow and some of the formal verification algorithms.
To download the first two papers in this series, click here for part one and here for part two.
This kind of approach has become necessary as SoC designs become more challenging and the traditional method of simulation proves too slow, too costly, and insufficient in terms of coverage.
Some satisfiability (SAT) tools work partly on the circuit and partly on conjunctive normal form (CNF). These are called hybrid SAT solvers. The netlist is kept along with learned clauses and conflict clauses, which are added during analysis. Click here for part 3.
30 facilities planned, including 10/7nm processes, but trade war and economic factors could slow progress.
Leaders of three R&D organizations, Imec, Leti and SRC, discuss the latest chip trends in AI, packaging and quantum computing.
Applied Materials’ VP looks at what’s next for semiconductor manufacturing and the impact of variation, new materials and different architectures.
What could make this memory type stand out from the next-gen memory crowd.
Researchers digging into ways around the von Neumann bottleneck.
Semiconductor devices face many hazards before and after manufacturing that can cause them to fail prematurely.
2019 will be a year of change for the semiconductor industry as new fields drive technological advancements.
Stacking die is garnering more attention, but design flows aren’t fully ready to support it.
What hoops will designers have to jump through to avoid concurrency bugs?
Maximum flexibility is no longer the reliable path to product success. While flexibility must be there for a purpose, it also can be a liability.
Why managing power is becoming more difficult, more critical, and much more expensive.
Accuracy is a relative term that complicates design and verification. Machine learning makes the industry face some of those realities head on.
