Questa suite of VIP adds PC and enterprise protocol as players prep designs for 2023 release.

Computational storage devices are posing a new raft of challenges that is being addressed using a powerful pre-silicon methodology.

Mentor's latest additions to Tessent aim to cut test time by a factor of four but remains tailored for increasing design complexity.

Graphics and AI specialist nVidia has been confirmed as the buyer of Arm from Softbank Vision Fund in a transaction worth up to $40bn, with the fund retaining a 10 per cent share in Arm if the deal completes.

Arm has put together a program based on its existing Flexible Access model that is intended to provide early-state startups with a broader list of cores they can prototype before needing to take out a full licence.

High-level synthesis is playing another important role in the matching of AI algorithms to necessarily application-specific designs.

Six papers, a dedicated automotive sessions and demos including the use of the Nucleus for RISC-V are among highlights in Mentor's Embedded World agenda.

Mythic will use the Mentor tools for its analog-targeted intelligence processing units.

Arm has launched a pair of cores intended to bring acceleration for machine learning to its Cortex-M series of processors.

Tessent test suite targets automotive, AI and IoT projects that need embedded non-volatile memory.
