Cadence Design Systems

Analyst Rich Valera points to China as a major source of EDA tool growth despite short-term tensions with the US government.

Cadence has developed a version of its Protium prototyping engine that supports larger designs and which is intended to go into data-center racks.

Cadence and OneSpin are applying various forms of machine learning to their tools to automate formal verification.

Cadence has launched a web-based EDA service the company hopes will ease the transition from self-hosted computing to more flexible cloud-based development.

Early access to tools for new processes is helping Moortec deliver IP to determine the real-time health of on-chip circuits.

Cadence has added direct support for neural networks to the latest iteration of its DSP cores aimed at audio systems.

Cadence has launched an AI processor using an designed to take advantage of the sparse structure of typical deep neural networks.

After the moves by Cadence and Mentor, emulation in the cloud may only be the start of providing verification acceleration as a service.

Accellera has published the first release of the Portable Test and Stimulus Standard (PSS), with tools suppliers following up with software support.

Machine learning is gradually moving into implementation and verification tools for EDA.
