A case study describes how the RF and AMS specialist achieved efficiencies on a complex server DSP SoC project by running as-you-go DRC during place and route.

The upcoming VLSI Symposia will feature a number of papers that show the ways in which novel approaches are going to be needed to continue scaling.

Arm aims to introduce a novel security model in its upcoming v9 architecture along with further extensions for AI.

Siemens Digital Industries Software has launched the latest generation of its Veloce hardware-assisted verification systems with a product line that encompasses silicon virtual platform, hardware emulation, and prototyping support.

A new white paper reviews the history of the open-source platform and provides guidance on best practice development for embedded.

The metal has done sterling service for 20 years but the time is approaching to find a replacement for copper as problems with parasitics continue to build up, work presented at last month’s IEDM shows. But it's not an obvious switch.

Work by the University of Toronto and Arm presented at IEDM indicates plasmonics could be a viable contender for high-speed chip-chip communications.

Work presented at IEDM 2020 shows taking advantage of the IC backside for power and ground for the additional area can deliver further benefits for IR drop and security.

Arm is pushing more work onto Arm servers in the AWS cloud as it encourages EDA vendors to port their tools to the architecture.
