Synopsys users will be gathering at a series of SNUG meetings across Europe over the next month to share insights and experience of using Synopsys tools

CDNLive EMEA opens 6 May, providing delegates with an opportunity to find out what their peers are doing with Cadence Design Systems’ tools in real projects.

Dr Chenming Hu joins Mentor CEO Wally Rhines and Xilinx SVP Victor Peng to keynote free day-long User2User in San Jose on April 25th, capping a full technical program.

The device modeling specialist has integrated its new NanoSpice simulator with existing capture and analysis tools in a broad design-for-yield package.

At DATE 2013, Synopsys senior vice president Antun Domic, described how techniques for the latest nodes are being rolled back into mature nodes, all the way to 180nm.

In the first of our weekly DAC 2013 previews, we discuss program highlights with general chair Yervant Zorian, including an expanded Designer Track, keynotes and golden jubilee celebrations.

EDA companies are having to plan for the different ways in which double patterning and finFETs could move into fabs, Antun Domic of Synopsys explains.

An early shift to finFET processes is making developing IP libraries more challenging.

Leading vendors and users spoke of the challenges in developing today's SoCs when faced with a plethora of prototyping techniques - and the challenges that remain.

Mentor Graphics has release a version of its Flotherm tool that makes it possible to build accurate models of heat flow through electronic systems from initial concepts through to prototypes without the extensive manual rework that these analyses have needed traditionally.
