Siemens EDA

Mentor's AI Accelerator Ecosystem adds reference designs, libraries and other forms of support around its Catapult HLS platform.

AMD used Calibre with optimisations implemented for cloud support to slash runtimes on high-end server processor designs.

Wally Rhines, CEO Emeritus of Mentor, a Siemens business, delivered a bullish prognosis for the semiconductor and EDA sectors in a talk at the beginning of the Design Automation Conference in Las Vegas this week.

SEMI and the Design Automation Conference (DAC) have agreed to schedule the the US event for EDA alongside Semicon West in 2020 and 2021.

Design-for-test can no longer be left until the gate level for increasingly sensitive designs aimed at newer processes.

Mentor takes the wraps off new machine learning fueled features in its HLS and physical design families ahead of DAC 2019.

Siemens' new automotive platform commercializes and illustrates the company's ongoing integration of Mentor EDA products within its digital twin concept.

Mentor is active across the program and its main and Verification Academy booths within the exhibition in Las Vegas.

A digital twin is now more than just a virtual copy of a product. For Siemens, it is a multilayered concept powering a 'boundary-free innovation platform'.

Mentor's technical conference will take place on May 2 at the Santa Clara Marriott and feature more than 45 user and vendor presentations.
