Today’s analog/RF designs need interconnect inductance extraction
Parasitic extraction has to take more account of inductive effects as operating frequencies rise and feature sizes shrink in complex SoCs.
IC Implementation
AI firsts (and more) at America’s SEMICON
SEMICON West showed a distinct thematic shift away from preserving Moore's Law to assessing the architectural implications of AI, as EDA was brought into the event.
Using portable stimulus for automotive random error analysis
The Portable Stimulus Standard helps overcome many of the verification challenges inherent in the strict requirements of ISO 26262.
Getting better results faster with a unified RTL-to-GDSII product
Complex SoCs need systemic optimisation to achieve best time to results, enabled by the use of a unified RTL-to-GDSII flow underpinned by a unified data model.
Correct design and verification coding errors as you type
An IDE designed to catch typographical errors, missing declarations and inconsistent references in your code can hugely reduce your time in debug.
Speed up design and verification with a smaller layout
How to remove or extract portions of a layout for easier, more focused and faster project delivery.
Why hyperlinks are essential for HDL debugging
Text editors have major debug limitations that the use of hyperlinks in integrated development environments help you overcome.
High-level synthesis for AI: Part Two
How Chips&Media used HLS on the development of a computer vision IP block.
High-level synthesis for AI: Part One
The computational and algorithmic demands made by computer vision systems highlight HLS' value for AI system development.
Emulation for AI: Part Two
The second part of this feature looks at how Wave Computing's objectives with its dataflow processing unit for AI mapped to the use of emulation in its development.
