Synopsys builds 3D into tool portfolio
At the SNUG event this week, Synopsys is taking the wraps off its plans to support 3DIC, with updates to tools for physical design and verification.
EDA
TSMC Altera heterogeneous integration is cool but is it 3D?
This looks more like 2.5D silicon interposer-based technology to us, though it is a major and necessary advance
DATE 2012: Coverage roundup
This page brings together all of our coverage from Design Automation and Test in Europe 2012 in Dresden, Germany.
DATE notebook: Aldec builds in more support for VHDL methodology
Aldec has updated its Riviera Pro tool to provide more support for OS-VVM, the recently launched verification methodology for VHDL
DATE notebook: Constraints smooth path for FPGA synthesis
Blue Pearl Software has extended its reach into the world of field-programmable gate array (FPGA) design and verification with a project that has culminated in a tighter integration between its timing analysis tools and the Synopsys Synplify Pro tool.
DATE notebook: EDA for the rest of us
Old processes don't necessarily equate to old tools, panelists argued at DATE, especially when a lot of future work will be done on more-than-Moore, 3DIC technologies.
DATE notebook: Forget automation, give us acceleration
The CTO of one European design house wants better acceleration features from analog design tools, not automation that overrides their judgement.
TDF Circuits #1: BASIC sets clearer path to healthcare monitoring
Wearable healthcare monitoring systems are a fast growing market, and could surge when clearer device approval regimes are introduced globally. Despite that brake on growth, companies and research organizations continue to innovate in anticipation. The subject of the first TDF Circuits, a graphics-led series looking at innovative implementations, is a subset of the Bio-potential Acquisition […]
ARM decodes a surprising power benefit
ARM has found that in its work on processor design looking at the system-design and process issues as well as the way software interacts with the machine can yield surprising results.
ISQED focuses on systems, education and sensors
The International Symposium on Quality Electronic Design (ISQED) enters its 13th edition later this month, running March 19-21 at Techmart in Santa Clara. Although ISQED traditionally concentrated on tools and IP blocks, its agenda has broadened as the industry has migrated to SoCs and full electronic systems where process and manufacturing interactions have come to […]
