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.
CPTF notebook: From restricted to ‘proscriptive’ design rules
Ever increasing lithography challenges mean the next generation of design rules may concentrate on telling you just what you can rather than what you cannot do.
CDN Live: Cadence’s Encounter revamp collates innovation
Performance boost claimed from streamlining optimization across synthesis and layout using modeling, novel CTS strategy and 20nm-ready features.
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.
By the numbers: investment, equipment, sales
We round up the latest headline forecasts and performance data from the Global Semiconductor Alliance (GSA), manufacturers association SEMI and the Semiconductor Industry Association.
DATE notebook: Three ways to tackle design complexity
DATE panelists discuss three ways to tackle design complexity: by moving to higher levels of abstraction; by making more subtle use of existing synthesis strategies; and by better organisation.
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.
DATE notebook: Stack those servers high
Concern over energy consumption could be the key to European companies moving back into the compute server market – or at least that's what the European Commission and researchers think is possible as social networks, GPS data and public video cameras pour data into a growing collection of online storage banks.
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 […]
