proteanTecs Multi Pillar Technology

For decades, semiconductor teams have relied on traditional methods such as corner-based analysis, surrogate monitors, and population-level statistical screening for post-silicon validation. These methods served well when variability was modest, and timing paths behaved predictably. However, today’s advanced nodes… Read More

Spec as an oracle min

The natural language understanding now possible in LLMs has raised interest in using specs as a direct reference for test generation, to eliminate need for intermediate and fallible human translation. Sadly, specs today are not an infallible source of truth for multiple reasons. I am grateful to Shelly Henry (CEO of MooresLab)… Read More

Engineer struggling with a website

Further on the theme of what jobs will AI displace or radically change, I have been thinking about Walmart’s recent announcement with OpenAI, to enable customers to buy products directly within ChatGPT. Seems far removed from any care-abouts in electronic design but bear with me. We’ve been hearing about sizeable layoffs at Amazon,… Read More
