PDF Solutions’ Exensio Was Built for Semiconductor Analytics. The New Exensio Aurora Architecture Is Built for Semiconductor Intelligence.
The semiconductor industry doesn’t have a shortage of data. It has a shortage of ways to turn that data into useful manufacturing insights quickly enough to matter.
That is the problem PDF Solutions’ Exensio solution has addressed for years. Built specifically for semiconductor manufacturing, Exensio brings … Read More
Beyond Moore: Co-Optimizing AI from Systems to Materials
At the OCP APAC Summit in Taiwan, August 11–12, 2026, Applied Materials’ Subi Kengeri framed artificial intelligence as the semiconductor industry’s largest inflection point. AI demand is accelerating the industry toward one trillion dollars in annual revenue, but the keynote’s central message was more consequential than… Read More
Focusing on the AI Big Picture with Moores Lab AI at DAC 2026
DAC 2026 proved that agentic AI design flows are here to stay. The news was conveyed both by familiar companies who we’ve seen at DAC many times before as well as new entrants to the show and the industry. Many of the solutions that were presented focused on a specific part of the design flow. Others took a broader view of the problem and… Read More

Rise Design Automation at DAC 2026
AI was everywhere at DAC 2026, so I stopped by the booth of Rise Design Automation to chat with Ellie Burns to hear what’s new this year. Ellie shared that Rise DA has added a new AI-powered flow to go from specification to a High Level Synthesis (HLS) model, to a RTL model. The reason for using a HLS model is to gain much more simulation… Read More
ChipAgents Leads the AI Revolution at DAC 2026
I believe this year’s DAC will be viewed as the time and place where EDA experienced a major shift. That is, the shift from the value of tools and methodology to the value of agentic design flows powered by highly trained agents. The design community will clearly need the tools and methodologies that have occupied DAC for years. But… Read More
