WEBINAR: Porting, Analysing & Optimising AI Models onto Edge GPUs
Modern AI models are opening up new possibilities at the edge. Turning those possibilities into responsive, efficient applications, however, requires more than choosing hardware with an impressive TOPS figure. Developers need to understand how models behave on their target devices, where performance is lost, and which optimisations… Read More
Using AI for Root Cause Analysis of Simulation Failures
I’ve been working with AMIQ EDA for almost nine years now, writing about their cool technologies and interviewing users about their experiences. I’ve read through more user guides and release notes than I can count. I’ve watched many dozens of video clips showing how to use their products. I’ve even visited their headquarters … Read More
Agentic AI accelerates 3D IC engineering for the AI factory era
By Sudarshan Deo, software R&D Manager for 3D IC, Siemens
What if you could completely rethink what an EDA workflow looks like for the increasingly complex 3D ICs powering the next generation of AI factories? Siemens’ expanded agentic AI portfolio is automating the hardest parts of 3D IC engineering.
At NVIDIA GTC Berlin 2026,… Read More
Intel’s Tiny Bridges Could Lead to Very Big Paychecks
Intel’s next big opportunity could come from something that sounds spectacularly unglamorous: connecting tiny pieces of silicon. Advanced packaging rarely attracts the attention lavished on powerful processors or artificial intelligence models. Yet it increasingly determines how effectively those technologies perform.… Read More

High-NA’s Obituary Was Premature
High numerical aperture EUV lithography was supposed to be the next step in semiconductor manufacturing. Then came the doubts: expensive scanners, smaller exposure fields, difficult economics and big customers finding ways to stretch existing equipment. It became tempting to confuse a delayed adoption curve with a technology… Read More
