Parasitic extraction is essential in integrated circuit (IC) design, as it identifies unintended resistances, capacitances, and inductances that can impact circuit performance. These parasitic elements arise from the layout and interconnects of the circuit and can affect signal integrity, power consumption,… Read More
As the new name reflects, chip and system design were a major focus at DAC. So was the role of AI to enable those activities. But getting an AI-enabled design flow to work effectively across chip, subsystem and system-level design presents many significant challenges. One important one is effectively managing the vast amount of… Read More
As AI, HPC, and networking applications demand ever-higher compute and bandwidth, SoC complexity continues to grow. Traditional 50M ASIC equivalent gate FPGA prototyping systems have become less effective for full-chip verification at scale. Addressing this challenge, S2C introduced the Prodigy S8-100 Logic system, powered… Read More
Since the fall of the Roman Empire, France has played a defining role in shaping Western civilization. In the 9th century, Charlemagne—a Frank—united much of Europe under one rule, leaving behind a legacy so profound he is still remembered as the “Father of Europe.” While Italy ignited the Renaissance, it was 16th-century France… Read More
