Shift Left with S2C Prodigy: From RTL Verification to Real-World Software Validation
For modern SoC teams, “shift left” no longer means finding a few more RTL bugs before tape-out. It means moving meaningful system validation earlier—far enough left that firmware, operating systems, drivers, applications, and external interfaces can be exercised before first silicon arrives. This change is essential as software… Read More
How SOCAMM2 Could Reshape Server Memory for AI
As artificial intelligence systems become larger and more demanding, memory is becoming one of the most important constraints in server design.
