Digital twins are amazing technology, virtual representations mirroring a real physical system. Twin virtual models span software, electrical/electronic and mechanical subsystems, closing the loop with feedback from real physical counterparts. The virtual model calibrates against real sensing feedback gathered in … Read More

Assertion-First Hardware Design and Formal Verification Services
Generative AI has transformed software development, enabling entire applications to be built in minutes. But despite similar progress in AI-generated RTL, hardware verification remains a major bottleneck. RTL can be produced quickly, yet proving its correctness is extraordinarily difficult. This has revived a long-standing… Read More
PDF Solutions’ AI-Driven Collaboration & Smarter Decisions
When most people hear the term PDF, they immediately think of a PDF file, a universal, platform-independent way to share electronic documents.
There is, however, another PDF that many outside the semiconductor industry may not be familiar with. And this PDF actually predates the PDF file format. It is short for PDF Solutions, … Read More

Reimagining Architectural Exploration in the Age of AI
This is not about architecting a full SoC from scratch. You already have a competitive platform, now you want to add some kind of accelerator, maybe video, audio, ML, and need to explore architectural options for how accelerator and software should be partitioned, and to optimize PPA. Now we have AI to help us optimize you’d like … Read More
WEBINAR: Why Network-on-Chip (NoC) Has Become the Cornerstone of AI-Optimized SoCs
By Andy Nightingale, VP of Product Management and Marketing
As AI adoption accelerates across markets, including automotive ADAS, large-scale compute, multimedia, and edge intelligence, the foundations of system-on-chip (SoC) designs are being pushed harder than ever. Modern AI engines generate tightly coordinated, … Read More
Superhuman AI for Design Verification, Delivered at Scale
There is a new breed of EDA emerging. Until recently, EDA tools were focused on building better chips, faster and with superior quality of results. Part of that process is verifying and debugging the resultant design. Thanks to ubiquitous AI workloads and multi-chip architectures, the data to be verified and debugged is exploding,… Read More
AI Deployment Trends Outside Electronic Design
In a field as white-hot as AI it can be difficult to separate cheerleading from reality. I am as enthusiastic as others about the potential but not the “AI everywhere in everything” message that some emphasize. So it was interesting to find a survey which looks at the deployment reality outside our narrow domain of electronic and … Read More
