Beyond Workflow Agents: Toward Design Intelligence in Analog EDA

Beyond Workflow Agents: Toward Design Intelligence in Analog EDA
by ChandraM on 07-09-2026 at 6:00 am

ChandraM LongPost AgenticStack

Over the last year, the EDA industry has started using a new vocabulary: agents, super agents, mental models, native skills, playbooks, RAG, MCP, autonomous workflows, and AI-first design.

The language is new, but the motivation is familiar to anyone who has worked in chip design.

Design complexity keeps increasing. The number… Read More

Most crypto forty-niners died broke in a warehouse full of their computing rigs. Former Ethereum miner CoreWeave took its gold to Wall Street. On June 22, 2026, it joined the Nasdaq-100 — fifteen months after its IPO, nine years after its founders assembled their first GPU rig in a New Jersey office.

The people who built the physical… Read More

WEBINAR: Defacto is Boosting Front-end SoC Design With AI-Powered EDA tools
by Daniel Nenni on 07-02-2026 at 2:00 pm

webinar square AI 2026 v2

The real promise of AI in EDA is not to replace EDA tools or reinvent design flows, it is to help engineers accomplish existing tasks even more complex design tasks faster, more safely, and with far less tool expertise than was previously required.

The webinar explores what a truly effective AI-powered EDA tool should look like, … Read More

Why Real Time Intelligence is the Next Differentiator in Semiconductor Test

Even with advances in AI, automation, and advanced process technology, many semiconductor test operations still rely on reports generated hours after production has occurred. This creates a significant and growing problem. By the time engineers discover a yield excursion, parametric drift, tester issue, or an increase in… Read More


Why Huawei Says It Will Match TSMC’s Most Advanced Chips by 2031

Why Huawei Says It Will Match TSMC’s Most Advanced Chips by 2031
by Daniel Nenni on 07-01-2026 at 10:00 am

Why Huawei Says It Will Match TSMC's Most Advanced Chips by 2031

Huawei’s assertion that it could match TSMC in producing the world’s most advanced chips by 2031 reflects both technological ambition and geopolitical necessity. As one of China’s leading technology companies, Huawei has faced significant restrictions on access to advanced semiconductor technology due to U.S. export controls.… Read More

Applying QED to Hardware Accelerator Verification. Innovation in Verification
by Bernard Murphy on 06-30-2026 at 6:00 am

Innovation New

QED (Quick Error Detection) can be a powerful complementary addition to verification but can be subject to size constraints. This month’s paper looks at a fix for that limitation. Paul Cunningham (GM, Verification at Cadence), Raúl Camposano (Silicon Catalyst, entrepreneur, former Synopsys CTO and lecturer at Stanford, EE292A)… Read More

Why Compute, Memory, and Power Will Determine the Future of AI

Based on Dylan Patel’s SEMI Industry Strategy Symposium (ISS): Tokens to Infrastructure presentation, one of the most important themes is the emergence of the AI Economic Stack, where every layer of artificial intelligence—from semiconductor manufacturing to cloud infrastructure, model providers, and applications—is… Read More


How to Free Yourself from Inconsistent Engineering Documentation Before It’s Too Late

How to Free Yourself from Inconsistent Engineering Documentation Before It’s Too Late
by Mike Gianfagna on 06-25-2026 at 10:00 am

How to Free Yourself from Inconsistent Engineering Documentation Before It’s Too Late

Embedded systems programs often fail because critical engineering documentation drifts out of alignment over time and distance. This results in a team that is correctly following the wrong instructions. All forms of engineering documentation suffer from this problem, and it really is the silent killer of many programs.
