Moores Lab(AI): Agentic AI and the New Era of Semiconductor Design
For decades, chip design has been a delicate balance of creativity and drudgery. Architects craft detailed specifications, engineers read those documents line by line, and teams write and debug thousands of lines of Verilog and UVM code. Verification alone can consume up to 35 percent of a project’s cost and add many months to … Read More
From Prompts to Prompt Engineering to Knowing Ourselves
I am on a voyage of discovery through prompting and prompting technologies because these are the critical interfaces between what we want (or roughly imagine we want) from AI, and AI’s ability to deliver. I have seen suggestions that any deficiencies today are a detail that will soon be overcome. I’m not so sure. Yes, prompting technology… Read More
Scaling Debug Wisdom with Bronco AI
In the business press today I still find a preference for reporting proof-of-concept accomplishments for AI applications: passing a bar exam with a top grade, finding cancerous tissue in X-rays more accurately than junior radiologists, and so on. Back in the day we knew that a proof-of-concept, however appealing, had to be followed… Read More

Webinar – The Path to Smaller, Denser, and Faster with CPX, Samtec’s Co-Packaged Copper and Optics
For markets such as data center, high-performance computing, networking and AI accelerators the battle cry is often “copper is dead”. The tremendous demands for performance and power efficiency often lead to this conclusion. As is the case with many technology topics, things are not always the way they seem. It turns out a lot … Read More
AI Everywhere in the Chip Lifecycle: Synopsys at AI Infra Summit 2025
At the AI Infra Summit 2025, Synopsys showed how artificial intelligence has become inseparable from the process of creating advanced silicon. The company’s message was clear: AI is an end-to-end engine that drives every phase of chip development. Three Synopsys leaders illustrated this from distinct vantage points. Godwin… Read More
Neurosymbolic code generation. Innovation in Verification
Early last year we talked about state space models, a recent advance over large language modeling with some appealing advantages. In this blog we introduce neurosymbolic methods, another advance in foundation technologies, here applied to automated code generation. Paul Cunningham (GM, Verification at Cadence), Raúl Camposano… Read More
