Link Utilization Graph

As AI and HPC systems scale to thousands of CPUs, GPUs, and accelerators, interconnect performance increasingly determines end-to-end efficiency. Training and inference pipelines rely on low-latency coordination, high-bandwidth memory transfers, and rapid communication across heterogeneous devices. With model sizes… Read More


Jensen Huang Drops Donald Trump Truth Bomb on Joe Rogan Podcast

Jensen Huang Drops Donald Trump Truth Bomb on Joe Rogan Podcast
by Daniel Nenni on 12-08-2025 at 6:00 am

Jensen Huang Elon Musk

How’s that for a clickable title? It really should be called Jensen Huang’s origin story but who is going to click on that?

As  podcaster myself I can say without a doubt that this was the best podcast I have listened to all year. During my 30+ EDA and IP career Nvidia was a customer on many different occasions. I do know how… Read More


An Assistant to Ease Your Transition to PSS

An Assistant to Ease Your Transition to PSS
by Bernard Murphy on 12-04-2025 at 6:00 am

PSS Assistant min

At times it has seemed like any development in EDA had to build a GenAI app that would catch the attention of Wall Street. Now I see more attention to GenAI being used for less glamorous but eminently more practical advances. This recent white paper from Siemens on how to help verification engineers get up to speed faster with PSS is … Read More


We Need to Turn Specs into Oracles for Agentic Verification

We Need to Turn Specs into Oracles for Agentic Verification
by Bernard Murphy on 12-03-2025 at 6:00 am

Spec as an oracle min

The natural language understanding now possible in LLMs has raised interest in using specs as a direct reference for test generation, to eliminate need for intermediate and fallible human translation. Sadly, specs today are not an infallible source of truth for multiple reasons. I am grateful to Shelly Henry (CEO of MooresLab)… Read More

Synopsys + NVIDIA = The New Moore’s Law

NVIDIA and Synopsys, two titans of the semiconductor ecosystem,  announced a landmark multi-year strategic partnership backed by a $2 billion investment from NVIDIA into Synopsys-led initiatives. The collaboration aims to fuse NVIDIA’s GPU-accelerated computing platform with Synopsys’ industry-leading electronic … Read More


Website Developers May Have Most to Fear From AI

Website Developers May Have Most to Fear From AI
by Bernard Murphy on 12-01-2025 at 6:00 am

Engineer struggling with a website

Further on the theme of what jobs will AI displace or radically change, I have been thinking about Walmart’s recent announcement with OpenAI, to enable customers to buy products directly within ChatGPT. Seems far removed from any care-abouts in electronic design but bear with me. We’ve been hearing about sizeable layoffs at Amazon,… Read More

Agentic Bug Localization. Innovation in Verification

Agentic Bug Localization. Innovation in Verification
by Bernard Murphy on 11-26-2025 at 6:00 am

Innovation New

Bug localization continues to be a challenge for both bug triage and root-cause analysis. Agentic approaches suggest a way forward. Paul Cunningham (GM, Verification at Cadence), Raúl Camposano (Silicon Catalyst, entrepreneur, former Synopsys CTO and lecturer at Stanford, EE292A) and I continue our series on research ideas.… Read More

A Tour of Advanced Data Conversion with Alphacore

There is always a lot of buzz about advanced AI workloads at trade shows. How to train them and how to run them. Advanced chip and multi-die designs are how AI is brought to life, so it was a perfect fit for discussion at a show. But there is another side of this discussion. Much of the work going on in AI workloads has to do with processing… Read More
