Bronco AI at DAC 2026, What a Difference a Year Makes

During my time at DAC 2026 I felt like I was attending two events. One was the traditional DAC where approaches to designing complex chips using the best tools and methodologies were the focus. There was another focus for the conference. This one was like the traditional DAC with an important difference. Here, the discussion centered… Read More


Optimizing for Thermoelastic in Package and PCB Design from the Outset

Signoff-quality design tools are mandatory for signoff, though not so good for early design exploration. Signoff demands high accuracy in design description and high precision in analysis. The first requirement can’t be met early in design where architecture decisions are still in flux, and the second depends on very detailed… Read More


Avestra: Agentic AI for SystemVerilog Assertion Generation

Avestra: Agentic AI for SystemVerilog Assertion Generation
by Daniel Nenni on 08-24-2026 at 2:00 pm

Avestra Studio Tuple Tech

Modern ASIC, SoC, CPU, and GPU development depends on verification processes that detect subtle functional defects before tapeout. SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA) are particularly important because they encode temporal design intent: how signals, states, and transactions must behave across clock cycles. Unlike conventional… Read More

Hot Chips: Evolving Memory Architectures for Artificial Intelligence

Evolving Memory Architectures for AI Hot CHips 2026

Artificial intelligence performance is increasingly constrained by memory rather than arithmetic throughput. Scaling laws show that model quality improves when parameter count, training data, and compute grow together, but this balance fails when processors cannot obtain operands quickly enough. Contemporary accelerators… Read More

How TSMC Is Wiring the AI Era With Light

TSMC’s photonics strategy is centered on integrating optical input-output with advanced logic, rather than selling conventional optical transceivers as standalone products. The company is developing a silicon-photonics foundry platform and a packaging architecture called TSMC-COUPE, or Compact Universal Photonic … Read More

Agentrys Shows You How to Build a Multi Agent System in 30 Minutes

Agentrys believes that a purpose-built multi-agent system for chip design shouldn’t be a quarter-long project. Agentic AI systems are becoming quite popular to cut design time and increase quality for complex chip design projects. The challenge is finding the right agentic flow for a particular application. There are… Read More

PDF Solutions Direct Connect Block

The semiconductor industry doesn’t have a shortage of data. It has a shortage of ways to turn that data into useful manufacturing insights quickly enough to matter.

That is the problem PDF Solutions’ Exensio solution has addressed for years. Built specifically for semiconductor manufacturing, Exensio brings … Read More

Focusing on the AI Big Picture with Moores Lab AI at DAC 2026

DAC 2026 proved that agentic AI design flows are here to stay. The news was conveyed both by familiar companies who we’ve seen at DAC many times before as well as new entrants to the show and the industry. Many of the solutions that were presented focused on a specific part of the design flow. Others took a broader view of the problem and… Read More

ChipAgents Leads the AI Revolution at DAC 2026

I believe this year’s DAC will be viewed as the time and place where EDA experienced a major shift. That is, the shift from the value of tools and methodology to the value of agentic design flows powered by highly trained agents. The design community will clearly need the tools and methodologies that have occupied DAC for years. But… Read More
