The EDA (Electronic Design Automation) and semiconductor industries are experiencing a transformative shift—one that’s being powered by the rise of Agentic AI. If you attended this year’s SNUG, CDNLive, and/or DAC 2025, you couldn’t miss it: agentic AI was the hot topic, dominating keynotes, demos, and booth conversations… Read More

WEBINAR: What It Really Takes to Build a Future-Proof AI Architecture?
Keeping up with competitors in many computing applications today means incorporating AI capability. At the edge, where devices are smaller and consume less power, the option of using software-powered GPU architectures becomes unviable due to size, power consumption, and cooling constraints. Purpose-built AI inference … Read More
What is Vibe Coding and Should You Care?
This isn’t a deep article. I only want to help head off possible confusion over this term. I have recently seen “vibe coding” pop up in discussions around AI for code generation. The name is media-friendly giving it some stickiness in the larger non-technical world, always a concern when it comes to anything AI. The original intent… Read More
DAC TechTalk – A Siemens and NVIDIA Perspective on Unlocking the Power of AI in EDA
AI was everywhere at DAC. Presentations, panel discussions, research papers and poster sessions all had a strong dose of AI. At the DAC Pavillion on Monday two heavy weights in the industry, Siemens and NVIDIA took the stage to discuss AI for design, both present and future. What made this event stand out for me was the substantial… Read More
Architecting Your Next SoC: Join the Live Discussion on Tradeoffs, IP, and Ecosystem Realities
Designing a system-on-chip (SoC) has never been more complex—or more critical. With accelerating demands across AI, automotive, and high-performance compute applications, today’s SoC architects face a series of high-stakes tradeoffs from the very beginning. Decisions made during the earliest phases of design—regarding… Read More
cHBM for AI: Capabilities, Challenges, and Opportunities
AI’s exponential growth is transforming semiconductor design—and memory is now as critical as compute. Multi-die architecture has emerged as the new frontier, and custom High Bandwidth Memory (cHBM) is fast becoming a cornerstone in this evolution. In a panel session at the Synopsys Executive Forum, leaders from AWS, Marvell,… Read More
Prompt Engineering for Security: Innovation in Verification
We have a shortage of reference designs to test detection of security vulnerabilities. An LLM-based method demonstrates how to fix that problem with structured prompt engineering. Paul Cunningham (GM, Verification at Cadence), Raúl Camposano (Silicon Catalyst, entrepreneur, former Synopsys CTO and lecturer at Stanford,… Read More
Siemens Proposes Unified Static and Formal Verification with AI
Given my SpyGlass background I always keep an eye out for new ideas that might be emerging in static and formal verification. Whatever can be covered through stimulus-free analysis reduces time that needn’t be wasted in dynamic analysis, also adding certainty to coverage across that range. Still, advances don’t come easily. … Read More
