Automated Code Review. Innovation in Verification

Automated Code Review. Innovation in Verification
by Bernard Murphy on 07-31-2023 at 6:00 am

Innovation New

A little thinking outside the box this time. Microsoft is adding automation to their (and LinkedIn) code reviews; maybe we should consider this option also? Paul Cunningham (Senior VP/GM, Verification at Cadence), Raúl Camposano (Silicon Catalyst, entrepreneur, former Synopsys CTO and now Silvaco CTO) and I continue our series… Read More


Xcelium Safety Certification Rounds Out Cadence Safety Solution

Xcelium Safety Certification Rounds Out Cadence Safety Solution

MIDAS System min

While fully autonomous driving may now be a distant dream, ADAS continues to be a very active industry driver as much for its safety advantages as for other features. Today in the hierarchy of SAE levels, SAE 2+ may represent the most active area of development rather than levels 3 through 5. This range of options still requires a human… Read More


Convergence Between EDA and MCAD and Industrial Software

Convergence Between EDA and MCAD and Industrial Software

convergence eda mcad etc min

Cadence hosted a panel at DAC on how EDA, MCAD and industrial software have come together, a topic I always find interesting. Many years ago, I worked on a NAVAIR contract bid team, an eye-opener for a young engineer who thought that innovation started and ended with electronic design. I remember CATIA (3D modeling) being a component… Read More

Innovation New

Constrained random methods in simulation are universally popular, still can the method be improved? Paul Cunningham (Senior VP/GM, Verification at Cadence), Raúl Camposano (Silicon Catalyst, entrepreneur, former Synopsys CTO and now Silvaco CTO) and I continue our series on research ideas. As always, feedback welcome.… Read More

Tensilica DSPs

While sensor-based control and activation systems have been around for several decades, the development and integration of sensors into control systems have significantly evolved over time. Early sensor-based control systems utilized basic sensing elements like switches, potentiometers and pressure sensors and were … Read More

US giant swoops for British chipmaker months after Chinese sale blocked on national security grounds

US giant swoops for British chipmaker months after Chinese sale blocked on national security grounds
by Daniel Nenni on 05-21-2023 at 6:00 pm

UK US CHina Semiconductor Battle

According to UK based The Telegraph Pulsic is a chip maker and Cadence is a swooping US giant.  I guess you have to stretch the truth to get those precious clicks these days. Even so this is a strategic acquisition for Cadence.

Pulsic is a 20+ year old EDA software company that offers chip planning and implementation software for custom… Read More

Generative AI

According to some AI dreamers, we’re almost there. We’ll no longer need hardware or software design experts—just someone to input basic requirements from which fully realized system technologies will drop out the other end. Expert opinions in the industry are enthusiastic but less hyperbolic. Bob O’Donnell, president, founder… Read More
