Europe is Getting Serious About ASIC Innovation

Europe is Getting Serious About ASIC Innovation
by Bernard Murphy on 05-21-2026 at 6:00 am

European ASIC Startups

I was born in the UK (then still a part of Europe), so always eager to see them succeed. But I must admit that past behavior has reinforced the view that the EU’s only active “contribution” to progress is regulation. However this seems to be changing in multiple interesting ways. On a grand scale, the Nordic economic model is taking … Read More

The “New Shift-Left”: Why FPGA Prototyping is the Ultimate RISC-V IP Sandbox

The “New Shift-Left”: Why FPGA Prototyping is the Ultimate RISC-V IP Sandbox
by Daniel Nenni on 05-14-2026 at 10:00 am

Cover pic

In the EDA world, “Shift-Left” has traditionally been a mantra for early software development—booting the OS before the silicon even leaves the fab. But as the RISC-V revolution accelerates, the goalposts have moved. We are seeing the emergence of a “New Shift-Left”, one that focuses on critical architectural… Read More


Beyond Tool Interoperability: The Emerging Governed Convergence Problem in Semiconductor Design

Beyond Tool Interoperability: The Emerging Governed Convergence Problem in Semiconductor Design
by Moh Kolb on 05-12-2026 at 10:00 am

Beyond Tool Interoperability The Emerging Governed Convergence Problem in Semiconductor Design

The semiconductor industry has spent decades optimizing tools. Today, however, the central challenge is no longer whether individual tools are powerful enough. The real question is whether increasingly specialized tools, domains, models, and organizations can still converge coherently into a manufacturable, reliable,… Read More

From Point Solutions to Agentic AI Ecosystems: Semiconductor Process Control Depends on Its Past

From Point Solutions to Agentic AI Ecosystems: Semiconductor Process Control Depends on Its Past
by Kalar Rajendiran on 05-11-2026 at 10:00 am

Agentic AI Natural Language Interaction with Analytics

Agentic AI is often presented as a revolutionary shift in semiconductor manufacturing, driven by large language models and generative AI. However, this framing overlooks an important reality: today’s advances are built on decades of prior work. As Jonathan Holt of PDF Solutions emphasizes in his recent keynote at the APCM 2026Read More

David Kelf Headshot

In the functional verification space, Breker Verification Systems stands out for its vast and long-standing understanding and ability to solve many of the seemingly intractable complexity challenges, especially in the system space.

I recently talked with Dave Kelf, Breker’s CEO, who has plenty of good news to share about Breker’s… Read More


The Great Divide: A Tale of Three Hardware Emulation Architectures

The Great Divide: A Tale of Three Hardware Emulation Architectures
by Lauro Rizzatti on 05-06-2026 at 10:00 am

A Tale of Three Hardware Emulation Architectures

Hardware emulation arose as a necessity out of the needs of the eighties. By the mid-1980s, semiconductor designs had outgrown the practical limits of gate-level simulation. Gate-level simulation delivered accuracy, but at glacial pace; silicon prototypes performed at real-speed but arrived far too late. The industry needed… Read More


A Different Angle on Co-Simulation for Systems

A Different Angle on Co-Simulation for Systems
by Bernard Murphy on 05-06-2026 at 6:00 am

FMI use cases

Co-simulation, two or more simulations running concurrently in some manner, is not a new idea. I have written before about multiphysics systems able to model thermal, stress, CFD and other factors simultaneously. I just read a white paper from Siemens based on a different method, using an open standard called the Functional Mockup… Read More
