Fact 1: In the Computer History Museum, how many artifacts are about Electronic Design Automation (EDA)? Zero.
Fact 2: The average starting base salary for a software engineer at Netflix is $219K, and that number is $125K for Cadence; the starting base salary for a hardware engineer at Cadence is $119K… Read More
In the race to power ever-larger AI models, raw compute is only half the battle. The real challenge lies in moving massive datasets between processors, accelerators, and memory at speeds that keep up with trillion-parameter workloads. Synopsys tackles this head-on with its webinar, How PCIe Multistream Architecture is Enabling… Read More
The competitive landscape of hardware-assisted verification (HAV) has evolved dramatically over the past decade. The strategic drivers that once defined the market have shifted in step with the rapidly changing dynamics of semiconductor design.
Design complexity has soared, with modern SoCs now integrating tens of billions… Read More
In this episode of the Semiconductor Insiders video series, Dan is joined by Mohamed Hassan, who leads the Quantum EDA segment at Keysight. Mohamed provides a broad overview of superconducting quantum system design. He discusses the challenges for this design style and how EDA requirements for quantum design differ from

I should admit up front that I don’t have a scientific answer to this comparison, but I do have a reasonably informed gut feel, at least for the near-term. The reason I ask the question is that automated RTL generation grabs headlines with visions of designing chips through natural language prompts, making design widely accessible.… Read More

The semiconductor world has always been the beating heart of tech innovation, powering everything from our smartphones to the latest AI breakthroughs. However, as chip complexity increases and market demands accelerate, adherence to traditional development cycles may be stagnating design teams and slowing … Read More
Jennifer, an OEM hardware designer, is planning a product around a microcontroller she thinks will meet her needs and wants to supply power from a 3V coin cell battery which she must connect though a boost controller. Jennifer searches a rough description of the part she needs, generating a long list of component manufacturers … Read More
Every major supplier has its user event. This is usually where the latest innovations from the company are revealed and progress over the past year is promoted. While there may be user presentations and exhibits, the primary focus is typically the vendor communicating its messages to the user base. The upcoming PDF Solutions Users… Read More
We live in an exploding AI world, and this has put pressure on foundries to deliver new products faster than ever before. Any help to accelerate the semiconductor R&D goes a long way to make the life of Fab engineers easier. EDA tools in the TCAD (Technology Computer Aided Design) category are critical for TCAD engineers to accelerating… Read More
In a landmark announcement at NVIDIA’s GTC Washington, D.C. conference Synopsys unveiled deepened collaborations with NVIDIA to revolutionize semiconductor design and engineering through agentic AI, GPU-accelerated computing, and AI-driven physics simulations. This partnership, building on over three decades… Read More
