SystemReady Certified Ensuring Out of the Box Effortless Arm Processors Deployments Figure 1

When contemplating the Lego-like hardware and software structure of a leading system-on-chip (SoC) design, a mathematically inclined mind might marvel at the tantalizing array of combinatorial possibilities among its hardware and software components. In contrast, the engineering team tasked with its validation may have… Read More


Accelerating Electric Vehicle Development – Through Integrated Design Flow for Power Modules

Accelerating Electric Vehicle Development – Through Integrated Design Flow for Power Modules
by Kalar Rajendiran on 12-04-2024 at 10:00 am

Existing EV Power Module Flow

The development of electric vehicles (EVs) is key to transitioning to sustainable transportation. However, designing high-performance EVs presents significant challenges, particularly in power module design. Power modules, including inverters, bulky DC capacitors, power management ICs (PMICs), and battery packs, … Read More

A Master Class with Ansys and Synopsys, The Latest Advances in Multi Die Design

2.5D and 3D multi-die design is rapidly moving into the mainstream for many applications. HPC, GPU, mobile, and AI/ML are application areas that have seen real benefits. The concept of “mix/match” for chips and chiplets to form a complex system sounds deceptively simple. In fact, the implementation and analysis techniques required… Read More


Innexis Product Suite: Driving Shift Left in IC Design and Systems Development

Innexis Product Suite: Driving Shift Left in IC Design and Systems Development

Full Spectrum Development Inexis Developer Pro

At the heart of the shift-left strategy is the goal of moving traditionally late-stage tasks—such as software development, validation, and optimization—earlier in the design process. This proactive approach allows teams to identify and resolve issues before they escalate, reducing costly rework and shortening the overall… Read More

MZ Technologies is Breaking Down 3D IC Design Barriers with GENIO

3D-IC design can be both exciting and frustrating. It’s exciting because it opens a new world of innovation possibilities – opportunities that aren’t constrained by the rules of monolithic chip scaling. It can be frustrating because of the large array of complex technical challenges that must be overcome to make this new paradigm… Read More


Compiler Tuning for Simulator Speedup. Innovation in Verification

Compiler Tuning for Simulator Speedup. Innovation in Verification
by Bernard Murphy on 11-27-2024 at 6:00 am

Innovation New

Modern simulators map logic designs into software to compile for native execution on target hardware. Can this compile step be further optimized? Paul Cunningham (GM, Verification at Cadence), Raúl Camposano (Silicon Catalyst, entrepreneur, former Synopsys CTO and now Silvaco CTO) and I continue our series on research ideas.… Read More
