The Next LLM Architecture? Innovation in Verification

The Next LLM Architecture? Innovation in Verification
by Bernard Murphy on 10-30-2024 at 6:00 am

Innovation New

LLMs have amazing capabilities but inference run times grow rapidly with the size of the input (prompt) sequence, a significant weakness for some applications in engineering. State space models (SSMs) aim to correct this weakness. Paul Cunningham (GM, Verification at Cadence), Raúl Camposano (Silicon Catalyst, entrepreneur,… Read More

Fem AI Logo Reg R5

I was invited to the Fem.AI conference in Menlo Park, the first sponsored by the Cadence Giving Foundation with a goal to promote increased participation of women in the tech sector, especially in AI. Not just for equity, also to grow the number of people entering the tech/AI workforce. There are countless surveys showing that demand… Read More


Addressing Reliability and Safety of Power Modules for Electric Vehicles

Addressing Reliability and Safety of Power Modules for Electric Vehicles
by Kalar Rajendiran on 10-23-2024 at 10:00 am

Cadence Power Module Design Process

As electric vehicles (EVs) gain widespread adoption, safety, reliability, and efficiency are becoming increasingly important. A crucial component in ensuring these aspects is the power module (PM), which manages the energy flow between the EV battery and the motor. The design of these power modules must not only meet the high-performance… Read More

SI and PI Update from Cadence on Sigrity X
by Daniel Payne on 10-22-2024 at 10:00 am

Sigrity X

Signal Integrity (SI) and Power Integrity (PI) issues are critical to analyze, ensuring the proper operation of PCB systems and IC packages, yet the computational demands from EDA tools can cause engineers to only analyze what they deem are critical signals, instead of the entire system. Cadence has managed to overcome this SI/PI… Read More

You might think that in the sensing world all the action is in imaging and audio is a backwater. While imaging features continue to evolve, audio innovations may be accelerating even faster to serve multiple emerging demands: active noise cancellation, projecting a sound stage from multiple speakers, 3D audio and ambisonics,… Read More


Hearing Aids are Embracing Tech, and Cool

Hearing Aids are Embracing Tech, and Cool
by Bernard Murphy on 10-14-2024 at 6:00 am

earbud2a min

You could be forgiven for thinking of hearing aids as the low end of tech, targeted to a relatively small and elderly audience. Commercials seem unaware of advances in mobile consumer audio, and white-haired actors reinforce the intended audience. On the other hand, the World Health Organization has determined that at least 6%… Read More

Innovation New

How do you measure safety for a DNN? There is no obvious way to screen for a subset of safety-critical nodes in the systolic array at the heart of DNNs. 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

Even for experienced technologists some technologies can seem almost indistinguishable from magic. One example is the bird’s eye camera view available on your car’s infotainment screen. This view appears to be taken from a camera hovering tens of feet above your car. As an aid to parallel parking, it’s a brilliant invention; … Read More

Intel and Cadence Collaborate to Advance the All Important UCIe Standard

The Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express™ (UCIe™) 1.0 specification was announced in early 2022 and a UCIe 1.1 update was released on August 8, 2023. This open standard facilitates the heterogeneous integration of die-to-die link interconnects within the same package. This is a fancy way of saying the standard opens the door… Read More

Bug Hunting in NoCs. Innovation in Verification
by Bernard Murphy on 08-28-2024 at 6:00 am

Innovation New

Despite NoCs being finely tuned in legacy subsystems, when subsystems are connected in larger designs or even across multi-die structures, differing traffic policies and system-level delays between NoCs can introduce new opportunities for deadlocks, livelocks and other hazards. Paul Cunningham (GM, Verification at Cadence),… Read More
