Perforce at DAC, Unifying Software and Silicon Across the Ecosystem

As the new name reflects, chip and system design were a major focus at DAC. So was the role of AI to enable those activities. But getting an AI-enabled design flow to work effectively across chip, subsystem and system-level design presents many significant challenges. One important one is effectively managing the vast amount of… Read More


Double SoC prototyping performance with S2C’s VP1902-based S8-100

Double SoC prototyping performance with S2C’s VP1902-based S8-100

As AI, HPC, and networking applications demand ever-higher compute and bandwidth, SoC complexity continues to grow. Traditional 50M ASIC equivalent gate FPGA prototyping systems have become less effective for full-chip verification at scale. Addressing this challenge, S2C introduced the Prodigy S8-100 Logic system, powered… Read More

Altair SimLab: Tackling 3D IC Multiphysics Challenges for Scalable ECAD Modeling
by Kalar Rajendiran on 07-10-2025 at 10:00 am

What is SimLab

The semiconductor industry is rapidly moving beyond traditional 2D packaging, embracing technologies such as 3D integrated circuits (3D ICs) and 2.5D advanced packaging. These approaches combine heterogeneous chiplets, silicon interposers, and complex multi-layer routing to achieve higher performance and integration.… Read More


Revolutionizing Simulation Turnaround: How Siemens’ SmartCompile Transforms SoC Verification

Revolutionizing Simulation Turnaround: How Siemens’ SmartCompile Transforms SoC Verification
by Kalar Rajendiran on 07-08-2025 at 10:00 am

SmartCompile

In the race to deliver ever-larger SoCs under shrinking schedules, simulation is becoming a bottleneck. With debug cycles constrained by long iteration times—even for minor code changes—teams are finding traditional flows too rigid and slow. The problem is further magnified in continuous integration and continuous deployment… Read More

Innovation is never ending in verification, for performance, coverage, connection to verification plans and other aspects of DV. But debug, accounting for 40% of the verification cycle, has remained stubbornly resistant to significant automation. Debug IDEs help to visualize but don’t address the core problem: given a failure,… Read More

Bruce Caryl is a Product Specialist with Siemens EDA

The most common way to evaluate a power distribution network is to look at its impedance over the effective frequency range. A lower impedance will produce less noise when transient current is demanded by the IC output buffers. However, this transient current needs to be provided… Read More
