Link Utilization Graph

As AI and HPC systems scale to thousands of CPUs, GPUs, and accelerators, interconnect performance increasingly determines end-to-end efficiency. Training and inference pipelines rely on low-latency coordination, high-bandwidth memory transfers, and rapid communication across heterogeneous devices. With model sizes… Read More

I’ve blogged about Methodics before they were acquired by Perforce back in 2020, so I wanted to get an update on Perforce IPLM (Integrated Product Lifecycle Management) by attending their recent webinar. Hassan Ali Shah, Senior Product Manager and Rien Gahlsdor, Perforce IPLM Product Owner were the two webinar presenters. Their… Read More

ClockEdge Delivers Precision, Visibility and Control for Advanced Node Clock Networks

At advanced nodes, the clock is no longer just another signal. It is the most critical and sensitive electrical network on the chip, and the difference between meeting performance targets and missing the tape-out often comes down to a few picoseconds, buried deep inside the clock distribution network. Yet many design teams still… Read More

webinar square2025 (1)

Modern chip design has reached unprecedented levels of complexity. Today’s System-on-Chip (SoC) designs integrate multiple processors, complex memory hierarchies, sophisticated interconnects, and much more. All requiring orchestration using complex EDA tool flows. Months are routinely lost to configuration… Read More


An Assistant to Ease Your Transition to PSS

An Assistant to Ease Your Transition to PSS
by Bernard Murphy on 12-04-2025 at 6:00 am

PSS Assistant min

At times it has seemed like any development in EDA had to build a GenAI app that would catch the attention of Wall Street. Now I see more attention to GenAI being used for less glamorous but eminently more practical advances. This recent white paper from Siemens on how to help verification engineers get up to speed faster with PSS is … Read More

proteanTecs Multi Pillar Technology

For decades, semiconductor teams have relied on traditional methods such as corner-based analysis, surrogate monitors, and population-level statistical screening for post-silicon validation. These methods served well when variability was modest, and timing paths behaved predictably. However, today’s advanced nodes… Read More


We Need to Turn Specs into Oracles for Agentic Verification

We Need to Turn Specs into Oracles for Agentic Verification
by Bernard Murphy on 12-03-2025 at 6:00 am

Spec as an oracle min

The natural language understanding now possible in LLMs has raised interest in using specs as a direct reference for test generation, to eliminate need for intermediate and fallible human translation. Sadly, specs today are not an infallible source of truth for multiple reasons. I am grateful to Shelly Henry (CEO of MooresLab)… Read More

Wilson Research Group, project schedule min

SoC projects are running behind schedule as design and verification complexity has increased dramatically, so just adding more engineers, more tests and more compute aren’t the answer. The time is ripe to consider smarter ways to improve verification efficiency. The added complexity of multiple embedded processors, multiple… Read More
