Patron EM IR flow min

I arrived for my #60DAC booth appointment at Empyrean and was able to watch a customer presentation from Jason Guo, of Diodes. Jason was talking about how his company used the Patron tool for EM/IR analysis on their automotive chips. Diodes was found back in 1959 at Plano, Texas, and has since grown into 32 locations around the globe,… Read More

by Bernard Murphy on 08-09-2023 at 6:00 am

DevOps

Periodically I like to check in on the unsung heroes behind the attention-grabbing world of design. I’m speaking of the people responsible for the development and deployment infrastructure on which we all depend – version control, testing, build, release – collectively known these days as DevOps (development operations). … Read More

Cadence, AI, #60DAC min

Paul Cunningham from Cadence presented at the #60DAC Pavilion and gave one of the most optimistic visions of AI applied to EDA that I’ve witnessed, so hopefully I can convey some of his enthusiasm and outright excitement in my blog report. Mr. Cunningham reviewed the various ages of EDA design with each era providing about… Read More


Qualitative Shift in RISC-V Targets Raises Verification Bar

Qualitative Shift in RISC-V Targets Raises Verification Bar
by Bernard Murphy on 08-02-2023 at 6:00 am

SVIPs

I had grown comfortable thinking about RISC-V as a cost-saving and more flexible alternative to Intel/AMD or Arm in embedded applications. Where clearly it is already doing very well. But following a discussion with Dave Kelf and Adnan Hamid of Breker, RISC-V goals have become much more ambitious, chasing the same big system applications… Read More
