Computational Imaging Craves System-Level Design and Simulation Tools to Leverage AI in Embedded Vision
Aberration-free optics are bulky and expensive. Thanks to high-performance AI-enabled processors and GPUs with abundant processing capabilities, image quality nowadays relies more on high computing power tied to miniaturized optics and sensors. Computational imaging is the new trend in imaging and relies on the fusion … Read More
Is Your RTL and Netlist Ready for DFT?
I recall an early custom IC designed at Wang Labs in the 1980s without any DFT logic like scan chains, then I was confronted by Prabhu Goel about the merits of DFT, and so my journey on DFT began in earnest. I learned about ATPG at Silicon Compilers and Viewlogic, then observability at CrossCheck where I met Jennifer Scher, now she’s… Read More
Better Randomizing Constrained Random. Innovation in Verification
Constrained random methods in simulation are universally popular, still can the method be improved? Paul Cunningham (Senior VP/GM, Verification at Cadence), Raúl Camposano (Silicon Catalyst, entrepreneur, former Synopsys CTO and now Silvaco CTO) and I continue our series on research ideas. As always, feedback welcome.… Read More
Clock Verification for Mobile SoCs
The relentless advancement of mobile phone technology continues to push boundaries, demanding SoCs that deliver ever-increasing performance while preserving extensive battery life. To meet these demands, the industry is progressively embracing lower technology nodes with current designs being taped-out at 5nm or below.… Read More
