The 2026 Siemens EDA and Wilson Research Group study just came out. Verification now eats close to half the schedule on every IC and FPGA program. I don’t doubt that number. What I don’t know is how much of it is actually verification, and how much of it is something else showing up disguised… Read More
The industry is moving from simple documentation chatbots to agentic workflows capable of performing complex, multi-step tasks like design creation, verification, and library characterization. These agents are intended to enhance engineering productivity by roughly 50%. A panel of industry experts met at DAC to discuss… Read More
Abhi Kolpekwar, VP & General Manager, Digital Verification Technologies at Siemens EDA met with me at #DAC2026 to provide the big picture on smart verification tools, something they call Questa One. Their verification tools are infused with AI to improve productivity on projects like SoCs, 3D IC and chiplets. Abhi shared… Read More
Siemens has EDA tools and flows, NVIDIA has AI infrastructure, so what happens when these two companies collaborate? I’m at DAC 2026 and all the buzz this year is Agentic AI, so an came out on Sunday evening about how semiconductor and PCB design flows are being improved by this teamwork. Amit Gupta from Siemens and Timothy Costa from… Read More
NVIDIA’s expansion of the NVIDIA Agent Toolkit with PhysicsNeMo and CUDA-X libraries marks a shift from general-purpose AI assistants toward autonomous engineering systems. Instead of limiting agents to document retrieval, code generation, or workflow automation, the expanded toolkit lets developers connect reasoning… Read More

Analog and mixed-signal design teams face a persistent challenge that directly impacts tape-out schedules and project predictability: symmetry violations discovered at signoff trigger expensive respins, delay schedules and create unpredictable iteration cycles. Despite symmetry… Read More
Daniel is joined by Sagar Saxena, Senior Product Engineer at Siemens EDA specializing in computational lithography, optical proximity correction (OPC), and advanced patterning solutions for leading-edge semiconductor manufacturing. Sagar has led the development and deployment of advanced OPC technologies, including… Read More
As systems become increasingly complex across every field of science and engineering, the importance of computer simulation in design, analysis, and verification continues to increase over time. The traditional process in which a system is modeled and simulated in a single tool is called monolithic simulation. On the other… Read More
As semiconductor manufacturing pushes toward advanced nodes with tighter feature sizes, the optical proximity correction (OPC) workflow is adopting curvilinear masks to achieve the larger process windows that traditional Manhattan geometries cannot deliver.
Traditional Manhattan masks constrain shapes to vertical … Read More
The semiconductor industry is entering a transformative new phase, driven by the convergence of artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and increasingly complex chip architectures. That message took center stage during the keynote talks at the Siemens EDA User2User 2026 North America conference. Executives from Siemens,… Read More
