Embracing cloud computing is highly attractive for users of electronic design automation (EDA) tools and flows because of the productivity gains and time to market advantages that it can offer. For Siemens EDA customers engaged in designing large, cutting-edge chips at advanced nanometer scales, running Calibre® design stage… Read More
AI-Powered Transformation in EDA
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into Electronic Design Automation (EDA) is revolutionizing chip design, addressing the critical shortage of skilled engineers and accelerating the development process. As Jeff Dyck, Senior Director of Engineering at Siemens EDA, explains in a recent DACtv presentation, … Read More
Solido Siemens and the University of Saskatchewan
In my 40 years, I have worked for dozens of companies and just about everyone of them was acquired. Some of the acquisitions were accretive and some were not. Probably the best and most accretive one would be the Solido acquisition by Siemens EDA in 2017. I worked for Solido for ten years reporting to CEO Amit Gupta. I handled Taiwan … Read More
Podcast EP232: The Evolution of Yield Learning and Silicon Debug with Marc Hutner
Dan is joined by Marc Hutner. Marc has been innovating in the areas of design, test, DFT and data analytics for more than 20 years.

Siemens Provides a Complete 3D IC Solution with Innovator3D IC
Heterogeneous multi-die integration is gaining more momentum all the time. The limited roadmap offered by Moore’s Law monolithic, single-die integration has opened the door to a new era of more-than-Moore heterogeneous integration. The prospects offered by this new design paradigm are exciting and the entire ecosystem is… Read More
New EDA Tool for 3D Thermal Analysis
An emerging trend with IC design is the growing use of chiplets and even 3D IC designs, as the disaggregated approach has some economic and performance benefits over a single SoC. There are thermal challenges with using chiplets and 3D IC designs, so that means that thermal analysis has become more important. I just spoke with Michael… Read More
