Now that live events are filling up there are even more live events especially here in Silicon Valley. Synopsys, the #1 full IP provider, will host a processor summit here in Santa Clara next month. Given the popularity of anything RISC-V, I would expect this event to be very well attended so be sure and register in advance.
The networking… Read More
It’s well known that flash is the embedded non-volatile memory (NVM) incumbent technology. As with many technologies, flash is bumping into limits such as power consumption, speed, endurance and cost. It is also not scalable below 28nm. This presents problems for applications such as AI inference engines that require embedded… Read More
This year’s Future of Memory and Storage Conference (formerly the Flash Memory Summit) was again very well attended. The Santa Clara Convention Center is definitely the place to be for a Silicon Valley Conference.
This post is about the Emerging Memories session organized by Dave Eggleston. We will be covering other sessions… Read More
When designing IP for system-on-chip (SoC) and application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) implementations, IP designers strive for perfection. Optimal engineering often yields the smallest die area, thereby reducing both cost and power consumption while maximizing performance.
Similarly, when incorporating embedded… Read More
This was my 40th Design Automation Conference and based on my follow-up conversations inside the semiconductor ecosystem it did not disappoint. The gauge I use for exhibitors is “qualified customer engagements” that may result in the sale of their products. This DAC was the best for that metric since the pandemic, absolutely.… Read More
At #61DAC it was quite clear that semiconductors have “grown up”. The technology has taken its place in the world as a mission-critical enabler for a growing list of industries and applications. Reliability and stability become very important as this change progresses. An error of failure is somewhere between inconvenient… Read More
Semiconductor IP has continued to grow as a market, and it was clearly a star performer at #61DAC. We all know the large suppliers of IP for semiconductors, but the market is actually quite diverse, with many players supporting many applications. I had a chance to meet with two executives from CAST, a company with a remarkably … Read More
I recall first blogging about Helix IPLM (formerly Methodics IPLM) at DAC in 2012, then Perforce acquired the company in July 2020, so I stopped by the Perforce booth this year at DAC to get an update from Martin Hall, Principal Solutions Engineer at Perforce. Martin’s background includes working at Dassault Systemes, Synchronicity,… Read More
#61DAC Is the place to go for the latest ideas, technology and products for semiconductor design and manufacturing. Between the exhibit floor and the technical program, you can get a vast education on almost any topic. In this post, I will focus on a unique company and a new version of a unique solution. IROC Technologies specializes… Read More
When I was at DAC last month, I had the chance to talk with Chouki Aktouf and Bastien Gratréaux from Defacto and they told me about a new innovative solution to generate Arm-based System-on-Chips. I heard that this solution has now been released.
Defacto and Arm developed a joint SoC design flow to help Arm users cover all needed automation—from… Read More
