Speech Title: Fueling the Semiconductor Renaissance
Abstract: The electronics industry’s renaissance continues to drive change and growth in semiconductor design. With the increasing influence of hyperscalers comes a restructuring of the ecosystem as they drive priorities for process nodes, packaging, PCBs, and complete systems. The productivity of designing software for intelligent systems is an increasingly important bottleneck. Data analytics are a vanguard of this wave of change, and Cadence is a key enabler of the technologies fueling the innovation.
