Jensen Huang Elon Musk

How’s that for a clickable title? It really should be called Jensen Huang’s origin story but who is going to click on that?

As  podcaster myself I can say without a doubt that this was the best podcast I have listened to all year. During my 30+ EDA and IP career Nvidia was a customer on many different occasions. I do know how… Read More

ClockEdge Delivers Precision, Visibility and Control for Advanced Node Clock Networks

At advanced nodes, the clock is no longer just another signal. It is the most critical and sensitive electrical network on the chip, and the difference between meeting performance targets and missing the tape-out often comes down to a few picoseconds, buried deep inside the clock distribution network. Yet many design teams still… Read More

PSS Assistant min

At times it has seemed like any development in EDA had to build a GenAI app that would catch the attention of Wall Street. Now I see more attention to GenAI being used for less glamorous but eminently more practical advances. This recent white paper from Siemens on how to help verification engineers get up to speed faster with PSS is … Read More

proteanTecs Multi Pillar Technology

For decades, semiconductor teams have relied on traditional methods such as corner-based analysis, surrogate monitors, and population-level statistical screening for post-silicon validation. These methods served well when variability was modest, and timing paths behaved predictably. However, today’s advanced nodes… Read More
