Electronics production in the major developed countries has been showing slow growth or declines in 2024. United States electronics production three-month-average change versus a year ago (3/12 change) was 0.4% in July 2024, the slowest since the pandemic year of 2020. Growth has been slowing since averaging 6.5% in 2022 and… Read More
The complexity of System-on-Chip (SoC) designs continues to rise at an accelerated rate, with design complexity doubling approximately every two years. This increasing complexity makes verification a more difficult and time-consuming task for design engineers. Among the key verification challenges is managing reset domain… Read More
Even though this is the 16th OIP event please remember that TSMC has been working closely with EDA and IP companies for 20+ years with reference flows and other design enablement and silicon verification activities. The father of OIP officially is Dr. Morris Chang who named it the Grand Alliance. However, Dr. Cliff Hou is the one … Read More
Part 2 of this 4-part series reviews the role of virtual prototypes as stand-alone tools and their use in hybrid emulation for early software validation, a practice known as the “shift-left” methodology. It assesses the differences among these approaches, focusing on their pros and cons.
The Immensity of Software Development… Read More
How do you measure safety for a DNN? There is no obvious way to screen for a subset of safety-critical nodes in the systolic array at the heart of DNNs. Paul Cunningham (GM, Verification at Cadence), Raúl Camposano (Silicon Catalyst, entrepreneur, former Synopsys CTO and now Silvaco CTO) and I continue our series on research ideas.… Read More
It is a well-known fact that chiplets provide several advantages over traditional monolithic chips. Despite these benefits, the transition to a chiplet-based design paradigm presents challenges that need coordinated efforts across the industry. In essence, collaborative efforts among various players involved are not … Read More
