Rethink Scoreboards to Supercharge AI-Era CPUs
By Dr. Thang Minh Tran, CEO/CTO Simplex Micro
Today’s AI accelerators—whether built for massive data centers or low-power edge devices—face a common set of challenges: deep pipelines, complex data dependencies, and the high cost of speculative execution. These same concerns have long been familiar in high-frequency microprocessor… Read More

Jitter: The Overlooked PDN Quality Metric
Bruce Caryl is a Product Specialist with Siemens EDA
The most common way to evaluate a power distribution network is to look at its impedance over the effective frequency range. A lower impedance will produce less noise when transient current is demanded by the IC output buffers. However, this transient current needs to be provided… Read More
Facing the Quantum Nature of EUV Lithography
The topics of stochastics and blur in EUV lithography has been examined by myself for quite some time now [1,2], but I am happy to see that others are pursuing this direction seriously as well [3]. As advanced node half-pitch dimensions approach 10 nm and smaller, the size of molecules in the resist becomes impossible to ignore for… Read More
