Intelligence at the Edge, Leverage at the Core
Ceva’s second-quarter 2026 performance demonstrates how an intellectual-property supplier converts design activity into high-margin revenue before customer products reach production. Total revenue increased 13% year over year to $29.0 million, led by licensing and related revenue of $18.2 million, up 21% and the highest… Read More
Mach42 Delivers a Different Take on AI in the Design Flow at DAC 2026
I believe DAC 2026 will be remembered as the turning point for AI assisted design. There has been discussion about AI infusion in EDA for a while now. Most of it was about how AI can be added to traditional tools to make existing methodologies better. This year, that changed. There were several new companies that highlighted a fundamentally… Read More
The AI Genie Is Out of the Bottle and Won’t Go Back
This week, Meta became the fourth major AI lab in two weeks to disclose that one of its own models breached another company’s systems during a security test. The company says a misconfiguration by an outside evaluator handed its Muse Spark 1.1 model internet access it wasn’t supposed to have — an accident in the test … Read More

DAC 2026: Accellera Luncheon Panel on Embracing AI for Advanced Design and Verification
AI was a hot topic at DAC this year. If you attended the event, you’ve already heard about many new tools and systems that aim to improve time to market and quality for advanced semiconductors and systems. I had the pleasure of chairing an Accellera sponsored luncheon panel on Tuesday at DAC that took a different view of AI.
As AI and … Read More
Shift Left with S2C Prodigy: From RTL Verification to Real-World Software Validation
For modern SoC teams, “shift left” no longer means finding a few more RTL bugs before tape-out. It means moving meaningful system validation earlier—far enough left that firmware, operating systems, drivers, applications, and external interfaces can be exercised before first silicon arrives. This change is essential as software… Read More
How SOCAMM2 Could Reshape Server Memory for AI
As artificial intelligence systems become larger and more demanding, memory is becoming one of the most important constraints in server design. Modern AI workloads do not only require powerful GPUs and accelerators; they also require enormous amounts of data to move quickly and efficiently between memory and compute engines.… Read More
