Agentic methods are hot right now since single LLM models seem limited to point tool applications. Each such application is impressive but still a single step in the more complex chain of reasoning tasks we want to automate, where agentic methods should shine. I have been hearing that software engineering (SWE) teams are advancing… Read More
Improve Precision of Parasitic Extraction for Digital Designs
By Mark Tawfik
Parasitic extraction is essential in integrated circuit (IC) design, as it identifies unintended resistances, capacitances, and inductances that can impact circuit performance. These parasitic elements arise from the layout and interconnects of the circuit and can affect signal integrity, power consumption,… Read More
Perforce at DAC, Unifying Software and Silicon Across the Ecosystem
As the new name reflects, chip and system design were a major focus at DAC. So was the role of AI to enable those activities. But getting an AI-enabled design flow to work effectively across chip, subsystem and system-level design presents many significant challenges. One important one is effectively managing the vast amount of… Read More
Double SoC prototyping performance with S2C’s VP1902-based S8-100
As AI, HPC, and networking applications demand ever-higher compute and bandwidth, SoC complexity continues to grow. Traditional 50M ASIC equivalent gate FPGA prototyping systems have become less effective for full-chip verification at scale. Addressing this challenge, S2C introduced the Prodigy S8-100 Logic system, powered… Read More
