Simulating the Whole Car with Multi-Domain Simulation
Next significant automotive blog in a string I will be posting (see here for the previous blog).
In the semiconductor world, mixed simulation means mixing logic sim, circuit sim, virtual sim (for software running on the hardware we are designing) along with emulation and FPGA prototyping. While that span may seem all-encompassing,… Read More
QuantumPro unifies superconducting qubit design workflow
To create quantum computing chips today, a typical designer must cobble various tools together, switching back and forth between them for different tasks. By contrast, EDA solutions such as Keysight Advanced Design System (ADS) unify a design workflow in a single interface with automated data exchange between features. In … Read More
sureCore Enables AI with Ultra-Low Power Memory IP
We all know that AI is becoming pervasive in a wide array of products to make them smarter, safer and feature rich. Just look at the announcements from the recent CES show in Las Vegas to see some examples. These AI workloads demand a lot of compute power. Fueling this trend is the need for significant arrays of embedded memory on chip,… Read More
Challenge and Response Automotive Keynote at DVCon
Keynotes commonly provide a one-sided perspective of a domain, either customer-centric or supplier-centric. Kudos therefore to Cadence’s Paul Cunningham for breaking the mold in offering the first half of his keynote to Anthony Hill, a TI fellow, to talk about outstanding challenges he sees in verification for automotive … Read More
