We have been working with Keysight EDA for the past two years and it has been an honor. The technical depth we have reached with them is impressive. Niels Faché, VP & GM, Keysight EDA, is responsible for Keysight’s design and simulation portfolio. Niels has been part of the Keysight-Agilent-HP family since 1994 when HP acquired… Read More
For observers of EDA markets there is an easily overlooked opportunity for new growth. Today around 50% of EDA revenues come from systems rather than semiconductor companies, from datacenters to automotive, aerospace, energy, and others. In most of these industries total system design depends as much on mechanical and other… Read More

Chiplets have simplified one area of design but opened pandora’s box on another front. The simulation complexity of each chiplet is lower but now the chiplet-to-chiplet interconnect has become complex. Folks are experimenting with different interconnect protocols, variations of UCIe, modifying UCIe settings, interface… Read More
The web is a wonderful place to find information on almost any topic. While top-level information is easy to find, a deep dive often requires the services of a market research firm. These organizations specialize in “going deep” on many technology topics, offering insights not available with a Google search. And these services… Read More
