Agnisys AI EDA AI

I’ve been noticing over the last few years that electronic design automation (EDA) vendors just love to talk about artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), sometimes with deep learning (DL) and neural networks tossed in as well. It can get a bit confusing since these terms are used in two distinct contexts. The first… Read More

It’s been quite a while since I talked with Agnisys CEO and founder Anupam Bakshi, when he described their successful first user group meeting.

As a long-time member of the EDA community, I really believe in user groups. EDA tools are complicated beasts, with many options and different ways to use them, and they are constantly evolving. Users interact with their local field applications engineers (FAEs) and sometimes corporate AEs (product specialists) as well on a regular… Read More

Agnisys QEMU

Last month, I blogged about a webinar on embedded systems development presented by Agnisys CEO and founder Anupam Bakshi. I liked the way that he linked their various tools into a common flow that spans hardware, software, design, verification, validation, and documentation. Initially I was rather focused on the design aspects… Read More

Last week I attended the first Verification 3.0 Innovation Summit held at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara along with about 90 other interested engineers and former engineers (meaning marketing and sales people, like me). There was a great vibe and feel to the event as it exuded an energy level that I have not felt at an EDA event in years.… Read More
