High-Level Synthesis (HLS) tools yield better PPA when the “right set” of optimization constraints and tool settings are applied. Determining the right set of constraints and settings requires design and tool experience and exploration. AI/ML technology has proven highly effective at exploring the solution… Read More

The problem of optimization is a long-standing one in the field of design. For years, the most conventional approach was the brute-force method of running parametric sweeps on the design space. However, as systems become more complex and the number of parameters increases,… Read More
At the recent Synopsys Users Group Meeting (SNUG) I had the honor of leading a panel of experts on the topic of chiplets. One of those panelists was John Lee, Head of Electronics, Semiconductors and Optics at Ansys.

As more AI applications turn to edge computing to reduce latencies, the need for more computational performance at the edge continues to increase. However, commodity compute engines don’t have enough compute power or are too power-hungry to meet the needs of edge systems. Thus, when designing AI accelerators for the edge, Joe… Read More
Semiconductors sit at the heart of the electronics revolution, and the scaling enabled by Moore’s law has had a transformational impact on electronics as well as society. Traditionally, the relationship between semiconductor companies and their customers has been a function of the volume driven by the customer. In very … Read More
Aerospace belongs to explorers. We have been instrumental in pioneering innovative and complex technologies — and now, new methods fuse with old for entirely new processes that take us further than ever into the beyond.
In four 30-minute sessions, you will learn everything you need to know to begin implementing optimization… Read More
Product LifeCycle Management (PLM) systems have shown incredible value for integrating the enterprise with a single view of the product design, deployment, maintenance, and end-of-life processes. PLM systems have traditionally grown from the mechanical design space, and this still forms their strength.
Meanwhile, due… Read More
It used to be true that a foundry or fab would create a set of DRC files, provide them to designers, and then the process yield would be acceptable, however if the foundry knows more details about the physical implementation of IC designs then they can improve the yield. Using a digital twin of the design, process and metrology steps… Read More
For the past few decades, System-on-Chip (SoC) has been the gold standard for optimizing the performance and cost of electronic systems. Pulling together practically all of a smartphone’s digital and analog capabilities into a monolithic chip, the mobile application processor serves as a near-perfect example of an SoC. But… Read More
