A Big Step Forward to Limit AI Power Demand
By now everyone knows that AI has become the all-consuming driver in tech and that NVIDIA GPU-based platforms are the dominant enabler of this revolution. Datacenters worldwide are stuffed with such GPUs, serving AI workloads from automatically drafting emails and summarizing meetings to auto-creating software and controlling… Read More
A Principled AI Path to Spec-Driven Verification
I have seen a flood of verification announcements around directly reading product specs through LLM methods, and from there directly generating test plans and test suite content to drive verification. Conceptually automating this step makes a lot of sense. Carefully interpreting such specs even today is a largely manual task,… Read More
Digital Implementation and AI at #62DAC
My first panel discussion at DAC 2025 was all about using AI for digital implementation, as Siemens has a digital implementation tool called Aprisa which has been augmented with AI to produce better results, faster. Panelists were from Samsung, Broadcom, MaxLinear, AWS and Siemens. In the past it could take an SoC design team… Read More
