Design re-use has enabled IC design teams to create billion-transistor designs where hundreds of IP blocks are pre-built from internal or external sources. Keeping track of where each of these IP blocks came from, what their version status is, managing IP, or even discerning their license status can be a full-time job if tracked… Read More

Cliosoft’s Smart Storage Strategy for Better Workspace Management
Over the years storage has gotten very cheap, or has it? As a typical consumer, we take data storage for granted because access to it has gotten very cheap. Long gone are the days of being limited to 1.44MB floppy disks to store data. The smart devices we carry around with us can store 100’s of GB of data. That is a lot of data. But what about… Read More
Webinar: Streamlining ship design with simulation and data management
Holistic approach covering structural analysis, CAD and CFD
Marine vessels are rapidly changing in their size and complexity. To successfully tackle this, it is essential to keep track of the structural layout of the ship and the hundreds of thousands… Read More
Enabling MBSE and Simulation Data Management
In this webinar, we’ll discuss the critical capabilities of Ansys Minerva and Ansys ModelCenter as they relate to managing simulation data, automating multi-tool processes, and unifying the digital ecosystem. In addition, we’ll demonstrate how they address challenges related to data democratization, digital thread traceability,
Future of Semiconductor Design: 2022 Predictions and Trends
Predictions and trends create the forces that accelerate innovations and keep the industry moving forward. We are all used to hearing of important issues and challenges, usually in the context of solutions offered by various vendors. The SemiWiki forum plays its role in bringing awareness of all of the above to its audience. For… Read More
Concurrency and Collaboration – Keeping a Dispersed Design Team in Sync with NetApp
In a recent post, I discussed how NetApp provides comprehensive support for moving your EDA flow to the cloud. In that post, I explored the tools, technologies and services that help design organizations move to the cloud in a coherent, predictable, and incremental manner. Having a smooth-running hybrid/on-premise or… Read More
Data Management Challenges in Physical Design
IC physical design (PD) teams face several challenges while dealing with tapeout schedules. With shrinking process nodes and stringent PPA targets, the complexity of physical design flows and EDA design tools has increased multifold. In addition the amount of design data that needs to be managed has also increased exponentially.… Read More
Data Management for SoCs – Not Optional Anymore
Design Management (DM) encompasses business decisions, strategies and processes that enable product innovations. It is the foundation for both effective collaboration and gaining competitive advantage in the industry. This also applies in the high-tech space we are in, as having a sound underlying SoC data management for… Read More
Qorvo Uses ClioSoft to Bring Design Data Management to RF Design
A couple weeks ago I gave a heads-up about a webinar that was being hosted by ClioSoft, Qorvo and Keysight. The topic of the webinar was how to manage custom RF designs across multiple design teams and CAD flows. The webinar was held on February 1st and included presentations by Marcus Ray of Qorvo and Michele Azarian of Keysight.

Managing International Design Collaboration
Customer perspectives on a tool are always interesting, as much for why they felt the need for the tool as how it is working out for them in practice. Active-Semi, an emerging leader in power management and digital motor drive ICs gave a presentation at CDNLive describing why they adopted ClioSoft tools for design collaboration … Read More
