With over a trillion chips manufactured every year and application requirements evolving faster than ever (across automotive, HPC, and AI), the pressure on SoC design teams has never been higher with design space keeps growing and schedules keep shrinking.
Indeed, for a complex SoC project, the number of possible configurations… Read More
Defacto has been a leading provider of SoC integration tools for large-scale designs for years. Most major semiconductor companies already use their solutions, and several customers will be presenting how they leverage the Defacto solution (SoC Compiler) at the upcoming DAC conference.
Modern SoCs can be complex with hundreds to thousands of IP blocks, so there’s an increasing need to have a front-end build and assembly methodology in place, eliminating manual steps and error-prone approaches. I’ve been writing about an EDA company that focuses on this area for design automation, Defacto Technologies, and … Read More

In the fast-evolving world of semiconductor design, chip designers are constantly on the lookout for EDA tools that can enhance their productivity, streamline workflows, and push the boundaries of innovation. Although Tcl is currently the most widely used language, it seems to be reaching its limits in the face of the growing… Read More
When I was at DAC last month, I had the chance to talk with Chouki Aktouf and Bastien Gratréaux from Defacto and they told me about a new innovative solution to generate Arm-based System-on-Chips. I heard that this solution has now been released.
Defacto and Arm developed a joint SoC design flow to help Arm users cover all needed automation—from… Read More
