From my vantage point in the EDA foxhole it can be easy to forget that Cadence also has interests in much broader technology domains. One of these is in data center modeling and optimization, through their Cadence Reality Digital Twin Platform. This is an area in which they already have significant track record collaborating with… Read More
At NVIDIA’s recent GTC conference, a Cadence-NVIDIA joint session provided insights into how AI-powered innovation is reshaping the future of data center infrastructure. Led by Kourosh Nemati, Senior Data Center Cooling and Infrastructure Engineer from NVIDIA and Sherman Ikemoto, Sales Development Group Director from … Read More
Heterogeneous multi-die integration is gaining more momentum all the time. The limited roadmap offered by Moore’s Law monolithic, single-die integration has opened the door to a new era of more-than-Moore heterogeneous integration. The prospects offered by this new design paradigm are exciting and the entire ecosystem is… Read More
At CadenceLIVE 2024 Anirudh Devgan (President and CEO of Cadence) hosted two fireside chats, one with Jensen Huang (President and CEO of NVIDIA) and one with Cristiano Amon (President and CEO of Qualcomm). As you would expect both discussions were engaging and enlightening. What follows are my takeaways from those chats.
The great things about CEO keynotes, at least from larger companies, is that you not only learn about recent advances but you also get a sense of the underlying algorithm for growth. Particularly reinforced when followed by discussions with high profile partner CEOs on their directions and areas of common interest. I saw this recently… Read More
If you were at all uncertain about auto OEM development priorities, the answer is becoming clear: to accelerate/shift left automotive software development and debug. At 100M lines of code and accelerating, this task is overshadowing all others. A recent Arm update from Dipti Vachani (SVP and GM for the Automotive Line of Business)… Read More
Next generation electronic systems require an engineering approach incorporating a digital twin methodology for early verification with digital prototypes. Over the course of a design project, the digital twin model evolves to allow more complex interactions including analysis, simulations and validations earlier… Read More
The transformation of the vertically integrated electronics value chain to a disaggregated supply chain has brought tremendous value to the electronics industry and benefits to the consumers. This transformation has driven the various players to become highly specialized in order to support the market trends and demands … Read More
In a discussion with Tom Fitzpatrick of Siemens EDA he recalled that their Verification Horizons newsletter started 17 years ago, back when they were Mentor. We’ve known about the Siemens acquisition for a while. The deal closed in March 2017, but it wasn’t until January 1, 2021 that the legal entity merger was complete. Which makes… Read More
We live in a world run by electronics systems. With the exception of completely isolated systems, all others take inputs, process them and produce outputs. The value of a system is determined not only by how well it processes the inputs but also by how well it handles inputs and outputs. Handling in this context means, how much data… Read More
