For decades, One-Time Programmable (OTP) memory has been viewed as a foundational element of hardware security. Because OTP can be written only once and cannot be modified afterward, it has traditionally been trusted to store cryptographic keys, secure boot code, device identity, and configuration data. Permanence was often… Read More

Revolutionizing Simulation Turnaround: How Siemens’ SmartCompile Transforms SoC Verification
In the race to deliver ever-larger SoCs under shrinking schedules, simulation is becoming a bottleneck. With debug cycles constrained by long iteration times—even for minor code changes—teams are finding traditional flows too rigid and slow. The problem is further magnified in continuous integration and continuous deployment… Read More
