Accellera sponsored a luncheon panel discussion at #60DAC, so I registered and attended to learn more about one of the newest working groups for Clock Domain Crossing (CDC). An overview of Accellera was provided by Lu Dai, then the panel discussion was moderated by Paul McLellan of Cadence, with the following panel members:
-SEMICON well attended but bouncing along the biz bottom
-Recovery seems at least a year away with memory even more
-AI creates hope but not impactful- Disconnect tween stocks & reality
-AMAT me too platform- Back end benefits from chiplets
SEMICON is certainly back to pre-covid levels or perhaps better.… Read More
