The semiconductor industry faces an unprecedented crisis that threatens the very foundation of technological innovation. According to the latest Siemens EDA / Wilson Research Study, first-silicon success rates have plummeted to just 14%[1]—the lowest figure in more than twenty… Read More
The EDA (Electronic Design Automation) and semiconductor industries are experiencing a transformative shift—one that’s being powered by the rise of Agentic AI. If you attended this year’s SNUG, CDNLive, and/or DAC 2025, you couldn’t miss it: agentic AI was the hot topic, dominating keynotes, demos, and booth conversations… Read More
On July 9, 2025, Derren Dunn from IBM Research’s TJ Watson Research Center delivered a DACtv presentation, as seen in the YouTube video detailing IBM’s EDA-as-a-Solution platform. This innovative offering leverages IBM’s high-performance computing (HPC) cloud to deliver hybrid and cloud-only infrastructure for electronic… Read More
After many years of hesitancy to jump with both feet in, semiconductor companies are seriously considering implementing cloud strategies and making required investments. Their concern though is, how much investment is it going to take? Some of the block-and-tackle challenges they face in implementing a cloud strategy are … Read More
This blog is a follow-on piece to an earlier one titled NetApp’s ONTAP Enables Engineering Productivity Boost. If you have not had an opportunity to read that blog, please do so for context. Using real life examples, it showcases how customers could improve real-world design engineering productivity as much as 10%.
For the … Read More
Dan and Mike are joined by Michael Johnson (MJ), CTO at NetApp. MJ provides “behind the scene” insights into NetApp technology and how it has quietly revolutionized information storage and management for chip design. The key enabling technologies along with specific use cases are discussed. MJ also discusses moving… Read More
One of the few things that remain constant in the engineering world is the desire for higher productivity. Innovation happens when engineers are designing something and creative ideas crop up when they are reviewing and analyzing the results. In between these fun steps, engineers have to deal with the necessary evil of creating… Read More
