Last week, Synopsys announced an expansion of their Hardware-Assisted Verification (HAV) portfolio to accelerate semiconductor design innovations. These advancements are designed to meet the increasing demands of semiconductor complexity, enabling faster and more efficient verification across software and hardware… Read More
The demand for high-performance computing (HPC), data centers, and AI-driven applications has fueled the rise of 2.5D and 3D multi-die designs, offering superior performance, power efficiency, and packaging density. However, these benefits come with myriads of challenges, such as multi-physics, which need to be addressed.… Read More
In today’s rapidly advancing technological landscape, semiconductors are at the heart of innovation across diverse industries such as automotive, healthcare, telecommunications, and consumer electronics. As a leader in technology and engineering, Siemens plays a pivotal role in empowering the next generation … Read More
I am a fan of product releases which bundle together multiple high-value advances. That approach reduces the frequency of releases (no bad thing) in exchange for more to offer per release, better proven through solid partner validation. The Dynamic Duo III release falls in this class, offering improvements in performance, capacity,… Read More
Artificial Intelligence is now the primary driver of leading edge semiconductor technology and that means performance is at a premium and time to market will be measured in billions of dollars of revenue. Emulation and Prototyping have never been more important and we are seeing some amazing technology breakthroughs including… Read More
S2C has been shipping FPGA prototyping platforms for SoC verification for almost two decades, and many of its customers are developing SoCs and silicon IP for Bluetooth applications. Prototyping Bluetooth designs before silicon has yielded improved design efficiencies through more comprehensive system validation, and… Read More
The first chiplets focused summit took place last month. So many accomplished speakers gave keynote talks on what direction should and would the Chiplets ecosystem evolution take. Corigine presented the keynote on what direction hardware emulation should and would evolve for speeding up chiplet- based designs. During a pre-conference… Read More
The differences between commercial FPGA Prototyping (“Prototyping”) and Emulation have been well documented by the purveyors of commercial Prototyping and Emulation solutions, and the technical media. What has received less coverage is how Prototyping benefits differ from Emulation benefits. Both are intended to reduce… Read More
There’s a reason the verification hardware accelerator business is growing so impressively. Modern SoCs – now routinely multi-billion gate devices – must be verified/validated against massively demanding test plans, requiring high levels of test coverage. Use cases extend all the way up to firmware, OSes, even application… Read More
A few months ago, I wrote about Corigine and their MimicPro FPGA prototyping system and MimicTurbo GT card solutions. That article went into the various features and benefits of the two solutions, with the requirements for next-generation prototyping solutions as the backdrop. You can access that article here. At 250+ employees,… Read More
