Multicore and Multiprocessor SoCs (MPSoCs) started a new computing era, but brought a twofold challenge: building HW easy to use by SW designers and building SW that fully exploits HW capabilities. The main domains addressed at MPSoC Forum are related to adapting HW and SW for better cost, performances and energy efficiency

IC designs need to operate reliably under varying conditions and avoid inefficiencies like leakage across power domains. But how do you verify that connections between IP blocks has been done properly? This is where reliability verification, Electrical Rule Checking (ERC) tools and dynamic simulations all come into play particularly… Read More
Daniel Nenni is joined by Dr. Sailesh Kumar, CEO of Baya Systems. With over two decades of experience, Sailesh is a seasoned expert in SoC, fabric, I/O, memory architecture, and algorithms. Previously, Sailesh founded NetSpeed Systems and served as its Chief Technology Officer until its successful acquisition by Intel. Sailesh… Read More
In the early days an IC had a single clock and a single reset signal, making it a simple matter to reset the chip into a known, stable state, so there was little need for detailed analysis. For modern designs there can be dozens to hundreds of clocks, creating separate domains and some use of asynchronous resets, so the challenge of ensuring… Read More
The ASIC business has always been a key enabler of the semiconductor industry but it is a difficult business. In my 40 years I have seen many ASIC companies come and go but I have never seen one like Alchip.
Alchip Technologies Ltd. was founded more than 20 years ago, about half way through my career. I know one of the founders, a fiercely… Read More
As the complexity of modern System-on-Chip (SoC) designs continues to rise, achieving energy efficiency measured as performance per watt has become a crucial design goal. With the increasing demand for powerful, multifunctional chips, balancing performance with power consumption has become essential. Realistic workloads… Read More
The Design Automation Conference (DAC) is a premier event that focuses on the design and automation of electronic systems. It is an annual conference that has been held since 1964, making it one of the longest-running and most established events in the field of electronic design automation (EDA).
DAC offers outstanding training,… Read More
Dieter Therssen obtained his master’s degree in Electronics Engineering from KU Leuven in 1987. He started his career as a hardware design engineer, using IMEC’s visionary tools and design methodologies in the early days of silicon integration.
Since then, Dieter developed his career across many digital technologies,… Read More
Semiconductor intellectual property (IP) plays a critical role in modern system-on-chip (SoC) designs. That’s not surprising given that modern SoCs are highly complex designs that leverage already proven building blocks such as processors, interfaces, foundational IP, on-chip bus fabrics, security IP, and others. This… Read More
The automotive industry is undergoing a remarkable transformation, with vehicles becoming more connected, automated, and reliant on software. While these advancements promise convenience, comfort and efficiency to the consumers, the nature and complexity of the technologies also raise concerns for functional safety … Read More
