Hardware emulation arose as a necessity out of the needs of the eighties. By the mid-1980s, semiconductor designs had outgrown the practical limits of gate-level simulation. Gate-level simulation delivered accuracy, but at glacial pace; silicon prototypes performed at real-speed but arrived far too late. The industry needed… Read More

Webinar: Application-Specific Processors (ASIPs) for Physical AI
Physical AI is increasingly popular in applications requiring real-time decision making and autonomous operation. Different from NPUs for cloud platforms, Physical AI processors can be made application-specific. By jointly tuning their ISA and memory architecture to the network models required by the application, power
From Wooden Boards to White Gloves: How FPGA Prototyping and Emulation Became Two Worlds of Verification… and How the Convergence Is Unfolding
FPGA prototyping and hardware emulation originated from two independent demands that emerged at roughly the same time, namely, the necessity to implement digital designs in reconfigurable hardware. This was conceivable given the newly introduced field programmable gate array (FPGA) device.
Yet from the very beginning they… Read More
