DAC 2026 proved that agentic AI design flows are here to stay. The news was conveyed both by familiar companies who we’ve seen at DAC many times before as well as new entrants to the show and the industry. Many of the solutions that were presented focused on a specific part of the design flow. Others took a broader view of the problem and… Read More
For decades, semiconductor innovation has been constrained not by imagination, but by engineering capacity. While transistor density has continued to advance, the process of building chips has remained fundamentally manual, fragmented across specifications, RTL, verification, debugging, coverage analysis, and signoff.… Read More
For decades, chip design has been a delicate balance of creativity and drudgery. Architects craft detailed specifications, engineers read those documents line by line, and teams write and debug thousands of lines of Verilog and UVM code. Verification alone can consume up to 35 percent of a project’s cost and add many months to … Read More
