Perforce Webinar Can You Trust GenAI for Your Next Chip Design?

GenAI is certainly changing the world. Every day there are new innovations in the use of highly trained models to do things that seemed impossible just a short while ago. As GenAI models take on more tasks that used to be the work of humans, there is always a nagging concern about accuracy and bias. Was the data used to train the model … Read More

Perforce at DAC, Unifying Software and Silicon Across the Ecosystem

As the new name reflects, chip and system design were a major focus at DAC. So was the role of AI to enable those activities. But getting an AI-enabled design flow to work effectively across chip, subsystem and system-level design presents many significant challenges. One important one is effectively managing the vast amount of… Read More

Single HW/SW Bill of Material (BoM) Benefits System Development

Single HW/SW Bill of Material (BoM) Benefits System Development
by Daniel Payne on 02-23-2021 at 10:00 am

Perforce - IP

Most large electronics companies take a divide and conquer approach to projects, with clear division lines set between HW and SW engineers, so quite often the separate teams have distinct methodologies and ways to design, document, communicate and save a BoM. This division can lead to errors in the system development process,… Read More

Methodics and Perforce

Back in July I first read the news that Perforce had acquired Methodics, and wasn’t too surprised, because many of the EDA vendors that we blog about do get acquired or merge with similar sized companies in order to be part of a bigger offering. When Methodics announced a webinar introducing IPLM 3.0 (IP Lifecycle Management),… Read More

IP SoC min

I love starting a new project from scratch, because there’s that optimistic feeling of having no constraints and being able to creatively express myself and get the job done right this time. For SoC designs today there are teams of engineers and maybe a program manager plus a marketing person that define the features, budget… Read More
