Recently, I had the opportunity to speak with Synopsys’ distinguished experts in speed adapters and in-circuit emulation (ICE). Many who know my professional background see me as an advocate for virtual, transactor-based emulation, hence I was genuinely surprised to discover the impressive results achieved by today’s speed… Read More

Early SoC Dynamic Power Analysis Needs Hardware Emulation
The relentless pursuit for maximizing performance in semiconductor development is now matched by the crucial need to minimize energy consumption.
Traditional simulation-based power analysis methods face insurmountable challenges to accurately capture complex designs activities in real-world scenarios. As the scale… Read More
On-the-Fly Code Checking Catches Bugs Earlier
There’s no question that chip designs are getting more complex, driven by the power, performance, and area (PPA) demands of applications like artificial intelligence (AI), automotive, and cloud computing. This complexity, of course, trickles down to the design and testbench code. When engineers can find and fix bugs before… Read More
