As in any other engineering activity, the design of semiconductor chips (ICs) encompasses several separate, but often closely coupled, design activities. Today's system-on-a-chip (SoC) development ...
This paper examines the achievements and future of SoC design methodology and design flow from the viewpoints of an in- house EDA team of an ASIC and system vendor. We initially discuss the problems ...
Toshiba aims to strengthen position as leader in semiconductor innovation, and accelerates development of next-gen power ...
An increasing number of dependencies in system design are forcing companies, people, tools, and flows to become more collaborative. Design and EDA companies must adapt to this new reality because it ...
An internal computer aided design (CAD) or design services engineer is responsible for delivering efficient, robust and high-quality design flow solutions. The design flow on a day-to-day basis keeps ...
Recently, Brian Bailey organized a round table that resulted in a two-part article called Supporting CPUs Plus FPGAs. The experts discussed the evolving reality of systems design based on FPGAs and ...
As semiconductor technology pushes the boundaries of scale and complexity, traditional VLSI physical design methodologies are struggling to keep pace. The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI), ...
Software engineers have a host of tooling to organize their projects, chief being Git software like GitLab or GitHub, but hardware engineers today lack that same organizing principle. They are stuck ...
Nearly all designs at advanced process nodes need some sort of power-saving strategy. As more designs employ advanced low-power techniques, design teams are discovering huge implementation hurdles ...
