Formal verification is an automatic checking methodology that catches many common design errors and can uncover ambiguities in the design. Formal verification is the process of verifying the ...

As the cost of chip turns has grown from thousands to millions of dollars, missed design bugs are unacceptable Chip design verification used to be straightforward, if not always easy. Verification ...

With the increasing size and complexity of FPGA devices, there is a need for more efficient verification methods. Timing simulation can be the most revealing verification method; however, it is often ...

Integrated circuit and electronic hardware design company Cadence Design Systems Inc. today announced the release of an artificial intelligence “Super Agent” designed to transform front-end silicon ...

For design teams adopting 3D-IC architectures, the relentless pursuit of performance and reliability brings a familiar, yet ...

System-on-a-chip (SoC) functional verification involves integrating multiple intellectual property (IP) blocks. Accordingly, understanding how to define, measure, correlate, and analyze appropriate IP ...

At the end of each year, I look back over the stories published and those that top the charts in terms of readership. I concentrate on those stories that are about the EDA tools and flows and the ...

Cadence Design Systems has launched a data platform that pulls in the masses of data being collected by EDA tools, and is using this to enable a suite of AI-driven verification applications that aim ...

In this paper, we will outline a solution for prototyping, programming and implementing Application Specific Instruction-set Processors (ASIPs). A general introduction into this class of processor ...
