Today all chip designs begin as lines of code. The code is written at a high level, hiding much of the complexity from the designer, and then synthesized into a low-level description for layout and ...

Sustainable software engineering addresses the challenge of developing, maintaining and evolving software systems that not only meet the demands of modern society but also minimise environmental ...

As mentioned in the previous articles on System Design For The AI Era, AI is more than a change in hardware and software. It is a change in design methodology that will require subsequent changes in ...

Homo sapiens is truly a diverse species. We appear distinct from each other based on our origins in various regions of the planet; we communicate using thousands of languages; we have different ...

Where are the system-level design tools that we need for systems on chips? For years the semiconductor industry has been marching noisily toward the world of SoCs, but now that we are here, we find ...

In today's lightning-fast software landscape, traditional architecture practices are becoming a bottleneck. The velocity and complexity of systems scaling across ephemeral microservices, complex APIs ...

About 15 years ago, the assumption in the EDA industry was that system design would be inevitable. The transition from gate-level design to a new entry point at the register transfer level (RTL) ...

It is now practical to write software for real-time systems long before the actual computer hardware is sitting in a physical prototype. In today’s world it is rare to find electromechanical devices ...

Used to perform FMEA, Software FMEA/HAZOP, DFA, and cybersecurity threat analysis, the software has embedded knowledge about likely system level problems that helps detect design issues early, for ...

Conhas Thakkar explores how digital twins can help to reshape the design methodology of automotive semiconductors and systems, enabling truly software-defined vehicles. Digital twin in automotive ...
