Engineers were designing at the system level even before the invention of the transistor. But the focus on system-level design has become greater as design complexity has increased. Product ...

It was a shimmering promise on the horizon: As SOCs (systems on chips) became more complex, we would simply move from RTL (register-transfer level) to the next-higher level of abstraction—what some ...

EDA tool providers will serve as powerful allies for customers to develop and implement workflows, and to show them what’s possible. Siwinski: You’ll see collaboration in the ecosystem because no one ...

The rapid escalation of AI/ML workloads—driven by increasingly large language models—is reshaping high-performance computing and AI data center architectures. Real-time inference and large-scale ...

During system-level design, engineers must understand the whole system's performance at a high level to see if it meets the required specifications. To do this, they need to specify and evaluate ...

Cadence Design Systems has started bringing artificial intelligence (AI) into the fold on its flagship chip design suite to help designers build smaller, faster processors that consume less power and ...

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 ...

The world of the hardware design engineer has changed dramatically in recent years. Designers no longer sit and code RTL in isolation to meet a paper specification, and then wait for a hardware ...
