In the rapidly evolving semiconductor industry, keeping pace with Moore’s Law presents opportunities and challenges, particularly in system-on-chip (SoC) designs. Notably, the number of transistors in ...

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 ...

Achieving efficiency in integrated circuit (IC) design while maintaining design quality is not just a goal, but a necessity. Designers constantly strive to strike a balance between ever-tightening ...

This course introduces the basic concepts of functional verification and model checking, highlighting their importance in modern system designs. It explains different modeling formalisms for ...

Computational models and simulations have had an important role in engineering analysis since as far back as the 1960s. It is widely recognized that the use of modeling and simulation tools can make ...

Fifteen years ago verification of FPGA designs was easy but as the size of FPGAs has increased so have the verification challenges, Jerry Kaczynski explains. Today it is not unusual for FPGA users to ...
