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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

What are the five core principles of hardware/software co-design? How do these principles help build a geographically diverse engineering organization that can successfully develop complex solutions ...

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 ...

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) ...

Most embedded architects think of AI as a coding shortcut. But the real power isn’t in cranking out boilerplate code, it’s in transforming how we design systems. Imagine capturing key decisions in ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
