When it comes to accelerated computing, NVIDIA is an industry pioneer, particularly so in the field of AI technology. The tremendous amount of power that is required to tackle AI algorithms and workloads is inherent in NVIDIA’s graphical proce...

Heterogeneous integration is ushering in a new era of silicon chip design with collaboration at its core—one that lives or dies on how well your teams work together.

In almost every episode of Star Trek (the original series), Captain Kirk would have to call down to Scotty in the engine room and demand more power. Well, the hyperscaler datacenter companies are Captain Kirk, calling down to the electricity companie...

The newest version of Fine Marine - Cadence's CFD software specifically designed for Marine Engineers and Naval Architects - is out now. Discover re-conceptualized wave generation, drastically expanding the range of waves and the accuracy of the modeling and advanced post-processing tools.

Understand the value of electrification when pushing the world towards sustainability

This year's Jasper User Group is coming up later this month on October 19th and 20th. Once again, we are back in person (I'll be there!) on the Cadence campus. There will also be a 3-hour webinar available before the event to provide an intro...

Physical design challenges such as congestion, routing, on-chip variation (OCV), and unconstrained paths are significant issues in achieving the design goals. Managing the routing congestion and physical design challenges with the least amount of effort is a big problem for physical design engineers. Further, the usage of advanced nodes and increasing functionality over SoC is leading to rising complexity and conflicting…

Data center digital twins address complex data center design challenges by virtualizing design and optimization

In a recent post, RISC-V Tutorial, I wrote about the history of RISC-V. The "V" is the Roman numeral for five. Hence, this is pronounced "risk five." With a five in the name like that, the obvious question is, "What were RISC...

Yesterday is the 30th anniversary of the release of the movie Glengarry Glen Ross. If you work in sales, you have almost certainly seen it. The movie was a critical success but didn't do well at the box office, probably because it is pretty depr...

'Tweak' is a handy command that is part of your toolkit. It's not something you're likely to use every day, but it'll be there when you need it. It is a small feature that can make a major difference between a grid and a bunch of points on which you can't compute an accurate or converged CFD solution.

Cadence AWR Design Environment Software Featured in Multiple Training Course Options: Live and Virtual Starting in October

Wow, September has flown by. It's already the last Friday of the month, the last day of the month in fact, and so time for a monthly update. Kaufman Award The 2022 Kaufman Award honors Giovanni (Nanni) De Micheli of École Polytechniqu...

To ensure an improved reliability and lifetime of devices, the circuit designers need to optimize the power consumption of the devices. This blog introduces a new dynamic check that you can use to identify the devices with large power density values.

When it comes to jobs like lifting and manufacturing, robots can be sturdy and reliable machines, but what about for tasks like cooking and cleaning? Or even nursing and rehabilitation? Enter National Tsing Hua University’s (NTHU) dual-armed r...

I first met Handel Jones in the early 1980s, I think. I was at VLSI Technology, and this Welsh guy showed up and presented some results from looking at our order book. We, along with LSI Logic, had pretty much invented ASIC and had a lot of...

In this webinar, we introduce you to Fidelity Flow and its pressure-based solver (formerly known as Omnis Open-PBS), demonstrating its advantages for simulating hydro turbines. Fidelity Flow is an easy-to-use multiphysics solver that provides fast and accurate results, including for unsteady simulations. We use the GAMM Turbine as a test case.

You might think that hearing aids are a bit of a sleepy backwater. Indeed, the only time I can remember coming across them in my job at Cadence was at a CadenceLIVE Europe presentation that I never blogged about, or if I did, it was such a passing re...

This blog helps in demonstrating the use of Pin to trunk routing style which helps in enhancing the layout experience.

Heterogeneous integration (HI) is a new way to design chips that aims to counter the growing expense and complexity of system-on-chip (SoC) design by taking a more modular approach using advanced packaging technology.

I keep reading accounts in the media and in the technical press (and YouTube) that misinterpret what RISC-V is. So today's post is going to explain that. Let's get the big thing out of the way; RISC-V is NOT a processor. I'll say that again to emphas...

Learn how to model unsteadiness in Turbomachinery with high accuracy achieving 100 to 1000 times faster simulations compared to full-unsteady methods. In this webinar we cover the basics of the Non-Linear Harmonics (NLH) method, outline how the essential characteristics of flow periodicity are used as a tool, and demonstrate the accuracy and effectiveness of NLH through a variety of test cases.

Depending on the circumstances, there are times in our lives when we have to step away from our work. Rejoining the workforce is not always easy, especially when taking a long break in the high-tech field. The Cadence Returnship Program provides a me...

Most engineers are of the view that all mesh generators use an underlying geometry that is discrete in nature, but in fact, Fidelity Pointwise can import and mesh both analytic and discrete geometry. There are several pros and cons to using both analytic and discrete geometries.
