    Cadence and Arm
    By Paul McLellan | 17 May 2022
    I've been working with Arm for longer than Cadence has. In fact, I was working with Arm before it was Arm, back when the Arm 1 was a processor developed by Acorn Computers (the A in Arm originally stood for Acorn). I described my early involveme...

    What Is High-NA EUV?
    By Paul McLellan | 12 May 2022
    I'm sure you know that the lowest levels of ICs fabricated at the most advanced nodes, basically anything at 5nm and below, use EUV lithography (extreme ultraviolet). You probably also know that only one company in the world, ASML in the Netherla...

    A History of Cadence in the Cloud
    By Paul McLellan | 5 May 2022
    Cadence Cloud started before there even was a cloud. We just didn't call it Cadence Cloud. Back in the early 2000s, when I was on my first tour of duty at Cadence, we created something that we called Virtual CAD, or VCAD for short. The idea was that ...
