AI’m Always With You While Working

Artificial intelligence (AI) is not only just a buzzword today; it also helps us perform our daily tasks and is included in every task — it’s the engine powering the future. From personalized recommendations on favorite apps to self-driving cars, AI is transforming the way we live, work, and innovate. Now it is getting included in EDA tools.

Engineers have traditionally spent countless hours on routine tasks—running simulations, checking compliance, or debugging code. AI now helps to increase each task to enhance productivity while also improving memory and runtime by 100x. This means engineers can now redirect their energy toward solving complex design challenges instead of wrestling with manual iterations.

Forget the myth that AI stifles creativity. Engineers are using AI-powered assistants for coding, Midjourney for concept visualization, and smart scheduling tools to reduce cognitive load. These tools act as brainstorming partners, helping engineers prototype faster and stress less. Instead of spending hours sketching a robotic joint, AI can generate dozens of high-quality concepts in minutes.

From the above introduction, we understand that AI helps engineers perform tasks more quickly. Similarly, an RTL-to-GDSII flow enables learners to grasp the entire chip design process in just 16 hours through this online course, which also includes labs for hands-on experience. This course benefits every engineer planning to enter the digital semiconductor industry. Just as AI enhances and speeds up your learning, this course provides an overview of the complete flow with practical experience. There are consistently positive comments from those who have taken this course; a few are listed below.

What’s New in the Latest RTL2GDSII Flow v7.0 [Online Course]

• Enhanced the RTL Design and Functional Simulation Modules.
• Updated the latest features in the LEC, Implementation, and STA Modules.
• Updated the labs according to the DDI251 release.

Along with the above updates, there is one major update this year: Accelerate Learning. This will help users personalize their learning according to their learning gaps.

After you have enrolled in the course, you need to choose from the page below Accelerated Learning, which takes you to the pre-quiz, and according to your results, the remaining content will be enabled for you. However, you can always watch the full content with the Full learning path option.
