The Real-Time Tuning (RTT) assistant is one of the most powerful features of ADE Explorer that helps you fine-tune your design without the need to run simulations repeatedly. It is equipped with simple and easy-to-use graphical user interface that lets you change the design variables and parameter values and also view the updated results simultaneously.

While working with the RTT assistant, you may want to reconfigure…

I attended the second Samsung Foundry Forum. As seems to be traditional for foundries, they had the usual rules that they wouldn't hand out the presentations, you couldn't record, you couldn't take photographs.

But you could take notes. So...

Welcome to the XTeam blog! We are a team of bloggers dedicated to showcasing the newest in parallel simulation technology with the Xcelium Parallel Simulator. In this blog, we will bring you informational and technical articles regarding Xcelium’s features, such as X-propagation technology, save and restore, and incremental elaboration, in addition to information about innovations and general improvements over existing…

Photonics is transmitting data through fiber optic cables. As such, photonics is everywhere in datacenters today, and increasingly likely to be in cars and planes. Optical transmission is very attractive since it can support high speeds, the transmission...

Yes, it's nearly here, the 54th Design Automation Conference in Austin, Texas (and by the way, the next DACs will be back in San Francisco and then Vegas).

Of course the underlying theme is System Design Enablement, moving design up to the next level...

In this week's Whiteboard Wednesdays video, Tom Hackett completes the story of the evolving von Neumann computer architecture and the adaptations driven by recent cloud computing challenges.  The effort to overcome these challenges has led to the development of a new industry standard called the Cache Coherent Interconnect for Accelerators (CCIX).

As many of you know, Cadence (more correctly, “I”) recently performed an industry survey about HLS (High Level Synthesis) to get a fuller view of the productivity experiences and expectations from users and non-users alike.

With nearly 200 responses, roughly half from HLS users and half not, we got a representative picture of what HLS users, potential users, and even skeptics believe about HLS. So let’s dive…

The last presentation that I'll cover in its own post from this year's Embedded Vision Conference will give you plenty of homework to do between now and next year's Embedded Vision Conference, where you can book a slot to present your nascent company...

Jeff Bier heads up the Embedded Vision Alliance (and, in his day job, he heads up BDTi). His own presentation was titled 1000X in 3 Years: How Embedded Vision Is Transforming from Exotic to Everyday. His main point is that we are living in a time of unprecedented...

The keynote on the second day of the Embedded Vision Summit was by Jitendra Malik of UC Berkeley. He has been working in the field since before there really was a field, and so was the perfect person to give some history, a look at the exciting problems...

The opening keynote at the Embedded Vision Summit in Santa Clara was by Marc Pollefeys, who is a director of science at Microsoft in Redmond, working on advanced capabilities for Hololens, and a professor at ETH Zurich. I'm betting he has a lot of Swissair...

"It's a visual world," Tim Ramsdale of ARM said at one point in the recent Embedded Vision Summit. "If I had a colleague come and drop a stack of plates at the back of the room, you'd all look round to see what happened, not listen harder." Today, we...

In this week's Whiteboard Wednesdays video, Megha Daga talks about how Cadence did a complete inside-out study and came up with the Tensilica Vision C5 DSP to solve the current challenges and evolving trends in the field of CNN.

Cadence was already talking about chip-package-board back in 2000 when I was putting together presentations during my last tour of duty. Around then, it started to become impossible to design the chip, especially the power network, to be robust without...

From 15-17 May CDNLive EMEA opened again its doors for around 700 attendees from all over Europe, who want to know more about the new products from Cadence. For the 10^th time Cadence Academic Network has organized an Academic Track, which definitely was...

Have you ever looked at the Corners Setup form and wished you had some way of finding that one corner out of the hundreds? What if you could filter for enabled corners, certain values, model files etc, then only run the corners you've found? Well now you can!

Now, the Corners Setup form has been updated and includes a filter column with the ability to save and delete filters and a way to enable only the corners…

Every year at DAC, Heart of Technology (HOT) organizes a charity event. This year, the cause is the Gary Smith Memorial Scholarship Endowment at San Jose State University (SJSU). If you have been in the industry for a long time, then you probably knew...

I love that recently Westerns movies are making a comeback. Something about the romanticism of a hired gun coming in with no baggage, looking at the situation pragmatically, and doing what everyone knows needs to be done, but just can’t.

Once Upon a Time in the West and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Sergio Leone’s epic Spaghetti Westerns, aren’t the only foreign influence on what we think of as American Westerns…

At the RISC-V workshop in Shanghai, the keynote on the second day was by Bunnie Huang. His new book, The Hardware Hacker: Adventures in Making and Breaking Hardware, has just been published. There is more about him on his Wikipedia page.

Everyone knows...
