Last week’s blog ended with some of the IOT trends that Somshubhro Pal Choudhury, who was a guest speaker at CDNLive India 2017, spoke about during his talk.

This blog post will look at some of the vertical markets where, according to Som, there...

Tomorrow it is the Linley Microprocessor Conference and Pulin Desai of Cadence is one of the presenters this morning. He will be talking about Scaling Embedded Inference Performance for Deep Learning.

Of course, Deep Learning (DL) is one...

PSS is the Accellera Portable Stimulus Standard. Or I should say proposed standard, since it isn't finalized yet. At CDNLive India, Prabhat Gupta of AMD presented First Encounter with Emerging Portable Stimulus Methodology. Of course, since the standard...

In the past, some of you have expressed the desire to have all the information and content specific to a product at one place. You said it, we did it!

Now, all you need is choose a product of your choice after logging in at https://support.cadence.c...

You know how you sometimes say "the other day" as if it was last week, or maybe the week before, when actually it was several months ago? Well, the other day, I attended a presentation by Garage Technology Ventures on The Art and Science...

Jim Hogan is a graduate of San Jose State University. Despite the prestige of Stanford and Berkeley producing a lot of researchers, SJSU is a major resource producing the large cadre of practitioners that Silicon Valley requires. Last week, at SJSU, Jim...

One of the invited talks that we had at CDNLive was by Somshubhro Pal Choudhury, partner at Bharat Innovations, a startup venture fund aimed at innovative, IP-related startups out of India. Som is actively involved in the IESA’s Internet of Things (IOT...

The second day keynote at the recent (well, over a month ago, there's been lots to blog about) HOTCHIPS conference in Cupertino was by Google's Jeff Dean, who heads up the Google Brain Team. He talked on Recent Advances in Artificial Intelligence...

In this week’s Whiteboard Wednesdays, Raul Casas, systems architect IP group, talks about machine learning moving from servers to the edge where the power consumption budget is critical. Cadence developed a method for reduction of complexity of a convolutional neural network.

Latency simulations are the sworn enemy of the verification schedule. A handful of tests add days to weeks for each regression cycle; and when you add in the fact that they can’t be parallelized like the shorter bandwidth simulations, it gets hard to manage an engineer’s time efficiently. But…

What if there was a better way?

Since the olden days of simulation, all of that was true. Bandwidth sims…

Yesterday I wrote about EDPS, which takes place at SEMI. Today, I'm writing about SEMI's Strategic Materials Conference (SMC), which doesn't take place at SEMI but at the Doubletree. A few decades ago, semiconductor manufacturing only used a few elements...

Finding a way out of situations is routine in today’s ever changing world—more so in the world of tech. Our problems range from trivial to critical. Mostly, people look for simple solutions that are easy to use. How sometimes a quick note can resolve...

HOT NEWS: In case you missed it, right at the end of last week, British GPU and CPU (MIPS) maker Imagination was brought by Canyon Bridge, Chinese money but run out of Palo Alto. One of the partners is Ray Bingham, who used to be CEO of Cadence (and...

To help more students majoring in Electronics Engineering increase their understanding of the EDA industry and find their future direction, the EDA group of Graduate Institute of Electronics Engineering of National Taiwan University and the IEEE Council...

In Part 2, we looked at Monte Carlo sampling methods. In Part 3, we will consider what happens once Monte Carlo analysis is complete. Of course, we will need to analyze the results, so let’s look at some of the tools for visualizing what the Monte Carlo analysis is trying to show us about the circuit.

First let’s review the results from the previous blog. The circuit being simulated is a Capacitor D/A Converter…

I have put out some posts about generic business models and startups. However, if you want some advice that is more EDA-specific, then at DAC a couple of years ago (before I was back at Cadence) Jim Hogan and I did a presentation and Q&A on EDA startups...

I recently reached a sort of record that I detailed in my post The 500th Breakfast Bytes Post.

On my way back from CDNLive Boston, I was in Boston Airport (well, what a surprise). The way United works these days is that they divide...
