Digital Design: Resolve Congestion and Physical Design Challenges Using Cadence Support and RAKs

Vinod Khera

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…

Breakfast Bytes: The IBM 801, the RISC You've Never Heard of

Paul McLellan

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 RISCs 1 to 4?". In fact, ther...

Computational Fluid Dynamics: 'Tweak' Your Grid! That's All It Needs

Veena Parthan

'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.

Breakfast Bytes: When AI Rules the World, by Handel Jones

Paul McLellan

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...

Computational Fluid Dynamics: On-Demand Webinar - Simulation of Hydraulic Turbines with Fidelity CFD

AnneMarie CFD

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.

Breakfast Bytes: Bluetoooth LE Audio, Hearing Aids, and Mindtree

Paul McLellan

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...

Breakfast Bytes: RISC-V Tutorial

Paul McLellan

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...

Computational Fluid Dynamics: Fidelity Pointwise Remedy Drawbacks Working with Analytic and Discrete Geometry Types

Veena Parthan

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.
