Are you still manually placing and routing standard cells, spending hours on repetitive tasks, and risking design inconsistencies? The VLANT4 Training Byte is here to change that.  

The Challenge

Standard cell layout design at advanced nodes demands precision, speed, and compliance with complex design rules. Manual layout methods often fall short, leading to longer design cycles and increased risk of errors.

The Soluti…

Ever tried to attend an online meeting, answer emails, run place and route, and keep a cat off your keyboard all at once? If so, congratulations—you're a multitasker! But as we all know, not all multitasking is created equal. In fact, some forms are so risky they should come with a warning label (looking at you, texting behind the…

Enhanced Reproducibility: Scripting captures the complete post-processing state, including probes and data settings, ensuring consistent and reproducible analysis results.

Launch Analysis with a Script: The post-processing process is initiated by running the `postrecord.py` script, which generates the necessary output and begins the analysis.

Reproduce Results with a File: The script generates a `results_analysis_state…

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…

As AI workloads grow in scale and complexity, networks are challenged to keep up. According to McKinsey & Company, global demand for data center capacity is projected to nearly triple by 2030, with AI workloads expected to account for approximately 70% of that increase. GPT-5 reportedly will have 17 trillion parameters, which would represent a 10X increase over GPT-4. In addition, in its "2024 United States Data Center…

The world of artificial intelligence is moving beyond the cloud and into our everyday devices from smart sensors to robotics and AR/VR headsets. One of the key components that enables this shift is a neural processing unit (NPU), also known as an AI accelerator, which is a specialized hardware designed to execute AI models. Optimized for neural network, deep learning, and machine learning tasks, NPUs handle the fundamental…

In the fast-paced world of Industry 4.0, quality assurance (QA) is no longer just about catching defects—it's about predicting them before they happen. AI-powered verification is transforming how engineering teams tackle QA, transforming scattered data into actionable insights.

Manufacturing defects are costly—not just in dollars, but in reputation. Yet, despite mountains of data from regression results, coverage…
