  • Porting EDA Applications To Multicore -- Part 2

    As noted in part one of this blog series, porting the Encounter Digital Implementation System (EDI) to multicore platforms was a challenging task. That’s no less true for Cadence’s efforts to parallelize the Virtuoso Spectre Circuit Simulator, although the challenges were somewhat different...

  • Porting EDA Applications To Multicore -- Part 1

    The EDA industry is gearing up for what may be its largest retooling ever – retrofitting or rewriting applications to run on next-generation multicore platforms. An inside look at how Cadence ported the Encounter Digital Implementation System (EDI) to parallel processing illustrates some of the...

  • Why Oracle Should Keep Sun's Chip Design Team

    When the news broke last week about Oracle’s intent to buy Sun Microsystems , my thoughts turned to the Sun design and verification engineers I’ve spoken to in recent years. Will Oracle, a newcomer to the world of EDA and chip design, keep that team? The outcome depends on two questions –...

  • A Glimpse Into The Future Of High-Level Synthesis

    High-level synthesis (HLS) is already in production use today, but other exciting and complementary new technologies and capabilities are coming in the future. Recently I talked with Michael “Mac” McNamara and Luciano Lavagno – both of whom are speaking at an April 24 DATE workshop...

  • TSMC Views R&D As Ticket Out Of Recession

    What do you do if your revenues decline nearly 60 percent in the space of two quarters? If you’re TSMC, you hire more R&D people, expand your focus beyond conventional SoCs, and work to innovate your way out of the recession. TSMC’s “can do” attitude was reflected Tuesday...

  • A Qualcomm Perspective on 3D ICs

    3D integration is a promising new technology that can potentially save space and power by stacking die in 3 dimensions. I recently spoke with Riko Radojcic, Qualcomm design lead for TSS (Through Silicon Stacking – Qualcomm’s term for 3D ICs), about how Qualcomm is deploying this technology...

  • Whatever Happened to Statistical Timing?

    Several years ago, there was a lot of publicity about statistical timing analysis, which was thought by some to be the “next big thing” in IC design. Then things got quiet. But as process nodes head into the 45 nm and below territory, statistical static timing analysis (SSTA) may once again...

  • Momentum Grows for IP Power Modeling Standard

    With no standard way to represent power consumption for silicon IP, early IC power estimation can be difficult. But help may be on the way, as the SPIRIT Consortium and its members, including Cadence, discuss possible approaches to IP power modeling. I first became aware of this problem at a seminar...

  • What Cadence Has Learned About SaaS

    Software as a Service (SaaS) for EDA applications has been a hot topic lately, but most of the discussion has been theoretical. Cadence Design Systems’ implementation of SaaS brings some practical experience to the discussion. Software as a Service is a concept in which applications are hosted...

  • High-Level Synthesis Expands Its Mission

    High-level synthesis (HLS) was originally used by consumer products companies who wanted to get to RTL really, really fast. But now its appeal is broadening, and HLS is serving other important purposes, including architectural exploration, faster verification, and IP reuse. First, let’s define...
