Archived webinar - OpenPDK: What is the Goal of this Effort, and What is the Status?
The industry is calling for a "single source" for EDA enablement. Some solutions want to enforce a particular implementation of a PDK. But this forces the entire EDA industry to comply to the same format and, in most cases, retool to comply. The OpenPDK effort is very different. OpenPDK's goal is an implementation-free, single source for EDA enablement. OpenPDK members are seeking a means to define all of the necessary process information—design rules and device definitions—into a format that can be published once and used by all EDA vendors equally. Hear Cadence and Mentor discuss their views on the OpenPDK effort.

Archived webinar - How To Completely Eliminate SoC Connectivity Bugs (Really!)
Bugs from incorrect connectivity – whether they’re misconnected IP blocks inside an SoC or erroneous muxing of pad rings – can kill a chip as just easily as more sophisticated functional bugs. With internal connection points surpassing hundreds of thousands of nodes, the traditional approach of assigning detail-oriented summer interns to spot-check connectivity with some dynamic simulations is rapidly losing effectiveness. In this webinar, we’ll show you how to apply formal verification technology to exhaustively prove with 100% mathematical certainty that all of your SoC’s internal and external pad ring connections are completely correct.
