Academic Network – Cadence EMEA 


You have easy access to all content and resources related to EMEA, as well as the extensive company, product, solution, and services content on our corporate web site. Cadence EMEA is responsible for the Europe, Middle East and Africa region. Sales, Marketing and Services offices operate across EMEA to assist our customers in EMEA-based companies and organizations.
The Academic Network was launched by Cadence in 2007. The aim was to promote the proliferation of leading-edge technologies and methodologies at universities renowned for their engineering and design excellence. A knowledge network among selected universities, research institutes, industry advisors and Cadence was established to facilitate the sharing of technology expertise in the areas of verification, design and implementation of microelectronic systems.

The Academic Network became an integral part of the CDNLive EMEA. With the Academic Track, universities and industry members are offered a knowledge exchange platform in order to demonstrate scientific achievements, present ideas and establish further collaborations.

Cadence Academic Network institutions:
University of Bristol
Research activities are focused on specification, verification and analysis techniques which allow designers to define a design and to verify/explore its behaviour in terms of functional correctness, performance, power consumption and energy efficiency. Current research involves both formal methods and traditional simulation-based approaches. Recent projects include the Formalization and Formal Derivation of Instruction Set Architectures also applied to an industrial processor, Advanced Methods for Coverage-Directed Test Generation, the Design and Development of an Energy-Aware Computing Platform, Methods and Techniques to Achieve Whole Systems Energy Transparency and Advanced Verification Techniques for Autonomous Adaptive Systems.

University of Heidelberg
The research group focuses on SoC verification of large digital chips. By developing UVM based verification IP we create complex verification environments to simulate and test designs that are developed for the group’s research area of high speed interconnects. By utilizing modern verification methodologies and features such as formal verification and metric-driven verification it can be assured that designs will work even when running into rare corner cases.

Istanbul Technical University
Delft University of Technology
Our focus is on the implications of the device technology advances on the way we design, implement, and test digital circuits and systems. The mission can be formulated as design and build dependable/reliable systems out of unreliable components. Topics addressed are: VLSI test and design-for-testability (Memory, Logic, Fault Modeling and Simulation, BIST, BISR), dependable nano-computing (defect tolerance, fault-tolerance, nano-architectures, new computation paradigms), reliability, hardware security, etc.

FHNW University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland Institute of Microelectronics
Our ASIC designs and the education are focused to prepare for production designs. Therefore we specify testability early in the project phase, and we use DFT tools and "ad hoc test structures" in the digital and analog/digital-mixed ASICs – always with the goal of a high testability at reasonable test cost.
