When The MathWorks introduced Matlab technical-computing software more than 20 years ago, many of the first users were control-system designers. Anyone who had laboriously inverted matrices by hand to ...

Computational models and simulations have had an important role in engineering analysis since as far back as the 1960s. It is widely recognized that the use of modeling and simulation tools can make ...

Design verification has been the biggest challenge for any IC design company for decades now. EDA tools and verification methods have evolved a lot over the last two decades, but along with that, the ...

Simulation lies at the heart of both verification and pre-silicon validation for every semiconductor development project. Finding functional or power problems in the bringup lab is much too late, ...

Clocking issues are one of the most common reasons for costly design re-spins. This has been the driving factor in the ever-increasing demand for Clock Domain Crossing (CDC) analysis tools. Today, the ...

Every product has defects. Finding them as early in the development process as possible is definitely something to strive for. Building quality into software as it's being developed is far more ...

Developing advanced semiconductor chips gets harder all the time, pushing electronic design automation (EDA) vendors to innovate in their tools and methodologies. They’re working constantly to improve ...
