Solido Launches Machine Learning Characterization Suite

San Jose, CA – April 6, 2017 – Solido Design Automation, a leading provider of variation-aware design and characterization software, today announced the immediate release of its Machine Learning (ML) Characterization Suite. This new product uses machine learning to significantly reduce standard cell, memory, and I/O characterization time, helping semiconductor

Hierarchical Sequences in UVM

Rising design complexity is leading to near exponential increase in verification efforts. The industry has embraced verification reuse by adopting UVM, deploying VIPs and plugging block level env components at sub system or SoC level. According to a verification study conducted by Wilson research in 2012 (commissioned by Mentor) the engineers spend ~60%

ASIC Verification: Build or Simulate?

Companies are using FPGAs for the variety of benefits they offer, including:
 

Rapid-prototyping
Running large sets of test data
Software development

 
The advantages of using FPGAs for verification include:
 

Smaller, less complex designs can be verified solely by building them in an FPGA

The History of the Integrated Circuit

The integrated circuit, sometimes called a ASIC, IC, or just a chip, is a series of transistors placed on a small, flat piece that is usually made of silicon. The IC is really a platform for small transistors that a small chip which can operate faster than old-fashioned large transistors
