Many engineering challenges come down to the same headache—too many knobs to turn and too few chances to test them. Whether tuning a power grid or designing a safer vehicle, each evaluation can be ...

The implementation flow for semiconductor devices is all about optimizing for power, performance, area (PPA), or some combination of these attributes. The history of this flow in electronic design ...

The semiconductor industry has been applying AI to accelerate chip design for over three years, achieving 10X productivity gains and focusing primarily on tasks that now seem relatively easy, such as ...

Design as strategy—it’s effective at shaping systems and crafting end products.

Why has analog design been a manual process? How artificial intelligence is improving the EDA process. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) has gained significant traction in many domains of EDA, ...

Conventional quantum algorithms are not feasible for solving combinatorial optimization problems (COPs) with constraints in the operation time of quantum computers. To address this issue, researchers ...

LUCIEN ANDRÉ SCHMIT JR., widely recognized as the father of modern structural optimization and multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO), died March 16, 2018, at the age of 89. He was born May 5, ...
