The Race For Better Computational Software

▤ Summary

Cadence’s president, Anirudh Devgan, looks at big shifts toward hardware-driven verification and simulation and the impact of AI on the whole design process. We have a big investment in system analysis and Green Hills for embedded software. SE: There is also a move toward different ways of achieving the same benefits as hardware density through things like pattern recognition rather than individual bits, and reading memories in multiple directions. SE: We’ve been hearing about a lot more respins, despite better simulations, and an increasing emphasis on reliability in automotive and eventually medical. If you do a design and you get some PPA, that’s great, but you can run tools for another year and still not catch all the bugs.
