The latest posts on the EDA, IP and SoC Industries
The Design Automation Conference is back to its usual summer timeframe – again at the Moscone Center in San Francisco – with over one hundred exhibitors and a rich conference program that covers a wide range of topics including artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, RISC-V, security, embedded systems and more. Here we will briefly…
With a unified, standards-based approach to verification and Verification IP reusability, mutual customers can seamlessly transition between RISC-V processor and system level DV
Oxford, United Kingdom – July 7th, 2022 – Imperas Software Ltd., the leader in RISC-V simulation solutions, today announced a partnership with Breker Verification Systems, a leading…
RISC-V Architectural Validation test suites updated for the ratified extensions including Vectors, Crypto (scalar), Bit Manipulation, and the new addition of Embedded (E) extension
Oxford, United Kingdom – July 6th, 2022 – Imperas Software Ltd., the leader in RISC-V simulation solutions, today announced the latest RISC-V test suites and updates to the free …
I love computers (but only in a manly-man way, you understand). I’m not talking about the end-products that sit on our desks, hang out in our pockets, or lurk around us as we meander our way through the world, although I’m certainly fond of these little rascals—I’m much more interested in their “brains” in the form of their processing units where all the decision-making and number-crunching takes placel….

Heterogeneous designs and AI/ML processing expose the limitations of existing methodologies and tools.
Defining what a processor is, and what it is supposed to do, is not always as easy as it sounds. In fact, companies are struggling with the implications of hundreds of heterogenous processing elements crammed into a single chip or package. Companies have extensive verification methodologies, but not for validation. Verification is a…
The RISC-V Pavilion at Embedded World 2022 highlighted a range of advancements, from the first RISC-V–based GPU to a new open-source RISC-V development kit.
Embedded World 2022 was the place to be for the latest RISC-V developments. Innovations ranged from Think Silicon’s first RISC-V–based GPU, targeting 32-bit SoCs, to the OpenHW Group’s new open-source RISC-V development kit, based on the OpenHW CORE-V…
It may not be the most glamorous type of software development, but getting it right is essential for the success of any hardware platform.
Hardware and software are two sides of the same coin, but they often live in different worlds. In the past, hardware and software rarely were designed together, and many companies and products failed because the total solution was unable to deliver.
The big question is…
Challenges are changing for engineering teams, and they are crossing traditional boundaries.
Chip reliability is coming under much tighter scrutiny as IC-driven systems take on increasingly critical and complex roles. So whether it’s a stray alpha particle that flips a memory bit, or some long-dormant software bugs or latent hardware defects that suddenly cause problems, it’s now up to the chip industry to prevent these problems in the first place, and…
Efficient Trace, Supervisor Binary Interface, Unified Extensible Firmware Interface, and Zmmul Multiply-Only Extension Accelerate Embedded- and Large-System Design.
Nuremberg, Germany – June 21, 2022 – RISC-V International, the global open-design standards pioneer, announced its first four specification and extension approvals of 2022 – Efficient…
