Driven by the need to objectively measure the progress of their verification efforts and the contributions of different verification techniques, IC designers have adopted coverage as a metric. However ...

The semiconductor industry has greatly simplified analysis by consolidating around a small number of models and abstractions, but that capability is breaking down both at the implementation level and ...

Today’s 3D integrated circuit (3D-IC) technology is the culmination of 40 years of research in universities and laboratories scattered across the globe. Beginning with dynamic random-access memory ...

Two weeks ago, D-Wave System announced a scientific breakthrough using their quantum annealing computers systems. They published in the esteemed journal @ScienceMagazine. Their newest annealing ...

The attention the major test and measurement companies paid to comparison of simulation and measurement caught my attention at this year’s PCI-SIG (Peripheral Component Interface-Special Interest ...

A novel parallel computing framework for chemical process simulation has been proposed by researchers from the East China University of Science and Technology and the University of Sheffield. This ...

The Monte Carlo simulation estimates the probability of different outcomes in a process that cannot easily be predicted because of the potential for random variables.
