Translation tool tackles optimisation in large SoCs
Designers looking to optimise PPA (power, performance, area) are finding that optimisation engines can render original programmatic timing constraints unusable in their original form. At DAC 2025, Ausdia introduced Timevision OneSource which automatically generates a new version of block-level constraints after optimisation engines have worked on hierarchies, duplicate elements and performed advanced transformation. Such optimisations can save two weeks of ...
Switch fabric scales up data movement for AI
San Francisco: At last year’s DAC, Baya Systems emerged from stealth mode. At this year’s event, the design software company announced a switch fabric technology that is claimed to enable a x100 increase in node density. NeuraScale is designed to overcome critical scaling and data movement challenges in AI infrastructure that are driving advanced SoCs and emerging 3D chiplet-based designs, ...
Agentic AI platform automates three stages of design
All three stages of chip design will be automated and accelerated, says Moores Lab AI, which has introduced four design tools using agentic AI. Agentic AI is one of the buzzwords at this year’s DAC in San Francisco. Whereas generative AI generates content, agentic AI is an automation process. It autonomously makes and acts on decisions with little human intervention. ...
