[POV: Point Of View] Use Algorithmic Synthesis To Solve Your FPGA Prototyping And Design Issues
Algorithmic synthesis—the efficient implementation of algorithms in silicon—offers compelling value to both system-on-a-chip (SoC) and FPGA design teams. However, there are subtle but important differences in the teams’ requirements when using algorithmic synthesis tools. This is especially true for FPGAs, which can be designed as just one in a series of steps to creating an SoC or as production-ready devices.

December 1, 2008[Technology Report] In EDA, A Year Of Mergers, Failed And Otherwise
For the EDA industry, 2008 was dominated not so much by technology breakthroughs but rather by corporate intrigue. Cadence Design Systems’ attempt to take over Mentor Graphics had the electronics industry at large holding its collective breath for a few months. In the wake of the effort’s failure, one need only look at the subsequent ouster of most of Cadence’s senior management, including CEO Mike Fister, to know how profound the failure was. ...

November 17, 2008[TechView: EDA] Custom Sources Light Way To 22-nm IC Lithography
Concern is rising about the ability of today’s microlithography equipment to scale below 45-nm design rules and still print with acceptable fidelity. There are different schools of thought on how best to meet this challenge—some more hardwarecentric, others more software-centric, and still others combining elements of both. Thus, there has been a spate of announcements of late in this arena (see “IBM And Mentor Graphics Team Up On 22-nm Computational ...
