Engineers were designing at the system level even before the invention of the transistor. But the focus on system-level design has become greater as design complexity has increased. Product ...

It was a shimmering promise on the horizon: As SOCs (systems on chips) became more complex, we would simply move from RTL (register-transfer level) to the next-higher level of abstraction—what some ...

EDA tool providers will serve as powerful allies for customers to develop and implement workflows, and to show them what’s possible. Siwinski: You’ll see collaboration in the ecosystem because no one ...

During system-level design, engineers must understand the whole system's performance at a high level to see if it meets the required specifications. To do this, they need to specify and evaluate ...

In this installment of "From Systems to Silicon," Frank Schirrmeister muses about vehicles that park themselves as you chat and how system-level design will approach their conception. General Motors ...

It is now practical to write software for real-time systems long before the actual computer hardware is sitting in a physical prototype. In today’s world it is rare to find electromechanical devices ...

Growing momentum for advanced packaging is shifting design from a die-centric focus toward integrated systems with multiple die, but it’s also straining some EDA tools and methodologies and creating ...

The project is to develop a system-level distributed sensing technique for the long-term monitoring of bridges (e.g., concrete and composite bridges), using fiber optic, video motion, and ...
