Thomas Zunie, a junior from Zuni, New Mexico qualified today for the 2012 NAIA Outdoor Track and Field National Championships to be held the last week of May on the campus of Indiana Wesleyan University.   

Haskell Track and Field is finally back …. Approximately four years ago the Haskell Track and Field Program was put on hold.  A couple of years later the distance portion of Track and Field returned.  In 2011-2012, Haskell opened up the Indoor and Outdoor Seasons to include the addition of sprints, mid-distance, and throws.  Yesterday at the Emporia State Twilight Meet the Indians added long jump, triple jump, and a relay team to the track and field mix. 

NCAA Division II, Emporia State University served as the 2^ndmeet of the Outdoor Track and Field season for the Indians.  Highlights from the meet include:

Ian Stand, a sophomore from Bay Point, California returned to the discus ring and completed a toss of 36.52 meters, an improvement from his first meet.  Stand, also earned a seventh place finish in the shot put with a distance of 10.76 meters. 

Two Haskell men finish fourth, while one Indian woman places sixth

Christina Belone, Talisa Budder and Matt Woody compete in the 85^th edition of the annual event

Thomas Zunie, a junior from Zuni, NM takes first in the Men's 5000 meter run in a time of 17:21.41.  Zunie's finish in the 5000 garnered him a First Team All-Conference.  Zunie also earned a third place in the 1500 meter run with a time of 4:33.77.   

Billy Mills (Track & Field) 1953-57
Mills grew up on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation for the Oglala Lakota Tribe in Pine Ridge, S.D. Growing up Mills participated in boxing and running but did not hone his skills on the track until he came to Lawrence, Kan., and Haskell Institute. Following his time at Haskell, the South Dakota native went onto star at the University of Kansas, where he was a three-time All-American and a Big 8 champion. Aside from his collegiate prowess, Mills did exceptionally well on the international stage, winning Gold in the 10,000 meters during the 1964 Olympics in Tokyo, where he became only the second Native American to capture Gold. The heralded Olympian continued to run after his Tokyo experience, breaking U.S. records in two events (10,000 meters and three mile run), as well as a world record in the six mile. Mills currently lives in Sacramento, Calif., where he is a spokesperson for ‘Running Strong for American Indian Youth' organization. He is also a member of numerous Hall of Fames throughout the nation, including the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame as well as the National Distance Running Hall of Fame.

Last week the weather disrupted the Indians as they opened the Outdoor Season at Pittsburg State University.  Thunderstorms and lightning prevented numerous races and events from running on schedule.  For many, the meet yesterday was their opportunity to finally compete.

Haskell will play host to the 2014 Midlands Collegiate Athletic Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championships on April 25th and 26th. 

Baldwin City, Kansas - The Haskell Indian Nations University men's track and field teams competed at the Baker Relays on Saturday.

Ottawa, Kansas - The Haskell Indian Nations University Men's track and field teams competed at the Ottawa Braves Invitational on Saturday.

Liberty, MO - The Haskell Indian Nations University Men's track and field teams competed at the Darrel Gourley Open on Saturday.

The Men's Track & Field team finished their season at Baker Invite on April 29th. Here are some of the athlete's best finishes throughout the season. The Seniors behind the Track & Field program are Isaac Johnson and Stephen Esmond (SR). 

Final Score: 71-53

PCI-SIG DevCon 2019 APAC tour has come to Tokyo and Taipei this year. The focus is predominantly around the latest updates for PCIe Gen 5 which its version 1.0 specification was just released this year in May.  A series of presentations provided by PCI-SIG on the day 1 with comprehensive information covering all aspects of Gen 5 specification, including protocol, logical, electrical, compliance updates. On the day 2 (only in Taipei), several member companies shared their view on Testing, PCB analysis and Signal integrity. The exhibit is also another spotlight of this event where the member companies showcased their latest PCIe solutions.

Presentation Track (Taipei), Exhibit (Tokyo), Exhibit (Taipei) 

Cadence, as the market leading PCIe IP vendor, participated APAC tour this year with bringing in its latest PCIe IP solution offering (Gen 5/4) to the region as well as showcasing two live demo setups in the exhibit floor. One setup is the PCIe software development kit (SDK) while the other is the Interop/compliance/debug platform. Both come with the Cadence PCIe Gen 4 hardware setup and its corresponding software kit.

The SDK can be used for Device Driver Development, Firmware Development, and for pre-silicon emulation as well. It supports Xtensa and ARM processor with Linux OS and it also equip with Ethernet interface which can be used for remote debugging. It also supports PCIe stress tests for Speed change, link enable/disable, entry/exist for lower power states, …etc. 

Cadence PCIe 4.0 Software Development Kit

The “System Interop/Compliance/Debug platform” was set up to test with multiple endpoint and System platforms. This system come with integrated Cadence software for basic system debug without the need for analyzer to perform the analysis, such as LTSSM History, TS1/TS2 transmitted/received with time stamp, Link training phases, Capturing Packet errors details, Capturing PHY TX/RX internal state machine details, ...etc.

Cadence PCIe System Interop/Compliance/Debug Platform

The year 2019 is certainly a "fruitful year" for the PCIe as more Gen 4 products are now available in the market, Gen 5 v1.0 specification got officially ratified, and PCI-SIG's revealing of Gen 6 specification development. We were glad to be part of this APAC tour with the chance to further introduce Cadence’s complete and comprehensive PCIe IP solution.

See you all next year in APAC again!

Is there a better approach to varying the coefficients of a digital IIR over time to adjust the values of its poles and zeros than just recalculating the whole thing every time it changes? For example, lots of synth programs can apply an LFO to the cutoff frequency of a low/high pass filter. I can do some polynomial multiplication to get the coefficients for an IIR filter given its poles and zeros, but am wondering if there is a better way to adjust them over time than simply doing all the calculations over again for new poles/zeros. Particularly, I'm curious if there is a method that will more or less work for an arbitrary number of poles and zeros. You could use a filter implementation (state space) that directly uses the pole/zero values instead of a polynomial walmartone. That might be computationally more expensive, though (as you are taking a trip through the domain of complex numbers even though your inputs and output are real), and possibly numerically iffy.As far as I am aware, modifying filter behavior while introducing as few artefacts as possible is still an area of research. You might get away with just adjusting the filter coefficients if you do it slowly, but this does not mean this is the best method.In an audio application, I assume they do not switch filter coefficients abruptly, but instead do a cross-fade between the (settled) first filter and the (mostly or completely settled) target filter to avoid audible artefacts.

Are they basically the same thing? I am trying to get as much experience with Allegro since a lot of jobs I am looking at right now are asking for Cadence Allegro experience (I wish they asked for Altium experience...). I currently have access to PCB Editor, but I don't want to commit to learning Editor if Allegro is completely different. Also walmart one, are the Cadence Allegro courses worth it? I won't be paying for it and if it's worth it, I figure I might as well use the opportunity to say I know how to use two complex CAD tools.

Hi,

I recently encountered a probelm where scrolling with the mouse wheel and [i][o] button does not zoom in or out both in "Allegro orcad capture CIS 17.2.2016 " .

When I scroll the mouse wheel or [i][o] button, nothing is done.

The thing is that it worked fine until yesterday.

Anyone has an idea?

Thanks,

Dung.

The following is valid SystemVerilog:

module mmio
#(parameter PORTS=2,
parameter ADDR_WIDTH=30)
(input logic[ADDR_WIDTH-1:0] addr[PORTS],
output logic ben[PORTS], // Bus enable
output logic men[PORTS]); // Memory enable

always_comb begin
for(int i = 0; i < PORTS; i++) begin
ben[i] = addr[i] >= 'h20080004 && addr[i] < 'h200c0000;
men[i] = ~ben[i];
end
end

endmodule : mmio

And if you instantiate it:

mmio #(1, 30) MMIO(.addr('{scalar_addr}),
.ben('{ben}),
.men('{men}));

Everyone keeps talking about “the cloud” this and “the cloud” that these days—but you’re a semiconductor designer. Everyone keeps saying “the cloud” is revolutionizing all aspects of electronics design—but what does it mean for you? Cadence's own Tom Hackett discussed this in a presentation at the Cadence Theater during DAC 2019.

What people refer to as “the cloud” is commonly divided into three categories: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and software as a Service (SaaS). With IaaS, you bring your own software—i.e. loading your owned or appropriately licensed tools onto cloud hardware that you rent by the minute. This service is available from providers like Google Cloud Platform, Amazon Web Service, and Microsoft Azure. In PaaS (also available from the major cloud providers), you create your own offering using capabilities and a software design environment provided by the cloud vendor that makes subsequent scaling and distribution really easy because the service was “born in the cloud”.  Lastly, there’s SaaS, where the cloud is used to access and manage functionality and data without requiring users to set up or manage any of the underlying infrastructure used to provide it.  SaaS companies like Workday and Salesforce deliver their value in this manner.  The Cadence Cloud portfolio makes use of both IaaS and SaaS, depending on the customers’ interest.  Cadence doesn’t have PaaS offerings because our customers don’t create their own EDA software from building blocks that Cadence provides.

All of these designations are great, but you’re a semiconductor designer. Presumably you use Workday or some similar software, or have in the past when you were an intern, but what about all of your tools? Those aren’t on the cloud.

Wait—actually, they are.

Using EDA tools in the cloud allows you to address complexity and data explosion issues you would have to simply struggle through before. Since you don’t have to worry about having the compute-power on-site, you can use way more power than you could before. You may be wary about this new generation of cloud-based tools, but don’t worry: the old rules of cloud computing no longer apply. Cloud capacity is far larger than it used to be, and it’s more secure. Updates to scheduling software means that resource competition isn’t as big of a deal anymore. Clouds today have nearly unlimited capacity—they’re so large that you don’t ever need to worry about running out of space.

The vast increase in raw compute available to designers through the cloud makes something like automotive functional safety verification, previously an extremely long verification task, doable in a reasonable time frame. With the cloud, it’s easy to scale the amount of compute you’re using to fit your task—whether it’s an automotive functional safety-related design or a small one.

Nowadays, the Cadence Cloud Portfolio brings you the best and brightest in cloud technology. No matter what your use case is, the Cadence Cloud Portfolio has a solution that works for you. You can even access the Palladium Cloud, allowing you to try out the benefits of an accelerator without having to buy one.

Cloud computing is the future of EDA. See the future here.

Emulators are great. They vastly speed up verification to the point where it’s hard to imagine life without them; as designs grow in complexity, simple simulation can’t keep up for the biggest designs. The extra oomph from emulation is almost a necessity for the top percentages of design sizes. However, many users of Palladium aren’t efficiently using their unit’s processing power, and as a result they’re missing out on the full speed-up potential that Palladium can provide.

Altair’s HERO is here for you. With its help, your Palladium unit can be even more amazing for your productivity than before.

HERO (that’s Hardware Emulator Resource Optimizer) adds emulator support to Altair’s Accelerator. You already know and love Altair’s scheduling tools; so why not make them do more for you, so you can be one of those people who are making the most out of their Palladium system?

Emulators are kind of like big computers, but it’s a lot harder to manage leftover resources on an emulator than it is on, say, a CPU. A scheduler like HERO neatly sidesteps this problem by more intelligently using the resources available to ensure that there’s a minimal patchwork of leftover resources to begin with.

HERO supports past generations of Palladium as well, so if you’re still using an older version, you can still take advantage of the upgrades HERO provides. There’s a wide variety of features HERO has that make your emulator easier to use. HERO separates a job into a “select” section and a “run” section: the “select” part makes a last-minute decision on which domains or boards to use, while the “run” part is the actual job. This makes it easier to ensure that your Palladium emulator is being used as efficiently as possible. Jobs are placed using “shapes”, which are a set of job types; these can be selected from a list of pre-defined ones by the user. Shapes can have special constraints if those are needed.

A new reservation system also helps HERO organize Palladium’s processing power better. HERO offers both “hard” reservations and “soft” reservations. A hard reservation locks other users out of reserving any part of the emulator at all, while a soft reservation allows a user to reserve a part of the emulator for a later use. Think of it like this: a soft reservation is like grabbing a ticket from the deli counter, while a hard reservation stops you from ever entering the market.

When using HERO, you can manage your entire verification workload. You’ll find that your utilization of your emulator vastly increases—it’s been reported that some users using only 30% of the capabilities of their Palladium unit(s) saw a massive increase to over 90% once they made the switch to HERO.

If you’re ready to take your Palladium productivity to the next level, Altair has a HERO for you.

Cadence Spectre Version -- 17.10.515

I have a very simple circuit. Please find attached. It is basically a resistor across a port. I run a S-param simulation and can plot the S-params, but unfortunately not the Z-param or Y-param.

Can anyone point me in the correct direction to sort out this problem? The zpm does work in another design environment, but not in the new design environment (a new project). The virtuoso and the cadence-spectre versions match in both the project environments. I am at a loss at what to look for. 

Hi , 

I am sharing with you some simple skill script that draw line in user layer :

axlCmdRegister("DrawLine" 'DrawLine)
procedure(DrawLine()
   layer_name = "substrate geometry/userlayer"
   mypopup = axlUIPopupDefine(nil '(
      ("Done" "axlDBTransactionCommit(mark), axlFinishEnterFun()")
      ("Oops" "axlDBTransactionOops(mark), when(zerop(--oopsNum)")
      ("Cancel" "axlDBTransactionRollback(mark), axlCancelEnterFun()")
      ("MENU_SEPARATOR", nil)))
   axlUIPopupSet( mypopup)
   ; Clear the dynamic buffer
   axlClearDynamics()

   if(axlLayerGet(layer_name) != nil then
      if(axlIsVisibleLayer(layer_name) == nil then
         axlVisibleLayer(layer_name,t)
         axlVisibleUpdate(t)
      );End if
   else
      if(axlLayerGet("substrate geometry") == nil then
         layer_name = "board geometry/userlayer"
         axlLayerCreateNonConductor(layer_name)
         axlVisibleLayer(layer_name,t)
         axlVisibleUpdate(t)
      else
         axlLayerCreateNonConductor(layer_name)
         axlVisibleLayer(layer_name,t)
         axlVisibleUpdate(t)
      );End if
   );End if

   mypath = nil
   mark = axlDBTransactionStart()
   flag = t
   allP = list(nil)
   seg1 = nil
   seg2 = nil
   while( (mypath = axlEnterPath(?lastPath mypath))
      if(flag == t then
         p = axlDBCreatePath(mypath, layer_name)
         seg1 = car(car(car(p))->segments)
         seg2 = car(cdr(car(car(p))->segments))
         path = axlPathStart( list(car(seg1->startEnd)) , 0)
         axlPathLine( path , 0 , car(cdr(seg1->startEnd)))
         if(seg2 then
            axlPathLine( path , 0 , car(cdr(seg2->startEnd)))

Is anyone can help to understand why this script can work with 16.5/16.6/17.2 and doesn't work with 17.4 ?

To be more informative in 17.4 this script behaves differently , when i am trying to draw line i can't zoom in/out ,i can't use my shortcuts to snap it on segment/middle/edge , it's like it's waiting only for next X/Y user click , all other functions just disabled .

Thanks .

I have a problem connected with my AXI4 coverage.

I enable coverage collection in AXI4 

      set_config_int("axi4_active_slave_agent_0.monitor.coverModel", "burst_started_enable", 1);
      set_config_int("axi4_active_slave_agent_0.monitor.coverModel", "coverageEnable", 1);

but i don't have a result.

I think the problem in Callback, but i try to connect all callback and i don't have positive result.

Can you help me?

Hi,

I am facing this elaboration error when using Xcelium:

Command>

    xmverilog -v200x +access+r +xm64bit -f vlist -reflib plib -timescale 1ns/1ps

Log>

    xmelab: *E,CUVMUR (<name>.v,538|18): instance 'LUTP0.C GLAT3' of design unit 'tlatntscad12' is unresolved in 'worklib.LUTP0:v'.

I guess the plib was not referred to as the simulation configuration because the tlatntscad12 is included in plib.

The plib is compiled by INCISIVE 13.20 and I am using the Xcelium 19.30.

Please tell me the correct command on how to refer to the library directory compiled by different versions.

Thank you,
