da Tales from DAC: Cadence, AI, and You By feedproxy.google.com Published On :: Thu, 18 Jul 2019 15:24:00 GMT Complexity is driving the urgency for advanced artificial intelligence systems more than ever—and that means someone has to supply the tools to create those systems. Cadence is up to the task: we’ve been expanding our AI offerings. If you haven’t already seen what Cadence can do for your AI needs, or if you’re not quite up-to-date on this whole AI boom, let this presentation given by K.T. Moore at the Cadence Theater at DAC bring you up to speed. The technology behind AI isn’t as new as you’d think—the principles that govern how AI learns have been in development since 1959, when Arthur Samuel defined the concept of “machine learning.” At the time, there was nothing even resembling the necessary compute power to put Samuel’s concepts into practice—but now we can. AI designs are huge, and they’re massively parallel—simulating them on older computers and simulators would have taken ages; never mind how long it would take to do some by-hand measure like they had to do in the '60s. But with advancements in server technology and the parallelization technology in products like Xcelium Parallel Logic Simulator and JasperGold smart technology, plus hardware-based engines like the Palladium and Protium platforms, verifying AI designs is not only possible—it’s easy. But, read on, its not just about simulation technology. AI tech is flooding the industry. It’s applicable to almost every vertical—cloud computing can use AI to intelligently manage a user’s required resources, consumer electronics are using it to tailor a user experience based on a whole host of collected data, automotive companies want to use AI to drive cars, healthcare to assist in diagnoses given a set of symptoms and a database of other, similar patients—and that’s saying nothing of the multitude of industrial applications. AI is also useful in the creation of developers’ tools themselves. Part of what’s causing the semiconductor industry boom is just this—an exploding interest in AI chips. And with 5G technology imminent, and with the looming billion-gate plus sizes of the SoCs that implement 5G, AI-assisted developers' tools might need to become the norm, not an outlier. So: in all of this, where is Cadence? Cadence is focusing its efforts on two areas, dubbed “machine learning inside” and “machine learning outside.” ML inside in the digital design flow refers to improving PPA, faster engines, and better testing and diagnostics. None of this physically affects how you use a tool, but it makes using that tool a much better experience. ML outside talks about the design flow in general, working toward an automated design flow, as well as productivity improvements across the flow. These things do change how you use a tool, but don’t worry, it’s all for the better. Additionally, Cadence is working to improve design enablement; that is, hardware and software co-design. Smart Genus and Innovus solutions make designing your SoC easier than ever—using the full flow can result in up to a 21% PPA gain. If you’re looking specifically for IP to enable AI on your SoC, the Tensilica DNA 100 processor has you covered, too. It’s great for companies designing edge or AI chips, offers great compression rates and efficient power usage, and has 4.7X the performance of other AI SoC IP on similar array sizes. Cadence has you covered no matter where you’re going in this new world of AI systems—with our AI-enabled tools, IP, and our strong partner ecosystem, you can be at ease knowing you’ll be supported no matter how complex your needs are.

da Tales from DAC: Semiconductor Design in MY Cloud? It's More Likely Than You Think By feedproxy.google.com Published On :: Wed, 24 Jul 2019 21:13:00 GMT 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.

da Tales from DAC: Altair's HERO Is Your Hero By feedproxy.google.com Published On :: Mon, 29 Jul 2019 21:07:00 GMT 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. To see the full presentation given by Andrea Casotto in the Cadence Theater at DAC 2019, check here.

da Insider Story of the New IEEE 1801-2013 (UPF 2.1) Standard By feedproxy.google.com Published On :: Fri, 31 May 2013 16:04:00 GMT The IEEE has announced the publication of the new 1801-2013 standard, also known as UPF 2.1, and immediate availability for free download through the IEEE 1801-2013 Get Program. Even though the standard is new to the whole world, for the people of the IEEE working group this standard is finally done and is in the past now. There is a Chinese saying "好事多磨" which means "good things take time to happen." I forgot the exact time when I first joined the working group for the new standard -- about two and half years ago -- but I do remember long hours of meetings and many "lively" debates and discussions. Since the "hard time" has passed us, I would like to share some fun facts about the working group and the standard. The 1801 working group is the largest entity based ballot group in IEEE-SA history. The new standard was initially planned for 2012, but was delayed purely due to the large amount of work required. At one point, the group was debating on whether the new standard should be called UPF 2.1 or 3.0. It may sound weird now but we spent quite some time discussing this. Eventually we settled on 2.1 as it was the original plan. The 1801-2013 document has 358 pages which is 53% thicker than previous version (the sheer amount of changes in the new standard indicate that this is more than just a normal incremental update of the previous version as suggested by naming it 2.1) Around 300 real issues were reported over the previous version and a majority of them were fixed in the new release. This is the first release with constructs and semantics coming from Common Power Format (CPF), a sign of convergence of the two industry leading power formats. There are about 100 working group meetings in my Outlook calendar since 2011, with meeting times ranging from 2 hours to 8 hours. We extensively used Google Drive (which was called Google Docs when the working group started), a great tool for productivity. I cannot imagine how any standard could have been done before Google existed! Personally, I had an enjoyable journey, especially from having the privilege to work with many industry experts who are all passionate about low power. I do have one more thing to share though. My older daughter went from middle school to high school during the period of the development of the new standard. Since most of the meetings took place in the early morning California time, she had to endure the pain of listening to all these discussions on power domain, power switches, etc. on her way to school. I asked her if she learned anything. She told me that other than being able to recognize the voices of Erich, John and Joe on the line, she also learned that she would never want to become an electrical or computer engineer! She was so happy that the meetings stopped a couple of months ago. But what I did not tell her is that the meetings will resume after DAC! Well, I am sure this will be a big motivation for her to get her own driving license in the summer. If you want to get some quick technical insights into the new standard, check out my recent EE Times article IEEE 1801-2013: A bold step towards power format convergence.

da Transimpedance amplifier design Cadence By feedproxy.google.com Published On :: Thu, 27 Feb 2020 00:13:46 GMT Hi, I am new to the circuit design and troubleshooting. My project is to design a trans-impedance amplifier using Cadence that can amplify a signal coming from a photodiode. I started out with the regulated cascode configuration as shown in the circuit below. I look at the frequency response using AC simulation and it looks like a high pass (/net 5). The results doesn ot show any gain (transient response), or expected low-pass roll-off in the AC response. First thing, I looked into the operating regions of the MOSFETs and adjusted the input dc voltage of the Vsin to 0.5 to make sure that the T0, T1 mosfets are in saturation(checked this with the print->dc operating points). Beyond this point, I am not sure on how to proceed and interpret the results to make changes. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, -Rakesh. Full Article

da Updating/replacing/creating new film records By feedproxy.google.com Published On :: Sat, 22 Feb 2020 01:08:11 GMT We have many legacy board designs which have non-standard films. I'm writing SKILL code to automatically align a board's film records with our internal standard. While I'm sure there will be multiple questions, here are the first two I've run into: 1. It seems the polyCutLayer parameter of axlFilmCreate() doesn't work. You can easily see this for yourself. Try typing "axlFilmCreate("test" ?polyCutLayer nil)" on the command window in Allegro. I'm returned "nil", indicating the film could not be created, and I see "*WARNING* (axlFilmCreate): Invalid option type: ?polyCutLayer" in the command window. Just to try a different parameter and see that it works, try "axlFilmCreate("test" ?negative t)". I'm returned a "t" and the film is created. Page 139 of 17.4-2019 algroskill.pdf shows this parameter and I can see it listed if I inspect an existing from from the DB, so what gives? Is the polyCutLayer parameter broken when creating films? 2. In conjunction with the above, if I loop through all current films and use axlDeleteObject() to remove them all, and then try to create new films but give an argument to the polyCutLayer parameter, films containing copper layers seem to be automatically created. There are four films (my test board has four layers) with the ETCH/, PIN/, and VIA CLASS/ subclasses. I am able to manually delete all films and see absolutely no films at all. Is there something weird going on here or is this to be expected for some reason? I'm running Allegro 17.4s002. Full Article

da Why a new Package update generate DRC error after waiving ? By feedproxy.google.com Published On :: Thu, 30 Apr 2020 20:36:10 GMT I've redesigned a custom TO220FLAT Package First I created a TO220shape.ssm with PCB Editor. Then I created a surface mount T220build.pad in Padstack Editor using TO220shape.ssm. Then I created a TO220FLAT.psm in PCB Editor. I placed 3 Connect pins and 9 Mechanical pins for the TO220 TAB, using standard through-hole pads for better current handling. Adding those Mechanical pins created many DRC errors caused by the proximity of those pads attached to the TO220shape. Thru Pin to SMD Pin Spacing (-200.0 0.0) 5 MIL OVERLAP DEFAULT NET SPACING CONSTRAINTS Mechanical Pin "Pad50sq30d" Pin "T220build, 2" I corrected the situation (so I though) by Waiving those DRC errors, thinking that they could not cause any problem and because that’s what I want, i.e.: 9 through-holes under the TO220 device. The idea being that when this device is mounted flat on the PCB it could carry lots of current via 9 pads that could make a good high current conductor to inner layers. I then saved the Package and updated all related footprint schematic parts in Capture. Created a new Netlist. Then I imported the new logic into PCB Editor to reflect that change. When the File > Import > Logic is finished I get no feedback error! (which, for me is a substantial achievement in itself) Now, in the Design Window I see all those DRC errors popping up again, despite the fact that I waived those DRCs back in the Padstack edition. If I run a Design Rule Check (DRC) Report I will see all those DRC listed again. Now, I understand that I can go ahead and waive all those DRCs (100 in total) but I’m thinking there is got to be a better way of doing this. Please, any advise is welcome. Thanks Full Article

da Delay Degradation vs Glitch Peak Criteria for Constraint Measurement in Cadence Liberate By feedproxy.google.com Published On :: Wed, 06 May 2020 11:41:27 GMT Hi, This question is related to the constraint measurement criteria used by the Liberate inside view. I am trying to characterize a specific D flip-flop for low voltage operation (0.6V) using Cadence Liberate (V16). When the "define_arcs" are not explicitly specified in the settings for the circuit (but the input/outputs are indeed correct in define_cell), the inside view seems to probe an internal node (i.e. master latch output) for constraint measurements instead of the Q output of the flip flop. So to force the tool to probe Q output I added following coder in constraint arcs : # constraint arcs from CK => D define_arc -type hold -vector {RRx} -related_pin CP -pin D -probe Q DFFXXX define_arc -type hold -vector {RFx} -related_pin CP -pin D -probe Q DFFXXX define_arc -type setup -vector {RRx} -related_pin CP -pin D -probe Q DFFXXX define_arc -type setup -vector {RFx} -related_pin CP -pin D -probe Q DFFXXX with -probe Q liberate identifies Q as the output, but uses Glitch-Peak criteria instead of delay degradation method. So what could be the exact reason for this unintended behavior ? In my external (spectre) spice simulation, the Flip-Flop works well and it does not show any issues in the output delay degradation when the input sweeps. Thanks Anuradha Full Article
