Driven by the need to objectively measure the progress of their verification efforts and the contributions of different verification techniques, IC designers have adopted coverage as a metric. However ...

The semiconductor industry has greatly simplified analysis by consolidating around a small number of models and abstractions, but that capability is breaking down both at the implementation level and ...

Convergence issues are a frustrating deterrent to the use of simulation in analog and power electronics design, and in the four decades of SPICE, millions of engineers have suffered from the failed, ...

Simulating something is similar to modeling or making it into an example. Simulating the process of flying a plane is an example of a simulation when it is created through a computer program.

Simulations of quantum many-body systems are an important goal for nuclear and high-energy physics. Many-body problems involve systems that consist of many microscopic particles interacting at the ...

Many aspects of semiconductor design and verification have an ever-growing “need for speed” that has outpaced the performance improvements available by running on CPUs. Electronic design automation ...
