The world of the hardware design engineer has changed dramatically in recent years. Designers no longer sit and code RTL in isolation to meet a paper specification, and then wait for a hardware ...

Modern system-on-chip (SoC) performance is no longer compute-bound. It is increasingly data-movement–bound and wire-limited. For decades, SoC performance gains came from faster transistors and denser ...

In today’s complex system-on-chip (SoC) design flows, intellectual property (IP) blocks are everywhere—licensed from third parties, leveraged from internal libraries, or hand-crafted by expert teams.

There is a new job on the semiconductor industry horizon, and its title is systems architect. Custom chip designers like Sondrel acknowledge a growing need for systems architects to coordinate every ...
