Development of a modern semiconductor requires running many electronic design automation (EDA) tools many times over the course of the project. Every stage, from architectural exploration and design ...

Debug consumes more time than any other aspect of the chip design and verification process, and it adds uncertainty and risk to semiconductor development because there are always lingering questions ...

In a huge software project for an embedded application, a function behaved in a strange fashion. A variable, which must not be changed while the function is executed, was changed. The function itself ...

I’ve always regarded debugging as the most difficult of engineering disciplines, whether it’s for still-on-the-bench prototypes or fielded products. It’s a hard skill to teach, takes a lot of ...

Google Director of Research and renowned artificial intelligence (AI) expert Peter Norvig, presented an entirely different side of AI and machine learning at the EmTech Digital conference. He compared ...

Here's a list of debugging tips and secrets from Li Mei, a character in Lisa Simone's nonfiction book on programming recounting the fictional adventures of a team of software developers working on ...

Simulation-based debug challenges arise when verifying the behavior of a power-managed SoC from the front-end design phase through the back-end implementation phase. We'd also like to recognize the ...
