Chip Debug, PCIe 5.0, and AI Trends for 2022: The Synopsys January Blog Roundup
By: Editorial Team
We’re looking back on some of our top blogs for the month of January. While chips are getting smaller, ideas are getting bigger and accelerating innovation at a rapid pace.
Dive deeper for valuable insights from our experts on advancing the automotive industry, improving the chip debug process, key tech trends for 2022, and more.
From LED lighting to autonomous driving, the automotive industry is undergoing some major changes. Both the implementation of digital twins and artificial intelligence (AI) have allowed automakers to forge a new path in the development of both hardware and software automotive applications. Ron DiGiuseppe, automotive IP segment manager in the Solutions Group, highlights the valuable collaboration between Synopsys and Infineon that is supporting vehicle virtualization for accelerated automotive electronic system development and optimized AI processing.
2. AI’s Next Act: 5 Key Applications and Trends to Watch for in 2022
In the last year, AI has exploded onto the semiconductor scene with advancements in the development of edge AI, data center modernization, and more. But further innovation in this space hinges upon faster computations, more intelligence at the edge, processing larger data volumes effectively, and automating more functions. Stelios Diamantidis, senior director of the AI Strategy & Solutions group in the Office of the COO, explores what 2022 has in store for AI, delving into AIoT, and AI’s impact on chip design.
3. How Do You Solve the Chip Debug Challenge in Verification?
The chip debug process can be an arduous and unpredictable step of the verification process. That’s why it’s imperative that chip designers find and fix bugs earlier by enhancing the debug process through accuracy, speed, and exhaustive coverage. Taruna Reddy, senior product marketing manager, and Swami Venkat, senior strategic program director in the Silicon Realization Group, examine how automating labor-intensive tasks can provide comprehensive coverage, reduced debug time, and ease of use for today’s complex SoCs.
4. The Future of High-Performance Computing (HPC): Key Predictions for 2022
The “new normal” has arrived and our world has become more virtually connected than ever through advanced ways of working, learning, and even social interaction. As a result, the HPC market has had to evolve with industries requiring more interconnected silicon architectures as well as high-speed networking. In this post, Synopsys experts provide insights on their top predictions on which new markets HPC will enter this year, the increasing importance of security, and the evolving architecture that will support HPC applications.
5. The PCI Express 5.0 Superhighway Is Wide, Fast, and Ready for Your Designs
Product marketing managers in the Solutions Group, Gary Ruggles and Priyank Shukla, dive into the intricacies of PCIe 5.0, the latest generation in the PCI Express. While there is a high risk/reward tradeoff, PCIe 5.0 has multiple indicators of success that, when implemented correctly, add up to maximum throughput and security, minimum latency, and minimum power in a small area. With PCIe 6.0 on the horizon, chip designers are gearing up for a new age of application complexity and speed.
