The future of chip design in a few short years could look entirely different as the semiconductor industry witnesses an advancing trend toward free and flexible, community-supported hardware designs ...

MIT physicists have created a new and long-lasting magnetic state in a material, using only light. In a study that appears in Nature, the researchers report using a terahertz laser—a light ...

Chinese researchers have developed a new material that could yield near-infinite lifespan memory storage chips. Made using a new type of ferroelectric material, this discovery could open the door ...

The agent can then take care of specific tasks in chip design, such as testing whether a circuit design works as intended. Over time, Synopsys envisions the agents helping coordinate the design of ...

The CHAIN NoC combines the architectural benefits of a networking approach over a conventional bus hieraarchy, with the timing closure and power-management benefits of self-timed design. The result is ...
