The series looks at the progression of hardware emulation from the early days to far into the new millennium. The series looks at the progression of hardware emulation from the early days to far into ...

The EDA industry has evolved into a case study on specialization. This was not true in the early days, when the MDV (Mentor, Daisy, Valid) trio dashed onto the world stage. All three were one-stop ...

My [LR’s] first exposure to hardware emulation happened circa 1995 upon visiting a major processor firm in Austin, Texas. Its lab was jam-packed from floor to ceiling with monstrous hardware emulators ...

Despite the third adjustment to Moore’s Law, which now sets the doubling of transistors in an integrated circuit to about two years, the march continues on toward larger and larger designs/devices.

Datacenters, cloud computing, the IoT, and all things electronic demand that huge amounts of data and information are stored securely and accessible anywhere at any time. This requirement is driving ...

It has been proposed for some time that virtual platforms could be linked to emulation hardware in order to co-verify the software and hardware components of an SoC. However, that proposal now has ...

When it comes to retro gaming, it can be hard to get your hands on original hardware. Even if you can, most retro consoles don’t jive with modern televisions, so the experience will be noticeably ...
