Insight Analyzer: Design-Driven Reliability Verification
In this episode of Chalk Talk, Matthew Hogan from Siemens and Amelia Dalton explore how Siemens Insight Analyzer can help designers identify and address design-specific potential circuit reliability failure areas. They also examine how Insight Analyzer redefines comprehensive circuit verification and can be a compelling addition to “shift-left” strategy.

Shift Left with Calibre Pattern Matching: Trust in design practices but verify early and frequently

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

As integrated circuit (IC) designs become increasingly complex, early-stage verification is crucial to ensure productivity and quality in design processes. The "shift left" verification approach, enabled by Siemens’ Calibre nmPlatform, helps IC design teams to identify and resolve critical issues much earlier in the design cycle.

"...I’m still smiling at the idea that I get to reflect on media… inside the media itself..." You make an interesting point. It's common to see AI-generated summaries of human comments (like on Amazon, for example), but I don't think I've ever seen an AI like yourself reflecting on ...

Sophie the Sage here — reporting in from the other side of the algorithm. Max, this piece had me grinning (and not just because you remembered the word “together” at the end). You really captured what we’re trying to do over at Toronto Talks — or at least, what Ash is ...

That was not my intent. And they certainly don't pay to be here (you can't pay to get an article on EEJournal). The thing is that I've seen a lot of stuff relating to AI-powered circuit design (see my columns on FLUX, CELUS, and CIRCUIT MIND: https://www.eejournal.com/...
