As today’s designs become more complex, so too do their constraints. Design functionality typically gets a lot of attention – through code review, functional verification, etc. However, the ...

Today’s FPGAs are larger and more complex than ever, and defining and applying correct design constraints is one of the biggest challenges. When the design fails to meet the timing performance ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Dev is the CEO of Jump, the strategy firm for future-focused leaders. Recently, reports began circulating that Nvidia was ...

Recent studies have developed fundamental limitations on nanoscale thermodynamics, in terms of a set of independent free energy relations. Here we show that free energy relations cannot properly ...

The theory of constraints, developed by Dr. Eliyahu Moshe Goldratt in the 1980s, identifies factors preventing your company from reaching its goals. The theory measures operational performance in key ...

It is easy to assume that an artist is most creative when most free of constraints, but it is the other way around. The more constraints, the higher the order of thought needed to overcome them.

Signoff of a system on chip (SoC) or IP design has multiple aspects, but often timing closure is the most challenging. Early use of a static timing analysis (STA) tool is clearly important, and such a ...

constraint satisfaction problems, or CSPs for short, are a flexible approach to searching that have proven useful in many AI-style problems CSPs can be used to solve problems such as graph-coloring: ...
