From Wooden Boards to White Gloves: How FPGA Prototyping and Emulation Became Two Worlds of Verification… and How the Convergence Is Unfolding
FPGA prototyping and hardware emulation originated from two independent demands that emerged at roughly the same time, namely, the necessity to implement digital designs in reconfigurable hardware. This was conceivable given the newly introduced field programmable gate array (FPGA) device.
Yet from the very beginning they… Read More
Who’s Buying America’s Foundry Future?
Everyone has been treating Intel as a turnaround story. What if it’s not a scheduled airline — but a charter, and Musk is the one filing the flight plan? Not just Tesla. Companies like Microsoft, Google, Meta, and Oracle are all designing their own silicon now, and their AI infrastructure depends on it. And yet they remain dependent… Read More
CEO Interview with Dr. Hardik Kabaria of Vinci
Hardik Kabaria is the founder and CEO of Vinci, a frontier lab building systems that make physical reality continuously computable.
While software has become programmable, physics has remained episodic—accessed through discrete simulations and approximations. Vinci is changing that. Under Kabaria’s leadership, the company
When a Platform Provider Becomes a Competitor: Why Arm’s Silicon Strategy Changes the Incentives
Marc Evans, Director of Business Development & Marketing, Andes Technology USA
I work at a RISC-V IP company, and I genuinely root for Arm — probably more than most people in my position would admit. Not because I’m confused about who competes with whom, but because Arm’s best move for their shareholders is also… Read More
