If I’ve heard it once I’ve heard it a thousand times: Documentation is the least favorite part of engineering. But it also may be one of the most important and is growing to be more so. This was made ...

People often confuse the purpose and role of functional specifications and design documents. Design and function should never meet in a document. Design and function must be documented during the ...

HVAC product selection is not as easy as it sometimes seems. For sure, the key part of engineering is the KIS principle (Keep It Simple). However, the KID principle (Keep It Defendable) is even more ...

The huge undertaking of verifying a system-on-chip (SoC) design has challenged engineers for more than 20 years –– the amount of time spent on it hasn’t varied much from between 50-70% of the entire ...

In today's enterprise landscape, software development often resembles a game of telephone. Business users articulate needs, and—after those needs go through layers of marketing, product and ...

Engaging with an ASIC development partner can take many forms. The intended chip may be as simple as a microcontroller, as sophisticated as an AI-based edge computing system-on-chip (SoC), or even a ...

A technical paper titled “AssertLLM: Generating and Evaluating Hardware Verification Assertions from Design Specifications via Multi-LLMs” was published by researchers at Hong Kong University of ...
