The semiconductor industry has undergone a major transformation in the last few years. There was once a time when only well-established industry heavyweights could design and build bleeding-edge chips. Advances in packaging technologies and chiplets, however, along with the infusion of AI into electronic design automation (EDA) tools, compounded by the ever-increasing demand for more compute in a multitude of industries, has spurred a massive influx of bespoke silicon. Today, startups with only a handful of engineers can design their own chips, with a fraction of the time and resources that were historically required.
To that end, leaders in the EDA space like Cadence Design Systems have continuously bolstered their toolsets to better assist customers of all sizes in the...
