We are excited to announce that the legendary Doom is now available as a plugin block for our cloud-based collaborative engineering platform, pSeven Enterprise. Our users can now play Doom while their automated multidisciplinary simulation and optimization workflows are executed in the background. But if we put jokes aside, the idea behind this is that the cloud nature of pSeven Enterprise allows you building a truly flexible environment thanks to: Server-side execution and environment extension: pSeven Enterprise with its cloud architecture is deployed on customer premises or in a private cloud, allowing users to launch resource-consuming multidisciplinary engineering workflows server-side, while seamless attachment of Windows machines enables integration of any solver or tool into those workflows. Customizable block library: Users can configure virtually any type of block with embedded 3rd party software or in-house tool, execution logic and even with a custom runtime environment. Then publish those blocks to make them available for

Keysight Technologies, Inc. announced the launch of Chiplet PHY Designer 2025, its latest solution for high-speed digital chiplet design tailored to AI and data center applications. The enhanced software introduces simulation capabilities for the Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express™ (UCIe™) 2.0 standard and adds support for the Open Computer Project Bunch of Wires (BoW) standard. As an advanced, system-level chiplet design and die-to-die (D2D) design solution, Chiplet PHY Designer enables pre-silicon level validation, streamlining the path to tapeout. As AI and data center chips grow more complex, ensuring reliable communication between chiplets becomes crucial for performance. The industry is addressing this challenge through open, emerging standards like UCIe and BoW that define the interconnects between chiplets within an advanced 2.5D/3D or laminate/advanced package. By adopting these standards and verifying chiplets for compliance, designers contribute to the growing ecosystem for chiplet interoperability, reducing costs and risks in semiconductor development. Key Benefits of the Chiplet PHY Designer 2025:  Ensures

Oracle announced a comprehensive set of customized tools and documentation to help defense contractors comply with the new Department of Defense (DoD) Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) when they launch services on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). As of October 15, 2024, defense contractors must be compliant with CMMC Level 1, 2, and/or 3 over a phased implementation period. Achieving these standards can be difficult, especially for small and medium-sized businesses. The new OCI Core Landing Zone automation template and CMMC-specific documentation can significantly ease this process, helping save months of manual work mapping controls and setting up compliance-ready cloud architecture. “GE Aerospace uses Oracle US Government Cloud to deliver CMMC Level 2 readiness on a modernized supply chain,” said Shravan Devulapalli, cybersecurity technologist, GE Aerospace. “Our modernization project was delivered on time and on budget with performance that exceeded the on-premises solution it replaced.”  Achieving CMMC compliance The CMMC Program enables the DoD to verify that defense prime contractors and
