Mentor Graphics Corp. has added to its Verification Academy a new SystemVerilog course and Patterns Library that together help verification engineers increase their expertise, productivity, and design quality. Developed by one of the leading SystemVerilog experts in the industry, SystemVerilog Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) for UVM Verification enables engineers to extend their SystemVerilog skills and keep up to date on the latest concepts, techniques, and methodologies. The searchable and versatile Patterns Library captures solutions for commonly encountered recurring problems, allowing organizations to document and share best practices to improve verification productivity and final design quality. "The Verification Academy is a comprehensive, straightforward, and accessible resource for UVM-based verification. With the addition of the new Patterns Library, the Academy now provides an example-based, searchable library for verification design patterns," said Brian Mathewson, lead ASIC verification engineer at SEAKR Engineering. "Supported by Mentor Graphics best-in-industry application engineers, the Verification Academy provides the resources needed to advance verification skills

MathWorks today announced new capabilities for modeling fluid systems within the Simscape product family. Introduced as part of Release 2016a, Simscape Fluids now provides component libraries for modeling and simulating thermal liquid systems. The new libraries and examples include heat exchangers, pipes, valves, and other components; this enables engineers to develop fluid power, heating and cooling, and fluid transportation systems for applications such as backhoe actuators, engine cooling systems, and water supply networks. Simscape Fluids enables engineers to build acausal models of fluid systems that integrate directly with block diagrams in Simulink, state machines in Stateflow, and MATLAB functions. Simulating the entire system within a single environment streamlines tasks such as designing control systems and optimizing system-level performance. This also makes it possible to detect integration issues earlier in the development process, when they are less expensive and time-consuming to address. Simscape Fluids models can also be converted to C code to support testing

JSC Giprokislorod, a modern Russian engineering company specialized in global oxygen and nitrogen-oxygen refinery projects, will use Intergraph® Process, Power & Marine solutions to improve engineering quality in its upcoming oil and gas projects. JSC Giprokislorod chose the Intergraph suite of solutions, including Intergraph Smart™ 3D, Intergraph SmartPlant® P&ID, Intergraph SmartPlant Interop Publisher and SmartPlant Review, mainly to enhance 3D design quality, interoperability and accuracy of project execution. Since being founded in 1946, JSC Giprokislorod has specialized in building air separation plants, executing gas processing projects, as well as construction of transportation and storage units, including LNG elements. Due to the wide variety of projects, JSC Giprokislorod needed an engineering solution that would enable the reuse of designs between different disciplines, contractors and locations. With Intergraph Smart 3D and Intergraph SmartPlant Interop Publisher, Giprokislorod will be able to use the Smart 3D model as a central data model for all the departments, enhance

Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd. today announced the development of software technology that uses multiple GPUs to enable high-speed deep learning powered by the application of supercomputer software parallelization technology. A conventional method to accelerate deep learning is to use multiple computers equipped with GPUs, networked and arranged in parallel. The issue with this method is that the effects of parallelization become progressively harder to obtain as the time required to share data between computers increases when more than 10 computers are used at the same time. Fujitsu Laboratories has newly developed parallelization technology to efficiently share data between machines, and applied it to Caffe, an open source deep learning framework widely used around the world. To confirm effectiveness with a wide range of deep learning, Fujitsu Laboratories evaluated the technology on AlexNet(1), where it was confirmed to have achieved learning speeds with 16 and 64 GPUs that are 14.7
