Synopsys, Inc. today introduced Cheetah, a breakthrough simulation technology, as part of the Synopsys VCS® verification solution. Cheetah leverages fine-grained parallelism and the latest advancements in CPU and GPU architectures to enable a simulation speed-up of up to 5X for RTL designs and up to 30X for gate-level designs. "Verification complexity grows 4X every two years while simulation performance is only improving 10-20 percent year-to-year. Today's GPUs offer enormous acceleration for parallel computing workloads and superior performance scaling generation-to-generation," said Jonah Alben, senior vice president of GPU engineering at NVIDIA. "Logic simulation/verification has an opportunity to leverage these capabilities for simulation acceleration, and Synopsys' VCS Cheetah technology is the right step in that direction." Simulation continues to be the workhorse of SoC verification flows and accounts for the vast majority of verification tasks. As such, simulation performance is the most critical element in the ability to handle growing SoC complexity and

MathWorks today introduced Release 2016a (R2016a).

After a recent acquisition, Microsoft IT needed a unified way to create, manage, and release hardware product data. Using an agile development methodology, we were able to quickly build and release a new consolidated product data management system. Harnessing the power of agile development: Business Case Study March 2016 Integrating an acquired business means adjusting business processes, integrating data and technology platforms, and onboarding teams. When we acquired Nokia, each area posed significant integration complexity for both our joining and existing teams due to differences in size, processes, and priorities. A number of factors influence the level of process and technology integration between merging companies. In the case of the Nokia integration, we analyzed the state of the disparate and out-of-date product data management (PDM) systems that were in place and decided to migrate everyone to a new unified platform, OnePDM. In considering this opportunity, Microsoft Device teams requested we
