For example, you might think of system on chip (SoC) as a relatively recent term, coined this century. However, many regard the silicon that appeared in digital watches in the 1970s as constituting a system on a chip, ...

In SCE-MI 2.1, Accelera introduced a ‘function-based’ infrastructure...

Perhaps I owe you an explanation. Anyone familiar with hardware design flow knows that it starts with specification and ends with implementation. The specification in this flow is the “What” – it defines what needs to be designed....

Like most people, I was surprised to see a big Japanese company offering EDA tools....
