In a recent post, I hinted at a significant performance improvement in Assura. 

Our R&D team focused on performance improvements in the 3.2 release, which was shipped last August.  Based on our suite of performance benchmarks, we achieved an overall 10x performance boost.  This comes from two fundamental improvements: an overall 3.5x boost in single processor performance, and an overall 2.8x performance boost from using four CPUs in a multiprocessor configuration. 

Your mileage may vary, of course.  Our test suite includes a variety of designs and processes - LVS testcases as well as DRC.  We typically noticed the most significant performance improvement on large designs that previously ran for many hours. 

This is a maintenance upgrade from the previous release, so there's no risk if you want to download the latest version just to kick the tires.  It will probably save you some time. 

Earning calls sure are interesting! Below is an excerpt from the TSMC Q209 call (transcript from seekingalpha). The discussion revolves around the 40nm yield issues and TSMC's ramp to improving the yield. Dr. Liu really hits on a key element of DFM...(read more)

I loved Nina Paley’s brilliant animated film Sita Sings the Blues. If you’re reading this, stop right now—and watch the film here.

Paley has set the story of the Ramayana to the 1920s jazz vocals of Annette Hanshaw. The epic tale is interwoven with Paley’s account of her husband’s move to India from where he dumps her by e-mail. The Ramayana is presented with the tagline: “The Greatest Break-Up Story Ever Told.”

All of this should make us curious. But there are other reasons for admiring this film:

The film returns us to the message that is made clear by every village-performance of the Ramlila: the epics are for everyone. Also, there is no authoritative narration of an epic. This film is aided by three shadow puppets who, drawing upon memory and unabashedly incomplete knowledge, boldly go where only pundits and philosophers have gone before. The result is a rendition of the epic that is gloriously a part of the everyday.

This idea is taken even further. Paley says that the work came from a shared culture, and it is to a shared culture that it must return: she has put the film on Creative Commons—viewers are invited to distribute, copy, remix the film.

Of course, such art drives the purists and fundamentalists crazy. On the Channel 13 website, “Durgadevi” and “Shridhar” rant about the evil done to Hinduism. It is as if Paley had lit her tail (tale!) and set our houses on fire!

A focus on customer enablement across all Cadence sub-organizations has led to a cross-functional effort to identify opportunities to bring our customers to proficiency with our products and flows. Hence, Rapid Adoption Kits -- RAKs -- for Synthesis...(read more)

With shrinking design nodes, a significant portion of the delays are contributed by the wires rather than the cells. Traditional synthesis tools use fan-out-based wire-load models to provide wire delay information, which has led to significant differences...(read more)

Wormtrack is a network IDS that helps detect scanning worms on a local area network by monitoring anomalous ARP traffic. This allows detection of scanning threats on the network, without having privileged access on a switch to set up a dedicated monitor port, nor does it require a constant updating of the rules engine to address new threats.

The threat of climate change is driving China and the U.S. — frequent rivals and the world’s two largest greenhouse-gas emitters — to collaborate on dozens of potential clean-energy breakthroughs.

As a businessman exploring investments, I need simple answers, however complicated the problem. I wish to know: Are microgrids economical? How much investment is needed and for what? What are the factors that principally affect profitability, within the system and in the environment? If microgrids are not profitable at the present, when will they be? I recognize that understanding microgrids as a system requires complicated mathematics and modeling. I’m sympathetic to and respect those who do that.

The European Union is seeking to speed up the creation of a common energy market to help its shift to a low-carbon economy and boost security of energy supplies amid a natural-gas dispute between Russia and Ukraine.
