How EDA Is Evolving for a New Era of Semiconductor Complexity
Semiconductor complexity is accelerating at a pace that traditional design methods struggle to handle. As transistor counts race toward one trillion per chip, the tools and workflows that engineers rely on must evolve to keep pace.
In this episode of the Industry Forward Podcast, host Dale Tutt, Vice President of Industry Strategy at Siemens Digital Industries Software, sits down with Ankur Gupta, who oversees Siemens’ integrated circuit design portfolio, to explore how the semiconductor industry is responding to an era of exponential complexity and how AI will help companies navigate growing complexity.
This episode will cover:
- Ankur’s career journey from mathematics and control systems to leading AI-driven EDA solutions at Siemens
- What electronic design automation (EDA) is and why it is foundational to every chip in every device we use
- Why traditional EDA methods are no longer sufficient as chip designs grow more complex, more interconnected, and more constrained by physical and thermal realities
- A preview of how AI is beginning to change the EDA tools and solutions that semiconductor teams depend on
