This is because different microarchitectures will result in various physical sizes, power performance and cost of production. One of the successful solutions is the deployment of high-level predictive analysis, which helps figure out optimal architectures for specific cases.<br><br>In this episode, John McMillan interviews Anthony Mastroianni, the <em>3D IC Solutions Architect Director at Siemens Digital Industries Software<\/em>. And Gordon Allan, <em>Product Manager for Verification IP Solutions at Siemens EDA<\/em>. They\u2019ll help us understand 3D IC front-end aspects and the latest developments in this field.<br><br>This podcast will describe how predictive analytics makes 3D IC design faster and cheaper. You\u2019ll also learn what 3D IC front-end design involves and how to approach it. Additionally, learn what Siemens is doing to contribute towards making the design process more efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What You Will Learn in this Episode:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul
