Ending an Ugly Chapter in Chip Design

Cars That Think

Discussions at chip design conferences rarely get heated. But a year ago at the International Symposium on Physical Design , things got out of hand. The crux of the clash was whether Google’s AI solution to one of chip design’s thornier problems was really better than humans or state-of-the-art algorithms. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Behind the Design of the Tron Videogame

Cars That Think

This article was first published as "Tron: the master control program takes over." A PDF version is available on IEEE Xplore. The executive allows them to concentrate on writing the code for the game play, which is unique to each game. While the executive must be altered somewhat for each game, it still saves a great deal of time.

The X-Ray Tech That Reveals Chip Designs

Cars That Think

The same is true—with much higher stakes—for microelectronic chips: How can engineers confirm that what’s inside has truly met the intent of the designers? How can a semiconductor design company tell whether its intellectual property was stolen? We were encouraged by our early success.
