Developing an AI enhanced chip design process

If the only constant is change, then AI represents the next big change for many tools and industries. High-level synthesis, one of the key tools in the semiconductor design process, is set to be one of the tools that receives a big upgrade from AI. Currently, HLS processes rely heavily on manual adjustments and hard-coded heuristics yet, with integrated intelligence, a new approach to chip design begins to emerge.

In this episode, host Spencer Acain is joined by Russell Klein, program director at Siemens EDA and a member of the Catapult HLS team, explores the ways AI can bring even greater automation and intelligence to the chip design and manufacturing process.

In this episode you will learn:
