About this episode

Semiconductors are rapidly growing in complexity. This growth in complexity is outstripping the ability of current tools and engineering methods, straining teams as they attempt to keep pace with modern demands for cutting edge chips. The arrival of industrial AI, however, can help these teams by accelerating tools and aiding engineers. 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, Executive Vice President of EDA Integrated circuit Software at Siemens EDA, to explore how the semiconductor industry is responding to an era of exponential complexity and how AI will help companies navigate the design of future chips. This episode will cover: Three ways industrial AI is changing EDA tools Multi-physics analysis and system-level design automation in modern chip development How AI-native EDA accelerates simulation speeds and connects data across domains The comprehensive Digital Twin approach in EDA And more!
