Using PSS Portable Stimulus for Chip Verification and Validation
Developing advanced semiconductor chips gets harder all the time, pushing electronic design automation (EDA) vendors to innovate in their tools and methodologies. They’re working constantly to improve capacity and performance while supporting the latest silicon technology nodes. They also seek ways to raise the level of abstraction, such as high-level synthesis (HLS) and the Universal Verification Methodology (UVM).

Writing Better Code More Quickly with an IDE and Linting
As a technical marketing consultant, I always enjoy the chance to talk to hands-on users of my clients’ electronic design automation (EDA) tools to “see how the sausage is made” on actual projects. Cristian Amitroaie, CEO of AMIQ EDA, recently connected me with Verification and Infrastructure Manager Dan Cohen and Verification Engineers Xiyu Wang and Nick Sarkis from Lightmatter. I had the pleasure of speaking with them about their experiences using AMIQ EDA products.
Destitution Meets Compassion in Holly Humberstone's "Easy Tiger"
Well, I spent the whole of last week underwater On occasion, I would surface from my room Got a first-class view from right here in my fortress Got a staring contest going with the moon The song begins with the kind of sadness that settles like humidity over a whole house, seeping into every room and dampening each surface. It turns kitchen chairs into funeral pews and vases into urns.
Share the Nostalgia of Ben Shive's "Here It Was"
A few years ago, I started noticing something that made me laugh. I was sitting in a coffee shop in midmorning, doing my best not to eavesdrop. But some people are loud talkers, bless their hearts. The group across from me was being entertained by one such person. He was telling a story as I pretended to focus on my laptop. I gave a little laugh, then caught it, not wanting to give myself away. The group was too entranced by the storyteller to notice.
Mon Rovîa's "City On A Hill" Is Its Own World
Our truest moments – the ones that are pure, unadulterated living – are those that engage all the senses. If I ask you to recall a barefoot walk through mown grass, chances are your memory can bring you back to one with ease, right down among the details. You know where you were, and how old, and who you were with, and what color shirt they were wearing. Now imagine the last time you did your taxes. Sure, you know you did them. If you didn’t, you’d be in jail by now.
Opinion: Next generation of minority leaders deserve focus on mental health wellness
As a tribal citizen of the Cherokee Nation, my culture runs deep. Tribal culture is what ties me to my past and gives clarity for the future. Culture makes challenging statistics about Native American mental health extraordinarily personal. American Indian and Alaskan Native people have a long history of health disparities and poor health outcomes.
Discover How Ameren and SAS Leveraged 8 Critical Data Sources to Develop a Use Case to Monitor the Health of Distribution Transformers
With the adoption of smart meter or automated metering infrastructure (AMI) and big data platforms to collect and analyze AMI meter data, utilities are equipped to continuously monitor and proactively manage distribution transformer overloading. Ameren Illinois and SAS Institute worked together to create a cost-benefit case for distribution transformer health monitoring along with a detailed proof concept for their predictive model.

Why The 1975 is Still So Good: The Value of Making Music with Context
The 1975 is the only alternative-pop band that isn’t trying too hard to sound like The 1975. And of course that’s intentionally an overstatement, but I really do think it’s kind of true. And I think it can help us make better art. Here’s what I mean. I remember when their first full-length record came out in 2013, and the indie music world lost its collective mind.

What the FCA’s Business Plan and Strategy really means: a brave new world | JD Supra
The UK Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) shift towards consumer protection is intensifying. At the same time, it is gearing up to become a more assertive regulator, intervening more frequently, following the example of its U.S. counterparts. So where does this leave firms? Consumer-focused regulator The FCA’s Business Plan and Strategy demonstrate a clear intention to harness greater consumer protections within the financial services industry.
What the FCA’s Business Plan and Strategy really means: collection and use of data | JD Supra
The requirement for firms to collect and report quality data has never been more important, with the UK Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) outcome driven strategy looking to rely on firm data to realise its plans. In this post we explore the FCA’s data strategy going forward and what this means for firms.
What the FCA’s Business Plan and Strategy really means: digital markets | JD Supra
The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) recently published their Business Plans for 2022/23. The FCA also published a three-year strategy. But what does it really mean for firms? This is the first in a series of blog posts looking behind the headlines to understand the broader points of regulatory focus. We will consider how firms can adapt to keep pace with the FCA and PRA’s latest ambitions and the rapidly changing regulatory landscape.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the importance of an operational and cyber risk defence | JD Supra
With rapidly evolving developments regarding Russia and Ukraine, the FCA has reiterated that firms need to be vigilant of operational and cyber resilience. The FCA on 8 March 2022 set out five areas that firms should be watchful of following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Cybersecurity: firms should review the NCSC’s guidance, and consider their ability, as well as that of third-party providers, to withstand a cyber-attack.

Preparing for the new Consumer Duty | JD Supra
The UK Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) latest consultation and feedback on the proposed Consumer Duty engages with some of the sticking points as well as providing draft rules and guidance. Whilst time is of the essence, firms should be alive to the need to flex their programmes of work while the regulator and industry work through the “iterative” implementation process and clarify some of the thornier details.
Three Key Aspects Of IP Quality
Functional correctness, robustness, and readability of IP are vital for high-quality, reusable designs. It’s no secret that today’s huge system-on-chip (SoC) projects require massive amounts of design reuse. No team, no matter how talented, can design a billion or more gates from scratch.
Are you really a follower of Jesus?
To try and help you see the distinction between being religious and following a 'religion' let me use an example. Let's say there is a band that has a large fan base called The Smiles. This band writes music about loving people, showing compassion, and doing their bit for society. Some fans, probably the majority, will follow the band because they enjoy the music, feel belonging as part of a group, and maybe relate to the band's message.
A&O Consulting: Looking beyond Covid-19 | JD Supra
As regulated firms start to move to a more stable hybrid working approach, the FCA recently published a statement setting out regulatory expectations ‘so firms can plan and continue to meet their regulatory responsibilities’.
Delivering Three Key Aspects of IP Quality
It’s no secret that today’s huge system-on-chip (SoC) projects require massive amounts of design reuse. No team, no matter how talented, can design a billion or more gates from scratch. They use extensive borrowing of RTL code from previous and related projects, plus hundreds of thousands of instantiated IP blocks from internal libraries, open-source repositories, development partners, and commercial providers.
FCA product value findings | JD Supra
The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) recently published its findings following a review regarding product value and coronavirus. While the review focussed on the general insurance sector, the FCA’s findings will be relevant to other firms as they relate to certain FCA priority items such as the new consumer duty, governance, ensuring good customer outcomes and reducing consumer harms.
How to Transition from Journalism to Marketing
I had just arrived in Marrakech for vacation when a customs agent glared at me and asked what media organization I was with. I stammered and looked puzzled until he held up my customs form. Even though I had worked in content marketing full time for several years, I had absentmindedly listed my occupation as a journalist. The Moroccan government wanted to know if I planned on causing any trouble. Once a journalist, always a journalist. I spent the first 15 years of my career as a journalist.
How to Become a Better Writer
Great writing is magic, but there is no magic to being a better writer. It is an exercise in time and suffering. The more time you spend writing, the more your writing skills will improve. No writing tips can eliminate the pain. To begin, begin.
11 Myths About Integrated Development Environments
Some views are used extensively by both teams as well as programmers, especially hierarchy diagrams that make it easy to navigate through a large codebase. Control and status registers (CSRs) are the key interface between hardware and software, so both teams benefit from views showing registers and bitfields within them. IDEs connect all text and graphical views together synchronously and interactively, with hyperlinks, cross-probing, highlighting, and consistent coloring. 5.
Omari MC Review: Is Paid Spotify Promotion Worth It?
It’s the most common question every indie artist asks themselves at some point in their career: What is the meaning of life? Unfortunately that’s not the question I’ll be answering today. But I will be trying to answer the second-most-common question: Is paying for promotion worth it? When I started releasing music six years ago, I had no idea what I was doing. I released a three-song EP, and I sent about 20 cold emails to blogs and playlists in hopes that someone would pick up one of my songs.
11 Myths About Integrated Development Environments
Writing code is hard, especially on projects involving many thousands or even millions of lines. Managing the sheer complexity of such a codebase is challenging—just pulling together all the pieces into a coherent whole is a huge effort. The code must be verified and debugged, and the fixes must be re-verified to ensure that no new bugs are introduced. The code also changes frequently over the course of a project as new requirements are defined and downstream issues are discovered.
Bo Burnham Lights, Shoots, and Edits His New Netflix Comedy Special All by Himself
Bo Burnham's new Netflix comedy special hit people's screens last week, and it has been receiving wholesome responses. The new special, titled "Inside," was impressively solo-filmed over the course of a year, with nothing more than minimal gear inside a small room. After recently watching Inside, I was blown away by the plethora of creative techniques employed. With so few resources, Bo was able to achieve beautiful cinematography that complemented his performances to a T.
NFTs for Musicians: What You Need to Know
You knew it was coming. I knew it was coming. Anyone who regularly checks the net worth of singer-songwriter Grimes knew it was coming. I’m going to be perfectly honest here: I’m not a technology expert, and I don’t really want to be. I’m definitely content to stick to music and writing, where things feel relatively nice and uncomplicated most of the time.
How to Get Fans of Your Music
When I was a kid, my brothers and I would record ourselves singing in Audacity. Then we’d lay down some rhythm using a few pots and a basket of legos, and some guitar riffs using the only two chords Jon knew at the time. When a song was in its final form, we’d sit our parents and friends down and essentially force them to listen to what we thought was sure to be a massive viral hit, songwriting masterpiece, etc.
New operational resilience requirements and guidance for UK financial services firms | JD Supra
Following a year that saw firms’ operational resilience arrangements put to the test, the FCA, the PRA and the Bank of England published their long-awaited final rules and guidance on operational resilience on 29 March 2021, alongside an additional paper published by the PRA on outsourcing and third party risk management.
What is an EPK? (And How to Make One)
If you’re an indie artist, chances are you’ve tried to pitch your music to blogs (like this one), playlists (like this one), radio stations (we don’t have one of those yet), and maybe even labels (don’t have that either). As an artist, I’ve pitched myself to all of those things. Speaking from experience, it can feel pretty tedious to gather all the materials and links to my music and websites in an email or form submission. As a blogger, I’ve received every kind of submission possible.
How to Release Music in 2021: The 6 Best Tips and Strategies
Pretty much nobody knows what they’re doing when they release music for the first time. I remember when I first decided to make a short 3-song record in 2015. Here’s a rough sketch of the sequence of events: I recorded the songs. I Googled “How to put music on Spotify.” I chose CD Baby as a distributor, since their ad was the first result. I started posting on Instagram a few weeks in advance. I got really excited. The record came out. I got about 300 streams and my mom was really proud of me.
How to Make Money as a Musician in 2021
Being a musician is all about the money. Just kidding. An artist friend of mine once said that choosing to be a musician is essentially choosing to be poor for the rest of your life. I think there’s a lot of truth in that. To clarify, he doesn’t mean that musicians never make any money. That’s obviously not the case. And he himself is a full-time artist and songwriter who’s making a solid living.
Is Spotify Pre-Save Worth It? Why and How to Set It Up
In recent years, there have been evolving strategies for artists to get their music heard on streaming services. One of the most popular tools, offered by a few distributors and websites, is Spotify pre-save. This article will be an answer to two main questions (with some important info laid out in between). What is Spotify pre-save? And how do I set it up? Let’s jump into it. What is a pre-save?
How to Create Content That Sells
Michael Lewis knows successful content. First, of course, there are his books: “The Big Short,” “Moneyball,” “Liar’s Poker,” and so on. (I’m a fanboy and have read all of them, except the one about the 1996 presidential election) There are the movies based on his books: no Oscar for Sandra Bullock without “The Blind Side.” And now there is the podcast.
How to Get Spotify Followers in 2021: 5 Tips for Growing Your Audience
If you’re an independent artist marketing your own music, then the world of Spotify can seem daunting. The word “algorithm” belongs among the most boring words in the English language, and after the great purge of tracks receiving fraudulent streams this year, paying borderline-sketchy companies for growth on the platform is increasingly frowned upon. But for better or for worse, Spotify has largely cornered the market on music streaming.
Why You Need a Content Marketing Mentor
Starting out in a career, most of us have that responsible friend at work. You know, the one who does all her homework before big meetings, who leaves team happy hours before they get weird, and, more importantly, the person the boss trusts to get the job done. My responsible work friend was Kelley Butler. We worked together as associate editors at Employee Benefit News, a trade magazine covering, you guessed it, employee benefits.
Why you might need to mess up your life
Sometimes you’ve got to make a mess to improve the situation. My son got a mini Rubik’s Cube earlier in the year. Before long he got pretty good at getting half of it done- but could never complete it. This week however, with a bit of guidance, he finally solved it. Life can be a bit like a Rubik’s Cube. With a bit of effort and perseverance, we get things working well enough.
