Chip Packaging Trumps EDA: Why Synopsys Is Paying $35 Billion For Ansys
Here is how you know that the way chiplets are linked together to create what might have otherwise been a monolithic device is now more important than the way that the chiplets themselves are designed. …

Deep Learning Infiltrating HPC Physics Domains
While deep learning models might not be able to simulate large-scale physical phenomena in the same way purpose-built supercomputers and their application stacks do, there is more research emerging that shows how traditional HPC simulations can be augmented, if not replaced in some parts, by neural networks. …

The Symmetry Of Putting Fluid Dynamics In The Cloud
There has been a lot of talk about taking HPC technologies mainstream, taking them out of realm of research, education and government institutions and making them available to enterprises that are being challenged by the need to manage and process the huge amounts of data being generated through the use of such compute- and storage-intensive workloads such as analytics, artificial intelligence and machine learning. …

Rockets Shake And Rattle, So SpaceX Rolls Homegrown CFD
Elon Musk is shaking up both the car and space industries with his respective Tesla and SpaceX companies, and the irony is that while the former is totally upending the combustion engine for land transportation with zippy and stylish electric cars, the latter company has to not only embrace but to create new combustion technologies to get a manned mission to Mars as Musk not only dreams of doing, but is making happen. …
