The era of the monolithic die is over.

The next decade belongs to systems assembled from many specialized dies — 2.5D and 3D configurations that blend logic, memory, and accelerators on a single advanced package.

This is not just a new packaging trick. It’s a deeper contract between design and manufacturing. It’s an expanded model for verification. And it’s a growing mandate for AI: be fast, be useful, be explainable, and be right.

I see this shift every day.

Organic interposers with dozens of embedded bridges are becoming more commonplace, carrying dense interconnects between systems-on-chip (SoCs) and towering high-bandwidth memory (HBM) stacks. We pull power from the bottom of these structures and deliver it with precision to the hungriest blocks at the top. Heat is no longer an afterthought, but a design parameter that competes with timing and signal integrity.

When you assemble heterogeneous dies into one system, every assumption made in the “old world” of single-die design becomes a hypothesis that must be tested continuously, not a box checked at the end.

That’s why collaboration can no longer be a polite handoff. It must be a shared source of truth — from early architecture exploration to manufacturing and test — co-owned by design teams and foundries.

Depending on the application, the center of gravity may shift. Silicon-first for one program, packaging-first for another. But the principle is constant: manufacturing constraints must shape the earliest design decisions, not veto the last ones.

Explore how multi-die design, executable STCO, and verifiable AI are reshaping chip design, continuous verification, and system-level collaboration.

Many organizations assume that moving HPC workloads to the cloud is simply a matter of lifting and shifting on-premises clusters. In practice, that approach often erodes performance, inflates costs, and undermines AI training efficiency.

Getting the most out of HPC in the cloud requires a fundamentally different architectural approach — one that minimizes latency, maximizes utilization, and scales predictably for AI workloads.

Learn how cloud HPC architectures optimize AI training by reducing latency, controlling costs, and scaling efficiently across distributed environments.

Digital twins have long been a staple in the world of engineering and manufacturing. As virtual representations of physical products, systems, and processes, they help organizations innovate, improve quality, and reduce costs.

Traditionally, digital twins were rooted in the physical world, serving as virtual counterparts to mechanical systems and large-scale physical assets — engines, buildings, even entire manufacturing operations. These early digital twins enabled organizations to simulate, monitor, and optimize physical products and processes, driving improvements in efficiency and reliability.

However, as products have evolved to incorporate more electronic components and embedded software, the digital twin paradigm is expanding. Today, electronics digital twin (eDT) technologies are emerging, allowing industries to virtually model not only physical platforms but also the software and electronics that define their behavior.
These technologies are not only changing the ways organizations approach design and validation; they’re also transforming lifecycle management and overarching business models. eDTs help deliver continuous software updates for maintenance, enhancements, or new add-on features, enabling ongoing product improvement and creating opportunities for new revenue streams after the initial sale.

To help explain these transformations, I spoke with Marc Serughetti, Synopsys vice president of product management, about the rise of eDT technologies, their unique value, and what organizations need to consider as they embrace these powerful virtual models.

Explore how electronics digital twins (eDTs) transform design, validation, and lifecycle management for software-defined, AI-enabled products.

The rise of artificial intelligence is fundamentally altering server design.

With data center capacity increasingly dedicated to complex AI models, the industry must find ways to support these insatiable workloads. In kilowatts alone, the increase in power density is enormous: traditional data center racks typically draw 5 to 15 kW, but AI racks already exceed 100 kW. And some analyses project peak densities reaching 1,000 kW by 2029.

But the challenges extend beyond scale.

AI model training and inference workloads are forcing the industry to rethink not only how much compute fits in a rack, but how servers are architected from end to end — transforming computing infrastructure as we know it.

Learn how AI workloads are reshaping server architecture with accelerators, CXL memory pooling, high-speed interconnects, and advanced cooling.

The Apollo space missions of the 1960s, which took humans to the Moon for the first time, relied on brute‑force propulsion more than technological sophistication.

The onboard Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC), while groundbreaking in its day, operated at just 2.048 MHz and had roughly 74 KB of total memory — numbers that seem almost unimaginable by today’s standards. You would need the combined memory of dozens of AGCs to store just one 2 MB photo taken by a modern smartphone.

The Artemis systems that will shepherd astronauts back to the Moon for the first time in half a century — and eventually to Mars — are millions of times more powerful than Apollo’s systems. In fact, nearly every major function in Orion, the primary spacecraft of the Artemis missions, is computer-driven.

This cosmic leap in technological capability underscores a defining truth: Modern space exploration is driven as much by processors as it is by rockets. And it remains the ultimate test of our collective ingenuity.

Discover how advanced design, simulation, and silicon-to-systems engineering drive the new era of space exploration, from Artemis missions to Mars.
