VLSI design automation software loop faster and faster for any last bug

The major cause of road accidents is human error, that's the main reason for the growth of advanced driver assistance systems(ADAS) and self driving vehicle technology. Whether it is driver assistance systems or self driving vehicle, it's the VLSI semiconductor chips, sensors and the loaded embedded software which takes over the tasks from human driver. In VLSI chip design process flow there is lesser chance of human error because of level of design automation software employment, and its automation, automation and automation and ever continuing automation… to design the chip and also to test the chip to make compliant with standards such as ISO 26262. At this year's 17th annual Synopsys User’s Group (SNUG) conference held in India the focus is further and further on automation, so that you can design very complex but yet robust and reliable semiconductor VLSI chips to automate car/vehicle driving. If you look at the semiconductor market, most of the market analysts have forecasted same or lesser global semiconductor revenue growth in year 2016 compared to 2015. This is due to negative growth in PC market and very little growth in wireless/smart phone market. It's the automotive electronics market which has potential to provide double-digit growth to semiconductor companies. That's the reason why the leading EDA vendor Synopsys is focusing heavily on automot...
