Pattern matching (PM) was first introduced as the semiconductor industry began to shift from simple one-dimensional rule checks to the two-dimensional checks required by sub-resolution lithography.

Design patterns have evolved to address problems that are often encountered in software applications. They are solutions to recurring problems and complexities in software design. We’ve discussed many ...

Retro design is experiencing a major comeback, infusing bold color and pattern with a modern twist. Instead of monochromatic ...

Get an overview of design patterns, then use what you've learned to evaluate whether the Composite pattern is a good choice for a particular Java use case Numerous strategies have been devised to ...

To help designers find complex features with a design implementation, physical verification and DFM tools may employ pattern matching techniques. That is, a designer can simply copy a particular ...

Both scan automated test pattern generation (ATPG) patterns and IJTAG patterns 1,2,3 are created for a piece of logic that is part of a much larger design. For both, the patterns are independent from ...

SystemVerilog supports templates for generic code writing using parameterized classes. Here we’re going to describe some of the design patterns in the code that make up the UVM base class library.
