new pricing paradigm for DRAMs The DRAM industry is expected to enter a new and more positive pricing paradigm, in which the cyclical business is less inclined to follow the path of Moore's Law. CoWare upgrades SystemC-based SoC modeling tools CoWare Inc. has released a significant revision of its SystemC-based ConvergenSC system-on-chip (SoC) design tools that it claims will enable faster modeling and debug of IP models, platform subsystems, and SoC designs in SystemC. Semico conference showcases nonvolatile understudies A trio of vendors pitched their idea of the next big thing in nonvolatile memory technology here on Thursday (Nov. 5). Nvidia Corp.'s third-quarter results were summed up by one analyst in a literary tone &#151 Dr. Jekyll meets Mr. Hyde. Memories may mark early beachhead for nanotech Nanotechnology is moving forward on many fronts with semiconductor memories expected to be one of its first major beachheads in electronics. Oct. 31 to Nov. 6 German firms on hiring spree in Bangalore Siemens AG (Munich) and Robert Bosch (Stuttgart) have announced they will expand their operations in India, joining other German companies such as Infineon Technologies and Daimler Benz that have already set up facilities in the country. DFM is needed at 90-nm As process technologies scale below 0.13-micron, challenges in manufacturing cost-effective new designs are increasing. To address emerging challenges that cannot be resolved through process optimization, comprehensive design-for-manufacturing (DFM) methodologies must be employed throughout the design flow to ensure correct-by-construction, process-aware designs. Acuid tester passes Infineon acceptance test, says CEO Acuid Ltd., the Russo-Scottish company with expertise in high-speed serial data transmission, has received acceptance for its bT144 engineering test platform from Infineon Technologies AG, according to Hans Rohrer, Acuid's chief executive officer. Taiwan's InProComm targets non-PC apps Taiwanese IC designer InProComm Inc. is looking to enter into a variety of
