Si2 has joined the National Semiconductor Technology Center (NSTC). The NSTC is a key part of the CHIPS for America initiative, which aims to bolster the U.S. semiconductor industry and serves as a central hub for research and development in semiconductor technology.
The NSTC recently published an updated strategy and set of goals. Of primary interest to Si2 and our members is the goal to “reduce the time and cost to prototype” and the subgoal to “facilitate access to electronic design automation (EDA) and design resources, tools, and shared datasets.”
A key part of that subgoal is establishing a design enablement gateway (DEG) that “provides members with a secure, cloud-based service with convenient access to design tools, reference flows and designs, and shared data sets.” Si2 will work with other members of the NSTC to explore this topic in more depth in the coming months. You can read more about the revised NSTC strategic plan at NSTC-Strategic-Plan.
