In the early days of the semiconductor industry, integrated circuits were designed by one or two engineers with slide-rules, hand-drawn on paper, and then given to a lithographer to print onto silicon ...

The aerospace and electronics industries have long applied computational models to not only design airplanes and chips, but also to simulate and optimize their performance. There have, until recently, ...

The world of computer-aided design and simulations is evolving to a more realistic model, which has industries beyond engineering taking advantage of its capabilities. This file type includes ...
