1. Siemens EDA has introduced three new circuit simulators under the Solido Simulation Suite to address the increasing demands for higher performance and capacity in 7nm and smaller nodes. 2. The new simulators include Solido SPICE, Solido LibSPICE, and Solido FastSPICE, each designed for different requirements and integration with other Siemens EDA tools. 3. Early customer results indicate significant speed improvements ranging from 2X to 68X, while maintaining accuracy, with endorsements from major semiconductor companies.

1. The article discusses the use of neural networks in enhancing randomized testing by focusing on novelty-based test selection to improve functional coverage. 2. It highlights a study where different neural network methods were applied to guide the selection of configuration register values in an automotive RADAR signal processing unit, significantly reducing the number of simulations needed. 3. The results show that using a coverage-focused neural network can achieve a substantial reduction in the simulations required to reach high coverage levels, though with variability.
