About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Cadence Signoff Solutions Empower Samsung Foundry’s Breakthrough Success on 5G Networking SoC Design

Highlights

  • Cadence Tempus Timing Solution and Quantus Extraction Solution enabled Samsung Foundry to confidently sign off their SF5A design while achieving optimal PPA results
  • As a result of their first deployment of Cadence signoff solutions, Samsung Foundry realized a 2X productivity boost for faster design closure

 

Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: CDNS) today announced that Samsung Foundry successfully taped out a 5G networking SoC design on the Samsung 5LPE technology using the Cadence® Quantus Extraction Solution and Tempus Timing Solution. This accomplishment marks a turning point for Samsung Foundry where the team deployed the Cadence signoff solutions for the first time, achieving a 2X productivity boost that led to faster design closure versus its previous design methodology. The team also experienced significant power, performance and area (PPA) gains on this 120M instance design using the Cadence integrated flow.

One of the most notable aspects of Samsung Foundry’s achievement was the team’s use of the Tempus ECO Option within the Cadence Innovus Implementation System, which facilitated faster design convergence and closure, leading to an unprecedented reduction in project timeline. Further contributing to the productivity improvement, Samsung Foundry deployed the Tempus hierarchical static timing analysis feature, enabling hierarchical design closure while optimizing resource allocation and reducing machine and memory demands. Lastly, the Samsung team utilized Tempus and Quantus distributed technology to curtail the overall runtime for this complex design.

“The successful tapeout of our SF5A design for 5G networking was a significant milestone for our team, and the enhanced efficiency and reduced runtime afforded by the Cadence Quantus Extraction Solution and Tempus Timing Solution are a testament to the power of innovation and collaboration between the Cadence and Samsung teams,” said Sangyun Kim, Vice president and head of Foundry Design Technology Team at Samsung Electronics, Samsung Electronics. “We’re committed to pushing the boundaries and leveraging the effectiveness of these signoff tools to deliver our designs to market faster, and we look forward to building upon our success for future projects and advancements.”

“The integrated Quantus Extraction Solution and Tempus Signoff Solution played a pivotal role in enabling Samsung Foundry to achieve enhanced productivity and PPA gains and time-to-market efficiencies,” said Vivek Mishra, corporate vice president in the Digital & Signoff Group at Cadence. “The most rewarding aspect of the collaboration with Samsung Foundry was seeing the team achieve their target design metrics while accelerating the time to market. We’re looking forward to continuing our work together to advance innovation.”

The Quantus Extraction Solution and Tempus Timing Solution are part of the broader Cadence digital full flow, offering a faster path to tapeout. The tools and flow support the company’s Intelligent System Design strategy, enabling customers to achieve SoC design excellence. For more information, please visit www.cadence.com/go/signoffsfcs.
