Organizations face more cyberattacks today than ever before as cyber criminals and bad actors develop new ways to attack systems with each new software and hardware device deployed. In fact, a 2021 Cyber Resilient Organization Study found that 61% of respondents were forced to pay the ransom in a ransomware attack. This metric underscores the fact that being cybersecure is no longer enough, companies today must also be cyber resilient so they can quickly respond to and recover from attacks as th...

Traditionally, FPGA design was simple. Designers set a basic clock constraint that was propagated across the chip. But now, FPGA designs have become much more complex. There are multiple clocks, and relationships between those clocks. There may be clock domain crossings that need to be accounted for. So, FPGA design tools today must feature much greater analysis capabilities to show the designer, for example, where those clock domain crossings are, to be able to constrain for multiple clocks, an...
