Pattern matching (PM) was first introduced as the semiconductor industry began to shift from simple one-dimensional rule checks to the two-dimensional checks required by sub-resolution lithography.

Learn how to use pattern-matching features in your Java programs, including pattern matching with switch statements, when clauses, sealed classes, and a preview of primitive type pattern matching in ...

Python, for all its power and popularity, has long lacked a form of flow control found in other languages—a way to take a value and match it elegantly against one of a number of possible conditions.

As design nodes drop below 45nm, design rules are exploding in number and complexity, making design rule checking (DRC) harder and lengthier. What we have observed across the industry is that the ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. IC physical verification (i.e., design rule checking or “DRC”) used to be easy. In the good old days, you could run some ...

Experienced Java developers are committed to continuous improvement. We always seek ways to make our code more readable, reliable and efficient. Java's evolution provides a steady stream of powerful ...

Introduced with the Java 17 release, pattern matching enhances the instanceof operator so Java developers can better check and object's type and extract its components, and more efficiently deal with ...

How often have you struggled to verify static random-access memory (SRAM) blocks in your design? And how often, no matter how much time you spend on them, do they end up causing manufacturing issues?
