Zdeněk Hanzálek in Magazín Experiment - ČRo

This article from Magazín Experiment focuses on how electronic chips are designed and why their development is so complex. A key figure in the piece is Zdeněk Hanzálek who clearly explains what is hidden inside a chip and how its structure can be imagined as a miniature city with streets, buildings, and factories.

The article describes a new algorithm developed at CTU that can dramatically speed up chip design. While this used to be a task taking hours or even days, the computer can now find a functional and high-quality solution within minutes. This is important not only for electronics in laptops or mobile phones, but also for cars, household appliances, and industry. The article also notes that the same approach can be applied, for example, to the layout of machines in factories.
