  • We had keynotes from Dave Rich from Siemens EDA, Madhav Rao from Tessolve, Lokesh Babu from Cadence, Joy Chandra from Qualcomm and Subramani (Subi) Kengeri from Applied Materials.

  • Two intriguing panels were held on Monday and Tuesday. The first panel sponsored by Intel, “Verifying on the Bleeding Edge at Breakneck Speed,” moderated by Yudhishthira Kundu, Intel, took a deep dive into the roadmap for verification for the new generation of advanced processors and systems which could potentially change the semiconductor landscape. The second panel sponsored by Siemens, “What will it take to fully implement a digital transformation platform for tools, IP and services?” moderated by Shakeel Jeeawoody, Siemens EDA, focused on the need for a well-integrated verification and validation environment as a platform to evaluate, develop and test soft and hard IP solutions and employ a shift-left methodology for software development, improving quality and time to market.

  • A special registration rate for university students and authors was added this year to encourage the academic community to connect with practicing engineers.
  • More than 25 exhibitors enjoyed a great deal of foot traffic and provided excellent networking opportunities.
Save the date: DVCon India 2023 will be held September 13 – 14, 2023 in Bengaluru, India.
