I should admit up front that I don’t have a scientific answer to this comparison, but I do have a reasonably informed gut feel, at least for the near-term. The reason I ask the question is that automated RTL generation grabs headlines with visions of designing chips through natural language prompts, making design widely accessible.… Read More
The semiconductor world is gathering at DAC 62, and ChipAgents AI is coming ready to show why agentic AI is the missing piece in modern RTL design and verification. Whether you’re drowning in terabytes of waveform data, grinding toward 100% functional coverage, or hunting for ways to accelerate time-to-market, our sessions and… Read More
After being held in San Francisco since the pandemic the beloved Design Automation Conference will be on the move again. In 2026 DAC will be held in Huntington Beach. For you non-California natives, Huntington Beach is a California city Southeast of Los Angeles. It’s known for surf beaches and its long Huntington Beach Pier.… Read More
