The 2024 DVCon (Design and Verification) Europe conference took place on October 15 and 16, in its traditional location at the Holiday Inn Munich City Centre. Artificial intelligence and software were prominent topics, along with the traditional DVCon topics like virtual platforms, RTL verification, and validation.
Most of the RISC-V action at the end of June was at the RISC-V Summit Europe, but not all. In fact, a group of well-informed and opinionated experts took over the Pavilion stage at the Design Automation Conference to discuss functional verification challenges for RISC-V and open-source IP.
Technology Journalist Ron Wilson and … Read More
