Today’s chips are no longer just processors, they are entire systems. A System-on-Chip (SoC) brings together CPU clusters, accelerators, memories, interconnects and dozens of peripherals, often coming from many different teams and vendors. With AI, high-performance computing and IoT driving demand for … Read More

As SoCs evolve into multi-die systems, getting data across a die-to-die interface is only part of the challenge. Architects must also preserve traffic behavior, bandwidth efficiency and quality of service as communication moves across physical chip boundaries.
DVCon is the premier conference on the application of languages, tools, and methodologies for the design and verification of electronic systems and integrated circuits. The focus of the conference is the usage of specialized design and verification languages such as SystemVerilog, Verilog, VHDL, PSS, SystemC and e, as well
The future of intelligent computing depends on silicon that delivers more performance within tighter power and thermal limits. Combining TSMC’s advanced process technology with Analog Bits’ analog and mixed-signal expertise, we help designers address those demands through local power regulation, supply monitoring, precision… Read More
SoC teams are routinely told to “shift left”—to find design and verification problems earlier, where they are cheaper to fix—yet in most flows the first model that is both performance-accurate and authoritative is still the RTL, which arrives late and simulates slowly. This webinar will show that SystemC models built with the
Dr. Zakir Syed is Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of ClockEdge, where he has played a central role in developing specialized simulation technology for advanced semiconductor clock networks. He brings more than 30 years of experience in electronic design automation and semiconductor verification. He joined Simplex… Read More
The rapid growth of AI at the edge is forcing SoC architects to rethink traditional processor designs. Dedicated NPUs deliver impressive performance for today’s models, but evolving AI workloads, increasing system complexity and growing pressure on power and silicon budgets are exposing the limitations of fixed-function… Read More
Preamble
Hardware-assisted verification (HAV) platforms, including hardware emulators and FPGA-based prototyping systems, are the two dominant methodologies for validating long workloads on complex System-on-Chip (SoC) designs before tape-out. HAV sits within a broader continuum of verification engines: simulation… Read More
As the automotive industry transitions to software-defined vehicles, security must evolve from a collection of isolated protections into a trusted foundation for the entire vehicle. Over-the-air updates, centralized compute architectures, vehicle connectivity, and increasingly autonomous functions are placing unprecedented… Read More
Modern ASIC, SoC, CPU, and GPU development depends on verification processes that detect subtle functional defects before tapeout. SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA) are particularly important because they encode temporal design intent: how signals, states, and transactions must behave across clock cycles. Unlike conventional… Read More
