SmartCompile

In the race to deliver ever-larger SoCs under shrinking schedules, simulation is becoming a bottleneck. With debug cycles constrained by long iteration times—even for minor code changes—teams are finding traditional flows too rigid and slow. The problem is further magnified in continuous integration and continuous deployment… Read More

DVCon 2025 talk min

I mentioned in an earlier blog that multiple presentations at DVCon 2025 went all-in on AI-assisted design and verification. The presentation was one such example, looking very much at top-down AI-expert application of agentic flows to design and verification. AlphaDesign is a new startup out of UC Santa Barbara headed by William… Read More
