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
Don’t miss our upcoming webinar, where we’ll explore the importance of safety in automotive design. This session will focus on the customer’s high demand for integrated safety flows in verification, digital, and analog design. We’ll showcase the exceptional value of the Midas Safety Platform for… Read More
Presenters: Martin Beeby, Head of Advanced Avionics Systems and Managing Director of ConsuNova EU and Janusz Kitel, DO-254 Program Manager at Aldec Inc.
Abstract:
System on Chip (SoC) devices are transforming the landscape of advanced aviation systems, offering unparalleled integration of multiple functionalities within… Read More
The Design & Verification Conference & Exhibition is the premier conference on the application of languages, tools, methodologies and standards for the design and verification of electronic systems and integrated circuits. The focus of this highly technical conference is on the practical aspects
The complexity of System-on-Chip (SoC) designs continues to rise at an accelerated rate, with design complexity doubling approximately every two years. This increasing complexity makes verification a more difficult and time-consuming task for design engineers. Among the key verification challenges is managing reset domain… Read More
At the recent User2user conference, Amit Kumar, Principal Hardware Engineer, Microsoft, shared the company’s experience from building a 3DIC SoC and highlighted Siemens EDA tools that were used. The following is a synthesis of core aspects of that talk.
Despite the numerous advantages of 3DIC technology, its… Read More
The Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) is a popular way to help verify SystemVerilog designs, and it includes a configuration system that unfortunately has some speed and usage issues. Rich Edelman from Siemens EDA wrote a detailed 20-page paper on the topic of how to avoid these issues, and I’ve gone through it to… Read More
Actually not so new, just new to us in the US. Verification Futures is already well established as a Tessolve event with a 10-year track record in the UK. This year they are bringing the conference to Austin on September 14th (REGISTER HERE).
While DVCon is an ever-popular event for sharing verification ideas, it isn’t always accessible… Read More
Modern day chips are increasingly complex with stringent quality requirements, very demanding performance requirement and very low power consumption requirement. Verification of these chips is very time consuming and accounts for approximately 70% of the simulation workload on EDA server farms. As software-based simulators… Read More
Semiconductor technology is among the most complex of technologies and the semiconductor industry is among the most demanding of industries. Yet the ecosystem has delivered incredible advances over the last six decades from which the world has benefitted tremendously. Yes, of course, the markets want that break-neck speed… Read More
