The strong turnout underscored one thing clearly: <strong>our industry is ready to adopt AI-driven solutions to tackle the toughest custom IC design and verification challenges.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Custom IC Technical Sessions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within the <strong>Custom IC Design and Verification<\/strong> track, attendees participated in sessions that addressed both future-oriented topics and practical applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Library IP Verification, Selection, and Generation<\/strong><br>The <strong>Solido Characterization Suite<\/strong> session showed how AI enables faster, smarter comparisons of .lib PPA data across libraries. Participants saw how this ensures <strong>earlier, more confident IP choices<\/strong>\u2014reducing surprises later in the flow.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Early Bug Detection and High-Confidence IP Signoff<\/strong><br>Using <strong>Solido Crosscheck<\/strong> and <strong>IPdelta<\/strong>, attendees learned how to validate across multiple IP views and track regressions between releases. The value? <strong>Catching mismatches early<\/strong> and ensuring <strong>consistent IP delivery<\/strong> without late-stage rework.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>SPICE-Accurate Verification with Solido Design Environment<\/strong><br>Attendees saw how production-proven AI in <strong>Solido Design Environment <\/strong>helps designers achieve high accuracy and coverage for variation-aware verification at 3, 4, 5, and 6+ sigma targets..<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Generative and Agentic AI for Custom IC Design<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Through a series of compelling interactive demos, attendees experienced firsthand how <strong>Solido Generative and Agentic AI<\/strong> is seamlessly integrated across the Solido Custom IC platform. These advanced AI capabilities deliver measurable impact by accelerating time-to-market, reducing verification time, boosting designer proficiency, and streamlining designer-AI interaction and knowledge access through natural language integration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><br><strong>A Forum with Energy and Engagement<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The booths showcased the breadth of the Siemens EDA tool portfolio, as well as industry partners, &nbsp;creating a vibrant environment where attendees could see technology in action and engage directly with subject matter experts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\"
