From Tightly Coupled (Loosely Bolted) to Verification Convergence!
It’s my favorite time of year again—DVCon! And I believe that the DVCon 2015 technical program committee has put together one of the technically best DVCon’s in years. In this blog I plan on highlighting a few DVCon events that you might want to put on your calendar.
First, at this year’s conference the Verification Academy has a dedicated booth (#301), and I hope you stop by to say hello to myself, my friend Tom Fitzpatrick, and an amazing lineup of other Verification Academy subject matter experts.
Next, on Wednesday morning March 4 I have the honor of participating on a verification panel, titled: “Art of Science.” Here, my fellow panelist and I will debate the issue that verification today is considered by some to be more of an art than a science—and one which is perceived as difficult to master. To learn my position on this topic, you’ll have to stop by!
Also on Wednesday at the Mentor sponsored lunch, my colleague Steve Bailey and I have put together both an informative and entertaining talk we’ve title: “From Tightly Coupled (Loosely Bolted) to Verification Convergence.” Here, we discuss the state of verification past, present and future while examining the results from our recently industry world-wide study, which I started blogging about a few weeks ago (click here for more details). Our talk will examine how advanced techniques are taking hold in mainstream design and provide insights on the recent convergence of verification solutions to meet today’s growing challenges.
Finally, there are two tutorials I’d like to encourage you to attend while at DVCon this year:
- Advanced, High-Throughput Debug from Architectural Modeling Through Post-Silicon SoC Validation (click here for more details)
- Dead or Alive: Using Automated Formal Techniques to Characterize Dead Code, Reveal Paths to Hit Uncovered States, and Reach Coverage Closure Faster (click here for more details)
I look forward to meeting you at DVCon 2015!
