It\u2019s my favorite time of year again\u2014DVCon!\u00a0 And I believe that the DVCon 2015 technical program committee has put together one of the technically best DVCon\u2019s in years. In this blog I plan on highlighting a few DVCon events that you might want to put on your calendar.<\/p>\n

\"2015-DVCon\"<\/a><\/p>\n

First, at this year\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

Next, on Wednesday morning March 4 I have the honor of participating on a verification panel, titled: \u201cArt of Science.\u201d 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\u2014and one which is perceived as difficult to master. To learn my position on this topic, you\u2019ll have to stop by!<\/p>\n

Also on Wednesday at the Mentor sponsored lunch, my colleague Steve Bailey and I have put together both an informative and entertaining talk we\u2019ve title: \u201cFrom Tightly Coupled (Loosely Bolted) to Verification Convergence.\u201d 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<\/a>). 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\u2019s growing challenges.<\/p>\n

Finally, there are two tutorials I\u2019d like to encourage you to attend while at DVCon this year:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Advanced, High-Throughput Debug from Architectural Modeling Through Post-Silicon SoC Validation (click here for more details<\/a>)<\/li>\n
  2. 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<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I look forward to meeting you at DVCon 2015!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
