As always, the Mentor team was a substantial part of the program at this year\u2019s DVCon US. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 virus, the program was shortened since not all presenters nor registrants were able to attend. However, for those of you unable to attend, we are pleased to share with you some of the great technical content that Mentor folks contributed to the conference. All of these papers and presentations can be found at Verification Academy<\/a> (which will require a free registration if you are not already a member).<\/p>\n

Harry Foster was invited to fill in part of the abbreviated program by sharing some results and additional thoughts from a recent industry-wide survey he oversaw on \u201cFPGA Verification Maturity: A Quantitative Analysis.\u201d<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll also see our great Workshop presentation, \u201cMind the Gap(s): Closing and Creating Gaps Between Design and Verification.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rich Edelman and Chris Spear, both long-time colleagues and friends, won 2nd place for the Stu Sutherland Best Paper Award with \u201cUVM – Stop Hitting Your Brother Coding Guidelines.\u201d<\/p>\n

Our stellar Formal Verification team of Mark Eslinger, Jeremy Levitt and Joe Hupcey won 2nd place for the Best Poster Award with \u201cDeadlock Verification For Dummies \u2013 The Easy Way Using SVA and Formal.\u201d<\/p>\n
