As always, the <a href=\"https:\/\/59dac.conference-program.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">program <\/a>will be full of great content, but I wanted to call your attention to one presentation in particular. Siemens EDA Executive VP Joe Sawicki will be presenting the first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dac.com\/Conference\/2022-SKYTalk-Speakers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SkyTalk <\/a>in the DAC Pavilion (<a href=\"https:\/\/hallerickson.ungerboeck.com\/prod\/app85.cshtml?AppCode=VFP&amp;OrgCode=17&amp;EvtID=5006&amp;CC=DAC22SM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Booth #2260<\/a>) on Monday at 1pm. Joe&#8217;s talk will be on &#8220;Delivering &#8216;Smarter&#8217; Faster: The Future of EDA &amp; AI.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Long-time readers of this blog may remember my &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/verificationhorizons\/2019\/03\/08\/cats-coverage\/\">Cats != Coverage<\/a>&#8221; post from a few years ago, where I argued that Machine Learning (in particular, Deep Learning) would not be able to solve the write-a-simple-test-and-have-ML-magically-achieve-coverage-closure problem. Fortunately, Joe takes a much broader view of the issues and will share with us his thoughts on the many areas of EDA where AI\/ML techniques can significantly decrease the computational load. The main focus of Joe&#8217;s talk will be on exploring where EDA should focus its resources and efforts to realize the full promise of incorporating AI. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since all SkyTalks are in the DAC Pavilion, they&#8217;re open to all conference attendees. Please be sure to stop by to hear Joe&#8217;s talk. It should be fun and informative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ll have a full wrap-up after DAC to share more details about not just Joe&#8217;s SkyTalk, but all the Siemens content presented at the conference. Stay tuned!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s hard to believe that the Design Automation Conference (DAC) is coming up in less than two weeks.
