Are you coming to DVCon this year? It’s right around the corner, but it’s not too late to register! DVCon is the flagship conference for all things functional design and verification, showcasing the freshest technologies, techniques, tips, and tricks.
Cadence will be in booth 702, bringing the newest tools and methodologies for working with complex silicon, SoCs, and systems. To check out the schedule, look at the link here.
Cadence will also be running two tutorials on Thursday, March 1: “Making Cars Safer – One Chip at a Time” and “SoC Verification Speed – More is Better.”
“Making Cars Safer” teaches about the future of autonomous cars. They’re not just theoretical anymore—in some areas of the world, self-driving cars are undergoing road tests right now. How can we be sure that the immensely complex systems of sensors, software, and mechanical components will remain functional for the lifetime of the vehicle? All sorts of things can happen to a chip in a self-driving car, and “Making Cars Safer” aims to educate about the verification processes and new methodologies used to ensure that no matter what stressors a chip undergoes, it’ll keep on trucking for the life of the vehicle.
“SoC Verification Speed” covers a topic that seems self-explanatory. Obviously, making a verification engine faster makes verification closure come sooner. That being said, the implementation of that statement is a lot more complex. SoCs are more complicated than ever, incorporating new and old designs, directed and randomized tests, all sorts of different IPs, and more. It’s not just about faster engines—now, there’s a need for a greater number of fast engines, and for those engines to work in a more unified manner. In this tutorial, you’ll see how Cadence is using these engines to enhance SoC verification speed. We’ll talk about both formal and simulation in the context of speed, too—in fact, the whole tutorial is all about speed. More engines, faster engines, more faster engines, and so on.
