DVCon India 2023 Begins
On behalf of the DVCon India 2023 steering committee, it is my pleasure to welcome you all to the 8th edition of the Design and Verification Conference in India planned from 13- 14th September 2023 as an In-Person conference. We want to carry forward the momentum, excitement and the enthusiasm witnessed during last year’s edition into DVCon India 2023. The conference would be following the contemporary Indian version of a two-day conference with in-depth technical content spreading across both the days. We thank you all and the entire ecosystem for the understanding and cooperation throughout this journey.
This year’s edition will have a good blend of Vision and Keynote talks, lively panel discussions tutorials and technical sessions spread across both the days. We are looking at some of the feedback and see how to set an agenda that provides…
Special thanks to all our attendees, speakers, exhibitors, sponsors, and everyone who made DVCon India 2022 a success!

Design verification is one of the most expensive and tedious activities undertaken in electronic system development. Advances in machine learning (ML) algorithms, software and practices in the last few years have given verification engineers a powerful suite of tools to attack this problem. Verification tool builders have leveraged these ML advances to accelerate coverage closure, generate better simulation distributions, and improve core verification algorithms. We will explore how exploiting supervised, unsupervised and reinforcement learning have enabled order of magnitude gains in closure convergence and verification cycle reduction.

Some technologies emerge from a standard, other standards emerge from existing technologies. Our industry is in a constant struggle between innovation and stability. Standardization efforts need to strike a balance between these two driving factors. We will look at the timelines for some current standards to see which came first. Then look at a few emerging technologies to what comes next.

Title: Verification Architect
Company: Siemens EDA
Multiple surveys suggest that verification continues to take a larger percentage of ASIC pre-silicon development effort and time (typically 60 – 70%) and companies continue to adopt newer methodologies and technologies to increase productivity, quality and time-to-market. However, there are barriers to adoption of such technologies. From the perspective of an engineering manager, new verification techniques should reduce effort and budget whilst improving project schedule, productivity and design quality to help ensure first-pass silicon success. However, it is not always clear which techniques will achieve these for their specific products and development flows and once selected how they can be seamlessly incorporated into existing flows where their benefits can be realised and, ideally, measured. This talk will look at a range of verification techniques and improvements and provide suggestions on how they can be assessed, selected and adopted to make a positive contribution to key project metrics.

Title: SVP – VLSI BU
Company: Tessolve Semiconductor Pvt. Ltd.
The semiconductor industry is projected to hit $1T in revenue in five years’ time. We will outline the main growth drivers fueling this growth and the resultant areas of exploding complexity that must be managed to achieve the growth. Meeting this challenge requires huge increases in verification throughput that can only be met with verification flows utilizing smart management of multiple different software and hardware verification engines. Machine learning will be a critical technology, for both management and engine-level, to enable meeting the verification challenge.
