V for Verification

DVCon 2012 Breakdown

Welcome to the soothing waters of verification. Jump right in, the water is warm! This week’s Fish Fry is all about design verification and DVCon 2012. I sift through all of the details of this year’s show: the keynote, the various announcements unveiled at the show, the happy hour expo show hours and even the eerie decor of the Doubletree Hotel.  In a special DVCon interview double header I chat with both Shakeel Jeeawoody (Blue Pearl Software) about getting your constraints right for HDL-based designs, and I also chat with Anupam Bakshi (CEO – Agnisys) about how Agnisys is attacking a brand new part of the EDA/verification market. 

I also have yet another ultra fantastic MAX V CPLD Development kit (courtesy of Altera) to give away this week, but you’ll have to tune in to find out how to win.

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.
