Abstract:

Buckle up, fellow tech explorers! The ever-changing landscape of semiconductor design is calling for a cosmic paradigm shift in how we conquer upcoming verification challenges. Sure, we’ve zoomed towards faster and more efficient verification methodologies thanks to tech wizardry, but we can’t warp past the fact that sheer speed alone won’t guarantee us complete solutions. As we reach for new frontiers, the complexity of design and verification tasks skyrockets, beaming us towards an urgent need to harness the power of intelligence.

Get ready for a keynote that takes you on a thrilling journey, exploring the vital role of smarter solutions in the design and verification process. It’s not just about speed, fellow adventurers! We’ll boldly discuss the factors that highlight the limitations of solely relying on speed, all while shining a spotlight on the pressing demand for intelligent EDA solutions. Brace yourselves for a universe of possibilities, where performance optimization and tackling intricate design and verification challenges go hand in hand with intelligent solutions.
