Asymptotic or Divergent: Three Verification Managers Look to the Future at DAC

Monday, May 5th, 2014

What would the Design Automation Conference (DAC) be without a verification panel or two? This year, one in particular takes a look at a variety of verification technologies. Titled, “The Asymptote of Verification,” it will be moderated by Bryon Moyer of EE Journal and held Monday, June 2, from 5:15 p.m. until 6 p.m. in the Pavilion (Booth #313) on the exhibit floor.

Proposed and organized by Graham Bell of Real Intent, users make up the panel and include Brian Hunter of Cavium, Holger Busch at Infineon Technologies and Bill Steinmetz from NVIDIA. Special thanks go to Breker, OneSpin and Real Intent for securing these three experts who will share their real-world experiences with formal verification, static RTL analysis, and graph-based verification. Oh yes, they are users of Breker, OneSpin and Real Intent tools.

Professional and aspiring engineers and designers cannot do their job these days without specialized applications for 3D modeling, digital content creation, and computer aided engineering and design such as Adobe Creative Cloud and AutoCAD. The problem is, for some, they’re being forced to run these applications on notebooks or desktops that don’t have enough power to generate the performance they need because they can’t afford a traditional workstation.
