DVCon U.S. 2017 – Don’t Miss It!

The 4-day Program is loaded with educational and informative material applicable today


LOUISVILLE, Colo., Feb. 08, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The 2017 Design and Verification Conference and Exhibition U.S. (DVCon U.S.) will offer attendees a comprehensive selection of 39 papers, 9 tutorials, 19 posters, 2 panels, a special session on Functional Verification Industry Trends, and a keynote address by Anirudh Devgan, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Digital & Signoff Group and System & Verification Group at Cadence.   Sponsored by Accellera Systems Initiative, DVCon U.S. will be held February 27-March 2, 2017 at the DoubleTree Hotel in San Jose, California.

“DVCon has long been the technical and social highlight of the year for design and verification engineers,” stated Tom Fitzpatrick, DVCon U.S. 2017 Technical Program Chair.  “Through the hard work of a large team of dedicated reviewers, we have chosen the best of over one hundred submitted abstracts from deeply knowledgeable colleagues within the industry to help attendees learn how to improve their verification efforts. We also have two days of extended tutorials where attendees can get an in-depth look at the cutting edge of verification, not to mention the Exhibit Floor where over 30 companies will be demonstrating their latest tools and technologies.  In between, there are plenty of opportunities to network, relax and take advantage of a fun and welcoming atmosphere where attendees can reconnect with old friends and former colleagues or make new friends and contacts. The value of DVCon goes well beyond the wealth of information found in the Proceedings. Being there makes all the difference.”

Program Highlights Include:

  • Devgan’s keynote, “Tomorrow’s Verification Today,” will review the latest trends which are redefining verification from IP to System-level with an increasingly application-specific set of demands for hardware and software development.  It will be on Tuesday, February 28 from 1:30-2:30pm in the Oak/Fir Ballroom.
  • This year DVCon U.S. will offer a special session with Harry Foster, Chief Scientist for Mentor Graphics' Design Verification Technology Division.  Foster has been asked to present “Trends in Functional Verification: A 2016 Industry Study” based on the Wilson Research Group’s 2016 study. The findings from the 2016 study provide invaluable insight into the state of today’s electronics industry. It will be held on Tuesday, February 28 from 10:30-11:00am in the Fir Ballroom.
  • Two full days of in-depth tutorials: Accellera Day with three tutorials on Monday and sponsored tutorials on Thursday.  There are also many technical papers and posters and two intriguing panels. For the complete list of topics, visit here.
