Accellera Day Opens DVCon U.S. on Monday, February 27 with Three Timely Tutorials

Elk Grove, Calif., USA, February 21, 2017 – Accellera Systems Initiative (Accellera), the electronics industry organization focused on electronic design automation (EDA) and intellectual property (IP) standards, will host its annual Accellera Day on Monday, February 27. 

What/When/Where

Accellera Day opens DVCon U.S. 2017 on Monday, February 27 from 9:00am-5:00pm at the DoubleTree Hotel in San Jose, Calif. A booth crawl will be held during the Exhibition from 5:00pm-7:00pm.

Agenda:

9:00am-12:00pm

The first version of the Accellera Portable Test and Stimulus Standard (PSS) is nearing completion. This timely tutorial presents an introduction to the standard’s main features and will show with actual coding examples how the verification and portability challenges of these examples are met using the standard.

12:00pm-1:30pm

o   Accellera update given by Lu Dai, Accellera Chair

o   Accellera Technical Excellence Award Presentation

o   Town Hall discussion will cover such topics as: follow up questions from the Portable Stimulus morning tutorial, future directions for the UVM Working Group and the latest activity in the SystemC Working Groups.

2:00pm-5:00pm

The IEEE 1800 committee is completing work on UVM (Universal Verification Methodology) as the 1800.2 standard. This tutorial will review changes that improve UVM as a standard for interoperability and examine the impact it will have on existing verification environments.

  • Tutorial 3: “SystemC Design and Verification – Solidifying the Abstraction above RTL
    This tutorial will focus on three key components that could help raise the abstraction level: design, modeling, and testbench. Topics will include the latest advances in the SystemC language, modeling for high-performance simulation, and applying the emerging UVM-SystemC standard.

5:00pm -7:00pm

How MediaTek Optimizes SI Design with Cadence Optimality Explorer and Clarity 3D Solver

Sponsored by Cadence Design Systems

In the era of 5G/6G communication, signal integrity (SI) design considerations are important in high-speed interface design. MediaTek’s design process usually relies on human intuition, but with Cadence’s Optimality Intelligent System Explorer and Clarity 3D Solver, they’ve increased design productivity by 75X. The Optimality Explorer’s AI technology not only improves productivity, but also provides helpful insights and answers.

Designing Robust 5G Power Amplifiers for the Real World

Sponsored by Keysight

Simulating 5G power amplifier (PA) designs at the component and system levels with authentic modulation and high-fidelity behavioral models increases predictability, lowers risk, and shrinks schedules. Simulation software enables multi-technology layout and multi-domain analysis, evaluating the impacts of 5G PA design choices while delivering accurate results in a single virtual workspace. This application note delves into how authentic modulation enhances predictability and performance in 5G millimeter-wave systems.
