Adventures in Verification Land

Rolling the Dice and Spinning the Wheel

Take two steps forward and three steps back. Not all parts of our design process are created equal. In this week’s Fish Fry, we examine one of the most painful, frightening, and frustrating parts of our design process – verification. My first guest is Tom Anderson (Breker Verification Systems), and we chat about formal verification, what Breker’s new verification technology TrekSoC-Si is all about, and where you can the best vinyl in Silicon Valley. Then, continuing the formal V theme – we go to Vigyan Singhal, CEO of Oski Technology. Vigyan and I dive into the details of the “Decoding Formal Club.” The first rule of “Decoding Formal Club”? Well, we’re gonna break that one right here. Vigyan also reveals the secret behind the name “Oski”. Also this week, I investigate how Netflix is looking to read your thoughts with a little help from Amazon’s Cloud services. Better put on that foil hat!

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.

The Future of Intelligent Devices is Here
Sponsored by Alif Semiconductor
In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton and Henrik Flodell from Alif Semiconductor explore the what, where, and how of Alif’s Ensemble 32-bit microcontrollers and fusion processors. They examine the autonomous intelligent power management, high on-chip integration and isolated security subsystem aspects of these 32-bit microcontrollers and fusion processors, the role that scalability plays in this processor family, and how you can utilize them for your next embedded design.
