Suite Panel Come to this "talk show" format session to hear from experts who will describe their multi-patterning trials and tribulations, and zero in on the critical factors that determine a successful outcome. This is a one-time only, limited seating event. Sign up today to reserve your spot.

Fasten Your Seatbelt - We’re Going to 14nm!

Tuesday, June 5, 02:00 PM – 03:00:PM

Suite Panel This panel will discuss the intricacies of IC design at 14nm and how the design enabling and manufacturing flow will change to meet the new physical challenges. This is a one-time only, limited seating event. Sign up today to reserve your spot.

10th Annual ESL Symposium Luncheon

Tuesday, June 5, 12:00 PM – 1:30 PM

Lunch We will discuss the role of software in addressing key system-level verification challenges, the requirements for introducing software at pre-silicon stages, and the need for multiple verification engines and design abstraction levels, such as Virtual platforms and emulation, to balance maximum system verification cycles for the system, software or hardware validation objectives.

Maximizing Productivity in Advanced SoC and Custom Design Flows with Calibre Integrations

Tuesday, June 5, 12:00 PM – 1:30 PM

Lunch Join us for lunch and learn how integrating Calibre at every step of the design flow enables you to march confidently from concept to tape-out. Calibre is the industry touchstone for physical and electrical verification and should be used at each stage of the design process, integrated with your design tools. Learn more & register

Pre-Silicon, Native Embedded Software Development Solutions

Monday, June 4, 8:30 AM – 10:30 AM

Tutorial In this session, we'll detail a process that eliminates the bottlenecks in embedded software development and verification by facilitating parallel hardware and software design. It allows hardware design teams to begin verification ahead of silicon, and software developers to work within their native software environment while relying on virtual and emulated representations of the design.
