Similar to 2020, DVCon Europe 2021 conference was set to be online in a virtual environment. AMIQ attended the conference from the viewer seat. My colleague, Ionut Ciocîrlan, orchestrated a nice article about the technical content of the conference. This article is a joint effort of several colleagues. Here are the Highlights of DVCon EU 2021.
DVClub Europe 2021, is another verification related conference. It is organized every year by Mike Bartley from TVS. This time the main focus of the conference was machine learning and artificial intelligence and their usage in EDA tools. The content of the conference was a mix of technical and marketing information. You can check out the slides/videos on TVS website. Cadence, Siemens and Brekker were the companies to showcase their ML and AI EDA capable tools.
From this conference I found out that Verifyter with their PinDown tool was acquired by Cadence and OneSpin was acquired by Siemens.
