Accellera Systems Initiative is an independent, not-for profit organization dedicated to create, support, promote, and advance system-level design, modeling, and verification standards for use by the worldwide electronics industry. We are composed of a broad range of members that fully support the work of our technical committee to develop technology standards that are balanced, open, and benefit the worldwide electronics industry. Leading companies and semiconductor manufacturers around the world are using our electronic design automation (EDA) and intellectual property (IP) standards in a wide range of projects in numerous application areas to develop consumer, mobile, wireless, automotive, and other “smart” electronic devices. Through an ongoing partnership with the IEEE, standards and technical implementations developed by Accellera Systems Initiative are contributed to the IEEE for formal standardization and ongoing governance.
Companies in the semiconductor and systems industry are in a new, transformative design and verification cycle; driven by trends like the move from monolithic SoCs to chiplets, AI/ML and specialized accelerators, and end-product specific applications. There are very few markets that are immune to these transformational dynamics. And as the pace of change in design and verification continues to break current flows, the demands for new innovative tools, flows, and methodologies to support those changes increases exponentially.
In this discussion, Ron Wilson, industry veteran, invites the panelists to address the challenges of transformation in the design, verification, and validation landscape, and provide insight into what lies ahead in 2024.
