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.

From Engines to Intelligence: Managing Verification at Massive Scale

Tuesday, March 3, 2026 12:30 pm — 1:30 pm

As chip designs grow more complex and software-driven, verification teams are running more engines, larger regressions, and deeper analyses than ever before—yet achieving confidence and closure often feels harder, not easier.

In this Siemens EDA–sponsored luncheon panel, industry experts and practitioners discuss how verification is evolving as designs scale beyond the practical limits of any single engine. Panelists will share the challenges of coordinating simulation, formal, emulation, prototyping, and verification data, along with the pragmatic approaches teams use today—combining advanced commercial solutions with in-house workflows layered on existing platforms.

Looking ahead, the discussion explores the shift from raw engine output to intelligence, including the role of AI technologies and emerging agentic approaches. The panel will examine how these capabilities are being explored—and in some cases applied—to interpret results, prioritize risk, and help verification engineers sustain confidence as scale continues to increase.
