Тема: Video from DVCon: ESL, Functional Verification, Methodology

Announcing three DVCon panel videos posted today by Demos on Demand:

http://www.demosondemand.com/dod/feat_cont/seminars/dvcon.aspx

 Sessions include:

* What's Next in Design and Verification Methodology?
(Moderator: Stephen Bailey)
With all the new languages and methods, what plans are there for adapting
existing or adopting new methodology and process flows? Is there one right
answer? Are there multiple paths? How important are languages? Is it
feasible to create reactive testbenches?  Where are the bottlenecks now?

* ESL: Can the US catch up?
(Moderator: Gary Smith)
Driven by chipset and IP vendors, Europe has widely adopted ESL. Japan is
fast moving into production on the merits of the SystemC "as-is"-with little
methodology infrastructure. The US, however, lags as emphasis is placed on
SystemVerilog. This panel reviews the status of ESL in the U.S. and the
strategies for expanding ESL for modeling, design and verification.

* Designing Quality In: The Better Design Paradigm
(Moderator: Gabe Moretti)
To help designers face extreme verification challenges, decisions must be
made about organizational structure (separate design/verification teams vs.
designers who also verify), specifications, reuse, level of abstraction,
etc. This panel explores why so much time is spent in functional
verification, as well as: what cultural and org changes must take place to
bring quality back to the forefront of design? Where is the measurable proof
of quality? How can we improve quality and reduce verification time?
