About us

DVCon is the premier conference on the application of languages, tools, and methodologies for the design and verification of electronic systems and integrated circuits. The focus of the conference is the usage of specialized design and verification languages such as SystemVerilog, Verilog, VHDL, PSS, SystemC and e, as well as general purpose languages such as C, C++, Python, PERL and Tcl. Tools and methodologies include the use of artificial intelligence, machine learning, open-source software, hardware and architecture, testbench automation, hardware-assisted verification, hardware/software co-verification, formal verification, functional safety and security, transaction-level system design, high level synthesis, low power design techniques, 3D chip designs, IP-based SoC design methods, reference flows and Mixed Signal design and verification.
