From Algorithm to Verified Silicon: Accelerating Semiconductor Design with Model-Based Design, Shift-Left Verification, and AI
Overview
As semiconductor devices grow in complexity, engineering teams face increasing pressure to meet ambitious performance, power, schedule, and quality objectives. This presentation explores how Model-Based Design and shift-left verification methodologies help teams identify and resolve issues earlier in the development process.
Attendees will learn how Model-Based Design supports workflows spanning algorithm development, architectural exploration, HDL generation, high-level synthesis (HLS), and verification. The session also examines the emerging role of agentic AI and highlights real-life case studies demonstrating improved productivity, design quality, and time to silicon.
Key Points
- Model-Based Design plus shift-left verification helps resolve issues earlier
- Workflows include algorithm development, architecture exploration, implementation and verification.
- Closer collaboration among teams and continuous verification are natural results of this approach.
