The DV Digest: Illuminating the Information Space

In today’s verification ecosystem, knowledge is scattered across companies, projects and time-zones. The DV Digest was founded to improve the information space with a high-production-value interview series, where open-source collaboration can flourish. This session shows how The DV Digest has already linked cocotb, AVL and other Python initiatives, sped up cross-pollination of tools and thinking, and offered behind-the-scenes insights from the EDA world. We will explore what we’ve learnt about breaking information silos and where we see the next opportunities for unifying the verification community.
