WELCOME TO DVCON INDIA 2016
GAURAV JALAN
General Chair - Aricent
I am pleased to welcome you all to the 3rd edition of DVCon India planned for 15-16, September 2016 at the Leela
Palace Hotel, Bangalore.
DVCon India is a must attend conference dedicated to design and verification of IPs, SoCs and electronic systems. The
conference provides an excellent platform for attendees to discuss, network and contribute to the standards, flows and
methodologies enabling silicon product realization. Following the grand success of DVCon US, the Indian edition of this
conference has been receiving overwhelming response for the last two years.
Today, the semiconductor industry is experiencing a major change in its landscape. Post the PC & mobile era, all eyes
are on IoT which is an ecosystem of interconnected devices that are high on performance, low on power consumption,
cheap and highly customized to the end user expectations. This requires a paradigm shift in how we design and
develop designs enabling first silicon success faster than ever before. Starting from the concept exploration at the
system level and bringing it down to the IPs interconnected on the SoC, DVCon India touches different aspects of
design and verification. The discussions and information exchange covers a wide variety of topics, representing the
latest developments and future trends in this domain.
The committee has worked relentlessly to come up with a 2 day packed agenda covering keynotes from industry
luminaries, tutorials from the gurus, panel discussions with experts, papers and posters from the fraternity. Attendees
are free to choose between ESL and DV track based on the topics of interest and learn further from whats next at the
exhibitor stalls. Both the days provide multiple opportunities to network and connect with the peers in the industry.
The technical sessions are spiced up with a lot of fun at the gala dinner on DAY 1. With a track record of more than 600
experts, representing 80+ organizations from all over the world, DVCon India is a unique conference for all members of
the semiconductor ecosystem.
I am looking forward to meet you and join hands to connect, contribute and celebrate at DVCon India 2016!

community of companies, individuals and organizations in delivering the standards
that lower the cost to design commercial EDA, IC and embedded system solutions. As
a result of its partnership with the IEEE, Accellera standards are transferred to the
IEEE Standards Association for formalization and ongoing change control.
Accellera Systems Initiative: A New Synergy for Standards
System, software, and semiconductor design are converging to meet the increasing challenges to create complex integrated
circuits and system on chips. This convergence has brought to the forefront the need for a single organization to facilitate the
creation of system-level, semiconductor design, and verification standards. Leading industry standards associations Accellera
Organization Inc. and the Open SystemC Initiative (OSCI) merged in 2011 to form a single organization, Accellera Systems Initiative,
to address the needs of the system and semiconductor designers who must find new and smarter ways to create and produce
increasingly complex chips. The new organization will evolve to create more comprehensive standards that benefit the global
electronic design community.

Invited Keynote - A Make in India Roadmap for

Systems Engineering by RISE Group, IIT Madras
Government of India has begun a major
drive for Make in India initiative. There
are many major drives of this initiative on electronic systems.
Needless to say that computation and communication are
the critical and primary areas where electronic systems are
deployed. The work at RISE LAB-IIT-Madras keeping the broad
picture in Mind has come up with a Secure Computation
and Communication frame work. The frame work and its
components are envisaged designed developed and tested at
RISE LAB CSE Department IIT Madras, thus making it a true
Make in India Initiative.
The existing systems which are available have following short
falls:
They are commercially off the shelf solutions offered by
Foreign Vendors.
Possible presence of NoWn Verifiable Trojans and Malwares.
Not truly End to End Secured
Our Focus or work consists of the following:
1. A complete end to end secured communication and
compute system frame work with the following
components.
Secure I.M.P (Shakti) Processor Family.
S .C.I.O.N (Scalability Control and Isolation on Next
generation Networks) Framework
Secured Tablet
Secured Network Switch
Secured Network Router
Secure IOT End device
Secure NAVIC/IRNSS (Anti-Jam) Hand Held Receivers
2. A testing frame work for potential reverse engineering of

the above system using Side Channel analysis.
3.A verification frame work for Security of Cryptographic
Implementations in the above systems.
Relevance to the Nations SECURITY and DEFENSE:
The proposed secured systems along with testing and
verification framework offer the following unique advantages
which highlights its relevance.
Indigenously developed End to End security in a typical
communication network.
Difficult to reverse engineer the system and its components.
Formal certification of cryptographic implementation to
overcome.
- Lack of complete control over design components and
the product features to suit specific needs of Defense and
other strategic establishments.
- Lack of End to End Security at the end device hardware
plane.

ESL Invited Keynote - Microprocessors to Smartphones

to Autonomous Cars to Deep Learning
Time: 11:30am - 12:10pm | Room: Royal Ballroom
Biography:
Subrangshu started his career in 1999 as Member Technical
Staff in Hewlett Packard Microprocessor Labs in Fort Collins,
Colorado.
Since the introduction of 4004 in 1971, the

primary driver for all design development
and EDA flows around it has been MOSFET miniaturization.
Chip designers have strived and streamlined their design in
anticipation of an end-application. The winner most often has
been the team or the company that anticipates the killer endapplication well in advance.
After returning back from USA in 2001, he joined Texas

Instruments, where he spent more than 13 years developing
IPs and SOCs for catalog, wireless, industrial and automotive
sectors.His last role in TI was Director, Platform and SOC
Development in Processor BU.
In the 1990s, these end-applications were desktop computing.

Resulting in the emergence of multi-core architectures. In the
2000s, these end-applications have been mobile computing.
Resulting in breakthroughs on low power, interconnect and
memory performance management architectures.
In 2014, Subrangshu joined Canon, where he is currently

Senior Director & Head of India Systems Development Center
(ISDC) - R&D division of Canon India. In ISDC, his team is
involved in developing next generation embedded platform
solutions across both hardware and software. These solutions
are then used across different business groups in Canon.
Subrangshu has done his B Tech in Electrical Engineering
from IIT Kanpur and MS in Electrical Engineering and
Computer Science from University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
He has four patents granted to him and has authored 14
papers including a tutorial in external technical conferences.
In his spare time, he can be seen playing badminton and
sometimes table tennis.
So what will be killer end-application for the next decade?

In the last 3 years, visual computing has seen a revolution
of sorts. With the shared emergence of Machine Learning
and Large Visual datasets, we are witnessing a time where
methods such as Deep Learning are outperforming traditional
rule-based algorithms. Autonomous cars are one endapplication we are witnessing. But thats just a tip of the
ice-berg. The possibilities on visual computing driven by Deep
Learning technology are immense. If so, then how would it
impact the overall system architecture and the ESL flows
around it?
Speakers:
This talk will look back at the application/technology/Design

Abstraction trends of the last 45+ years, ESL evolution &
contribution to design industry and share a few thoughts on
how the same might look like in the next decade or so.

DV Keynote - Verification for Complex SOCs

Time: 11:30am - 12:10pm | Room: Grand Ballroom
Biography:
Alok Jain is a Senior Group Director in the Advanced
Verification business unit at Cadence. He is serving as the
R&D lead for the simulation performance program. He has
a PhD in the area of Formal Verification from Electrical and
Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University,
USA. He has around 20 years of industry experience. His
expertise includes RTL functional verification, gate-level
verification, coverage, metric driven verification and formal
verification. He has 30+ technical papers in internal and
external conferences and 10+ granted patents in the area of
RTL simulation, Formal verification and transistor analysis.
Verifying a complex SoC consisting of tens

of embedded cores and hundreds of IPs,
with complex low power design features
is a major challenge in the industry today. The focus of this
keynote will be on the challenges and potential solutions
for the verification of complex SoCs. Given the size and
complexity of modern SoCs, tests can run for 18 - 24 hours or
even more. The first challenge is the need for speed and how
to get the best verification throughput. Another challenge
is how to rapidly develop all the required test benches
required for verifying an SoC. The test benches have to be
developed in a way which can achieve good performance
in both simulation and hardware acceleration. Yet another
challenge is how to create all the tests required to stress the
SoC under the application use cases, low power scenarios,
and multi-core coherency scenarios. The tests have to be
developed in a way that they can be reused across pre-silicon
and post-silicon verification and validation platforms. One
has to figure out how to measure verification coverage
across formal, simulation, and acceleration platforms at the
SoC level to know when you are done. Finally, there is the
challenge of how to effectively debug across RTL, test bench,
and embedded software on multiple verification platforms.

DV Panel: The Future Verification Flow

Time: 12:10pm - 1:00pm | Room: Grand Ballroom
Moderator:
Lauro Rizzatti - Rizzatti LLC
Hardware emulation has come a long way in the last five
years with greater versatility, more robust features and a
growing number of use models. Its well noted as a flexible
tool used throughout the verification process for hardware
development and hardware/software integration. In fact,
its destined to overtake simulation as the foundation of
the next-generation verification flow, say pundits of the
semiconductor industry. Or will it? Simulation has been
an effective verification tool for many years and is now
supported by formal verification, something emulation
cant claim. Standards have contributed to simulations
longevity, but they are not present in the hardware emulation
calculation. The panel will take a hard look at emulation
versus simulation in the verification flow. Questions about the
effectiveness of a simulation/formal verification flow versus
a simulation/emulation flow will stimulate a lively debate.
Pricing will be addressed as well. Each panelist will be asked
to predict whats coming next in the evolution of verification.
Lauro Rizzatti will act as moderator and three panelists will
offer their technical expertise and hands-on experience.
Intended Audience: Hardware designers, software developers,

verification engineers and engineering managers concerned
with the growing complexity of chip design verification.
Controversy: While hardware emulation is grabbing great
appeal with project development teams, many longtime
users of simulation are not ready to abandon it just yet. The
question to be debated is whether emulation will become the
de facto verification tool replacing simulation? If so, what

ESL Tutorial: A Verification Methodology for High-level

Synthesis - From C++/SystemC to RTL Signoff
Organizer:
Ellie Burns-Brookens - Mentor Graphics Corp.
High-level Synthesis (HLS) has been proven to dramatically
speed up simulation and reduce overall design/project
times and verification is a big piece of the savings. Multiple
customers are seeing 10-100X speedup in simulation time
leading to faster and more complete verification. However,
the deployment of HLS into mainstream corporate design
flows really requires an end-to-end solution, with a
verification methodology being a critical component for both
the C++/SystemC design description and the generated RTL.
More and more engineers are asking How do I verify my C++/
SystemC and know its good for synthesis? Is it possible to reuse my C++/SystemC vectors on my RTL easily? How do I close
on RTL coverage? My corporate signoff requirement is 100%
coverage on RTL, how long will that take to achieve? How do
I perform an ECO?
What the tutorial will include:

Basics concepts of HLS
Overview of a High-level Design and Verification flow
Introduction of use of formal C property checking to verify
the HLS source is clean for synthesis
Closing on coverage for the HLS source
Basic synthesis flow to perform design space exploration for
area, performance, and power
Re-Use of high level verification model and test vectors in
RTL simulation for closure
Using existing RTL verification tools and methodologies to
close on 100% RTL coverage
Fundamentals of performing an ECO with HLS
Who should attend the tutorial:
Hardware engineers interested in learning about Catapult
High-level Synthesis and Verification flow
Verification engineers interested in HLS and how to close
coverage on the generated RTL
Engineering managers who want to understand how
Catapult can fit into their existing design flow
This tutorial will provide an overview of a high-level

synthesis design and verification methodology that has been
proven in customer production environments that takes
the design from a C reference model through RTL coverage
closure. It will highlight results from various customers
on the benefits of using a unified HLS and HLV(High-level
Verification) methodology in terms of overall productivity
and specific metrics(performance, turn-around time of late
changes in specification, time to close RTL coverage vs handcoded RTL) on production projects.

Accellera Tutorial: How Portable Stimulus Addresses Key

Verification, Test Reuse, and Portability Challenges
Time: 2:00pm - 3:30pm | Room: Kamal
57.1 Motivation for a Standard
Faris Khundakjie - Intel Corp.
Pradeep Salla - Mentor Graphics (India) Pvt. Ltd.
Organizer:
Larry Melling - Accellera Systems Initiative
Portability of reusable test cases has long been a goal for
semiconductor verification and validation teams. No one
wants to reinvent the wheel by having to rewrite similar
tests again and again. The widely accepted Accellera
Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) standard enabled
reuse of testbench components and constrained-random tests
at the IP (block) level, but limitations in terms of reuse at
subsystem and full-chip level, and lack of portability across
execution platforms, required a fresh look at addressing the
portable stimulus and test challenge. The upcoming Accellera
portable test and stimulus standard (PSS) specification will
permit the creation of a reusable model for a variety of
users across different levels of integration under different
configurations. This model will enable the generation of
different test implementations for multiple execution
platforms, including IP simulation, full system-on-chip (SoC)
simulation, emulation, FPGA prototyping, and silicon. With
such a standard in place, EDA vendors can produce tools that
automatically generate stimulus, results checks, and coverage
metrics tuned for a particular target platform. This tutorial
will examine unique portable stimulus challenges such as
linking verification to diagnostics and software, portability
to every platform, and resource management. The tutorial
outlines a set of common usage examples that emphasize
specific verification, reuse, and portability challenges.
Verification challenges include randomization of both data
and control flow. Reuse challenges include migrating tests
from IP level to SoC. Portability challenges include growing
tests to improve coverage when running on faster platforms
and executing at the full platform speed. Finally, the tutorial
will show how portable stimulus can address the usage
examples.

DV Tutorial: Advanced Validation and Functional Verification

Techniques for Complex Low Power System-on-Chips
Time: 2:00pm - 3:30pm | Room: Diya
Driven by process technology needs, government legislation,
and continued product integration and miniaturization,
reducing power consumption is a mainstream primary
design requirement for many industry segments; including
networking, mobile, consumer, and IoT markets.
Mentor Graphics and customers will discuss new trends in

the use of EDA tools for the functional verification of power
managed designs.
The following will also be discussed in this tutorial:
Application of Static Power aware checking techniques.
Power-aware simulation for early verification of the logical
power management architecture captured in the constraints
and configuration UPFs as well as the technology specific
implementation UPF necessary for implementation tools.
Specifically, we will explore coverage closure and debug
adapted for power aware simulations.
Leveraging emulation technology for verification of power
management logic interactions with system software and
for estimation of system power consumption under realistic
software loads.
Introduction to system-level power modelling at the SystemC
level of abstraction.
More designs now employ sophisticated power management

techniques. For example, design teams implement more power
domains per design with each power domain placed in many
different power states that balances power consumption with
system performance requirements, leading to an exponential
growth in power domain interactions that must be thoroughly
verified.
Since overall system power management is usually handled
in software, software interactions with hardware power
management logic must be verified. Furthermore, designers
need to ensure that the entire system stays within its power
budget as it traverses its legal power state space. Finally, it
is imperative that power management strategies and their
verification begin as early as possible in order to facilitate and
maximize power saving opportunities at the architectural level.
Speakers:
Srikanth Nuni - Mentor Graphics (India) Pvt. Ltd.
Praveen Shukla - Mentor Graphics (India) Pvt. Ltd.
In this tutorial, you will learn the latest advances in power

architecture specification, leveraging existing UPF standards
and emerging low-power design methodologiessuch as
Successive Refinement UPF methodology. You will also
learn how new constructs in IEEE p1801 2015 aka UPF 3.0 can
facilitate power modelling at high levels of abstraction and
improve application of Successive Refinement methodology.

DV Tutorial: It All Starts with Quality Design

Time: 2:00pm - 3:30pm | Room: Sitara
We preach that the earlier we fix a problem the lower the cost
of the fix. When applied to electronics that notion created the
verification engineer and an array of automation tools and
standards to make those engineers efficient. Hidden behind
the brilliance of verification is one important fact: design is the
starting point. To practice what we preach, we must put more
focus on design and provide designers with automation tools so
every project starts faster with higher quality.
We will conduct a code review of an abstract model exploring

how to use these compact designs to create efficient RTL to
meet your spec. From there well focus on one of the most
challenging design and verification problems today clock
domain crossing verification and how to apply formal
analysis to solve it. Finally, well look at advances in root cause
analysis debug and the connection between designers and
verification engineers to resolve challenging bugs. Engineering
experts will present each topic using code examples and case
studies that you can take back to your project and immediately
apply.
The challenge is that design is under massive pressure.

Individual designers are now managing tens of thousands of
lines of RTL code. Moreover, they are increasingly responsible
for unit testing and initial quality of their designs. Since they
dont have time to learn verifications software engineering
they need to find efficient ways to improve quality. While
it might seem easy to just rely on verification engineers to
identify bugs, the designer is the one who knows their code
best. The good news is that this tutorial will reveal novel
technologies that are here today to both make the designers
more efficient and to increase the quality of their designs.

ESL Tutorial: Hybrid Solution Combining Hardware Emulation

and Virtual Prototyping for Early Software Development
This tutorial will discuss the key elements for developing
an effective virtual platform and emulation hybrid for early
software development and validation. For example, to achieve
maximum software execution speed on the virtual platform
portion, the fast processor models must use the Direct
Memory Interface (DMI) requiring the memory to exist in
the virtual platform. The tutorial will discuss the importance
and the implications that this requirement imposes on
developing an effective hybrid that integrates two domains
in one environment and effectively manages the crossdomain memory traffic while maintaining software execution
performance.
As companies tackle the ever increasing complexity of

system development, SW development tasks of bring-up and
validation are becoming a significant cost, effecting time to
market and overall system quality. Traditional approaches of
Virtual prototyping, emulation and FPGA prototyping are not
able to address this SW development challenge by themselves.
Virtual prototyping while providing a very fast SW execution
platform, requires resourcing its own development resulting
in separate and abstracted implementation of the SOC design
components.
FPGA prototyping is highly accurate and runs fast enough
to validate large SW stacks but usually lacks the capacity
and debug visibility to really accelerate complex system
development and validation. Furthermore, they are often
very difficult to create requiring expertise in FPGA design and
timing closure.
Using an emulation and virtual prototype hybrid, companies

are able to start software development at least six months
earlier than usual, and run production software and target
above OS software tests pre-tapeout resulting in faster
production software integration when first silicon arrives.
Emulation provides the capacity and accuracy directly

leveraging the RTL design, but it lacks the speed to execute an
OS stack and OS based testing in any reasonable time.
What you will learn:

New methodology for SW development and how it combines
two independent methodologies for performance, all along
reusing the same production SW
Different pieces in this new methodology and what it takes
to create a hybrid platform for SW
Advantages and sweet spots for Hybrid methodology
Case studies
System development companies need a hybrid solution

that gives sufficient accuracy and speed early in the system
development schedule to meet their aggressive time to
market goals with high quality. Such a Hybrid solution
abstracts out portions of the design where the accuracy is
not required in virtual prototype, and keeps the exact timed
RTL model for the portions needed to be HW accurate in
emulation platform. This combines the best of two worlds
without changing anything in the production SW and with
minimal impact to the SOC design.
Speakers:
Praveen Tiwari - Cadence Design Systems, Inc.
The Hybrid methodology is primarily targeted for OS bring-up

and OS based software stack development kernels, drivers,
firmware, and software applications running on top of OS.
A classic use model targets the CPU subsystem to run on a
virtual platform based on industry standard Fast Models, and
the rest of the SOC in hardware emulation.

DV Tutorial: An Industry Proven UVM Reuse Methodology for

Coverage Driven Block Level Verification to Software Driven
Chip Level Verification Across Simulation and Emulation
The increased use of processor cores, RTL reuse and software
applications challenges semiconductor development
schedules. Efficient and thorough RTL subsystem verification
requires a coverage driven verification methodology at
the block level. Verification of subsystem integration and
interaction requires VIP and software driven methodology
at the full chip level. Software and hardware co-simulation
is required for pre-silicon software validation. Product
schedules do not allow for development of separate
environments for block, chip and software testing. The UVM
reuse methodology presented in this tutorial provides reuse
from block to chip to software testing in simulation and
emulation. This open source library defines a UVM use model,
provides a UVM jumpstart and includes a code generator. It
has been proven across multiple industries using FPGA and
ASIC.

DV Tutorial: Using Portable Stimulus for SoC Verification as

Applied on Mobile, Networking, and Server Designs
Developers are facing processor architectures in a large
variety of devices, from sensors through mobile and consumer
devices all the way to networks and servers enabling cloudbased applications. System on chip (SoC) designs include more
and more processor cores, more IP, complex power control,
coherent interconnect, and complex software-controlled
operations. Verification is undergoing a transformation
to novel software-driven approaches, introducing unique
challenges in terms of writing tests for the complex
interactions at the subsystem and SoC level.
Ensuring that expected performance targets are achieved
is becoming more and more difficult due to the number of
processors and the expanding configuration choices of system
interconnect. Developing hardware and software in parallel is
often facing significant barriers: Suitable models for all the IP
blocks may not be available, and when they are available, they
may be in RTL only, lacking corresponding transaction-level
models.
What you will learn?

Innovative approaches to software-driven verification,
building on proven model-based software testing
approaches, allowing capture system actions, pre-conditions,
post conditions, and resource requirements to validate
SoC-level features and generate portable stimuli including
coverage analysis
How to achieve 10X faster SoC performance analysis and
verification of ARM CoreLink IP-based systems

DV Tutorial: Thinking Ahead - Advanced Verification and Debug

Techniques for the Imminent IoT Wave
Every decade or so, a technology wave emerges and drives
innovation across the board from silicon to software. As the
smartphone hands over the baton to the new game in town Internet of Things (IoT), chip design is faced with additional
challenges on top of smaller and faster. IoT devices demand
a unique mix of design requirements broader diversity
in applications with significant mixed-signal functionality,
growing software content, reduced power consumption,
shorter design cycle and lower cost. This translates to an
exponential increase in design and verification complexity.
In this tutorial, we will highlight best practices in debug

aimed at verifying increased functionality with the shortest
turn-around time.
These include automated x-tracing for RTL, on-the-fly
assertion debug, transaction debug for protocols, interactive
testbench debug for root cause identification, and whatif analysis to accelerate constrained-random verification.
Additionally, we will discuss techniques to quickly identify,
isolate and debug failures in low-power and mixed-signal
verification environments. Overall, we will show how IoT
verification challenges are addressed by a combination of
integrated verification and debug methodologies. Attendees
will learn techniques that they can put to immediate use as
they prepare for the imminent IoT wave.
As verification teams migrate to SystemVerilog and UVM

class-based testbenches for higher efficiency and increased
verification reuse across projects, debug methodology needs
to scale commensurately in order to effectively realize the
benefits of this migration.

Chair:
Deepak Gupta - Synapse Design

Day by day SoCs are becoming large and complex so the
verification of these SoCs. The verification strategy plays a
key role in time to market and discovering real bugs. This
track covers how the verification of multi tier processor based
designs with many IP cores can be optimized for achieved
desired verification goals and Time To Market.
For a multi processor system, the key challenge is always
to write a right stimulus to target desired functional areas.
However, with help of processor abilities these challenges
can be mellow down a lot. The other challenges are interfaces
between different IP blocks and configurations for each IP.
As each IP are developed in isolation, integrating them in SoC
may lead to may unintended connectivity or configuration
issues. These few talks will highlight some of the verification
challenges and their solutions.
