HDLCon Renamed Design and Verification Conference & Exhibition; Expanded Forum Highlights Design, Verification Languages and Techniques.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers DVCon BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 8, 2002 The twelve year old Hardware Description Language (language) Hardware Description Language - (HDL) A kind of language used for the conceptual design of integrated circuits. Examples are VHDL and Verilog. Conference (HDLCon), the annual conference concentrating on the vital business and technology practices required by systems and semiconductor companies to accelerate design processes and improve chip functionality and performance, today announced it has been renamed to the Design and Verification Conference and Exhibition (DVCon) to emphasize the important role that verification languages and techniques play in the design of electronic systems and integrated circuits Integrated circuits Miniature electronic circuits produced within and upon a single semiconductor crystal, usually silicon. Integrated circuits range in complexity from simple logic circuits and amplifiers, about 1/20 in. (1. . The expanded focus comes as the need for efficient design and verification languages have become extremely critical to semiconductor designs, advancing the growing popularity of assertion-centric verification. Accellera, an electronics industry organization driving the development of language-based standards for electronic design, will continue to sponsor the conference. "The new conference name, DVCon, is both necessary and appropriate," said Frank Weiler, General Chair, DVCon 2003. "It opens the conference to include verification languages, as well as hardware description languages and software implementations, and is now a more comprehensive forum to fully explore language solutions to both implement and verify hardware virtual prototypes, one of the key requirements for successful silicon implementation." DVCon will be held February 24-26, 2003 in San Jose San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , CA and proposals for technical papers, tutorials and panel sessions are currently being accepted. The deadline of the paper submission is October 15. For further information visit www.dvcon.org About DVCON DVCon (formerly called HDLCon) is the premier conference on the usage of Hardware Description Languages (HDLs), and Hardware Verification Languages A Hardware Verification Language, or HVL, is a programming language used to verify the designs of electronic circuits written in a hardware description language. HVLs typically include features of a high-level programming language like C++ or Java as well as features for (HVLs) for the design and verification of electronic systems and integrated circuits. The focus of the conference is on specialized languages such as VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language) A hardware description language (HDL) used to design electronic systems at the component, board and system level. VHDL allows models to be developed at a very high level of abstraction. , Verilog, SystemVerilog, SystemC, SUPERLOG, e and VERA VERA Virtual Entity of Relevant Acronyms VERA Virtual Electronic Resource Access VERA Vienna Environmental Research Accelerator VERA Verzeichnis Edv-Relevanter Akronyme (German: Virtual Entity of Relevant Acronyms; website) , as well as general-purpose languages such as C, and C++. Conference attendees are primarily designers of electronic systems, ASICs and FPGAs, as well as those involved in the research, development and application of Electronic Design Automation (EDA (1) (Electronic Design Automation) Using the computer to design, lay out, verify and simulate the performance of electronic circuits on a chip or printed circuit board. ) tools. About Accellera Accellera is an electronics industry organization that drives the worldwide development and use of standards required by systems, semiconductor and design tool companies that enhance a language-based design automation process. This includes support of technical groups involved with developing standards for IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. 1364 or Verilog HDL (Hardware Description Language) A language used to describe the functions of an electronic circuit for documentation, simulation or logic synthesis (or all three). Although many proprietary HDLs have been developed, Verilog and VHDL are the major standards. and IEEE 1076 or VHDL. For more information visit www.accellera.org.
