We offer 50% discount to students, please complete this form to avail discount.
This session will be recorded and will be available to all registrants 1 week post-session.
Format: Hybrid: In-person and online
Overview
AI is rapidly transforming Design Verification (DV) — enabling engineers to automate testbench generation, improve coverage, and significantly reduce debug effort.
This hands-on half-day training provides a practical introduction to how Generative AI, Machine Learning, and intelligent automation can be applied across RTL and verification workflows.
Participants will not only learn key concepts, but also actively work through guided exercises using pre-configured cloud environments, ensuring immediate, real-world application.
Designed as a condensed version of our full-day training, this session delivers high-impact insights alongside practical, interactive experience to help engineers quickly understand where AI can deliver immediate value in DV projects.
⚠️ Important Setup Requirements (Please Read Carefully)
To ensure a smooth hands-on experience:
- You must bring your own laptop
- Mac users may require additional setup time (not preferred)
- All participants will receive login details in advance for a pre-configured AWS environment (with all required tools pre-installed)
👉 Please ensure you have access to your credentials before arrival to maximise hands-on time during the session.
