Call for papers: Digital Design and Verification with Chisel (DDVC)

https://dsd-seaa2023.com/ddvc/

Performance increase with general-purpose processors has come to a halt. We can no longer depend on Moore’s Law to increase computing performance. Building domain-specific hardware accelerators are the only way to achieve higher performance or lower energy consumption. Up to date, hardware design has been a hard, as we are using tools and languages from the last century.

We can learn from software development trends such as agile software development to efficiently develop and verify those accelerators. Chisel as domain specific hardware construction language embedded in Scala leverages actual software methods for hardware construction and verification.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Digital designs using Chisel
* Hardware generators in Scala an Chisel
* Extensions of the Chisel language
* Chisel in teaching
* Chisel libraries
* Design verification with Chisel and ChiselTest
* Formal verification of Chisel designs
* FIRRTL compiler, including CIRCT
* FIRRTL transformation and optimization pathes
* Combining Chisel and UVM or cocotb for verification
* Other hardware construction languages

This special session is part of the Euromicro Conference on Digital System Design (DSD 2023).

2023 DSD and SEAA Conferences is September 6-8, Durres, Albania, Grand Blue Fafa Resort

FOSSi Foundation are pleased to announce ORConf 2023 will be taking place in beautiful Munich, Germany on September, 15th to 17th, 2023. It will start Friday morning and Sunday is currently reserved for tutorials and workshops.

ORConf is an annual conference for open source digital, semiconductor and embedded systems designers and users. Each year attendees are treated to an ever-impressive array of presentations from all corners of the open source hardware space.

We invite anyone with an interest in the field to join us and also consider a presentation, big or small, on your experience as a developer or a user of open source digital design projects.

ORConf remains to be free to attend thanks to each year’s sponsors. Please do get in touch should you be interested in getting exposure for your company by becoming a sponsor of ORConf!

ORConf is organized by the Free and Open Source Silicon (FOSSi) Foundation.
