Deirdre also announces two new products from the organization. A Custom Compiler – offering visually assisted automation. And another one in ATPG technology fragment, Tetramax-II, which cuts the ATPG runtime from days to hours. Tetramax-II offers 10x faster test pattern generation, 25 percent fewer pattern and 3x memory reduction.

The keynote speech was followed by sessions centred on IC Verification, Implementation and Design, by Synopsys experts in the fragment including Pratik Mahajan, Vineet Kumar Kothari Harish M K Gowda and William Luis to name few.

The day two programs will be starting with the keynote speech of VamsiBoppana, Vice President, Processing, Systems Software and Applications, Site Director & CTO, Xilinx India.
