FinFETs, ever proliferating verification, 3DIC, security and more feature on our guide to some of the most intriguing panels at DAC 2013.

Accellera Systems Initiative has created a working group to look at one of the knottiest problems in IC design: to simplify the job of checking designs when the bits come from so many sources and use languages that were not built for interoperability.

In the first of our weekly DAC 2013 previews, we discuss program highlights with general chair Yervant Zorian, including an expanded Designer Track, keynotes and golden jubilee celebrations.
