Breaking the EDA Bottleneck for Agentic Chip Design
DescriptionOboe is accelerating the future of silicon development with next-generation Emulation and Waveform platforms purpose-built to unlock true agentic chip design. While AI has yielded remarkable productivity gains in software, hardware engineering lags behind as agents are severely bottlenecked by legacy EDA infrastructure. During frontend verification, both human engineers and autonomous agents waste critical time waiting for traditional simulation engines to return results, stalling the iterative loop and limiting agentic effectiveness. As agents drop the cost of forming hypotheses and generating tests, the burden of data generation, evaluation, and retrieval only become more acute. In this presentation, we discuss Oboe’s solutions for accelerating simulation, bringing the digital verification workflow to the speed of agents and ultimately enabling rapid and accurate root cause analysis.
