DATE 2025 - Call for Papers

The DATE conference is the main European event bringing together designers and design automation users, researchers and vendors as well as specialists in the hardware and software design, test and manufacturing of electronic circuits and systems. DATE puts a strong emphasis on both technology and systems, covering ICs/SoCs, reconfigurable hardware and embedded systems as well as embedded software.

The three-day event consists of a conference with regular papers, late breaking results papers and extended abstracts, complemented by timely keynotes, special days, focus sessions, embedded tutorials, half-day workshops and multi-partner project sessions. The event will also host the Young People Programme and unplugged sessions fostering the networking and the exchange of information on relevant issues, recent research outcomes and career opportunities.

DATE 2025 is the 28th edition of an event that has always been the place for researchers, young professionals and industrial partners to meet, present their research and discuss the current development and next trends, with high emphasis on social interaction.

At DATE 2025, the DATE community, again, comes together for the conference in an intensive three-day format, focussing on interaction as well as further strengthening the community. The vast majority of regular papers will be presented in technical sessions using short flash-presentations, where the emphasis is on poster-supported live interactions (in addition to the common full-length presentation videos available before, during and after the conference). By this, we continue to focus on the core value of conferences: meeting, discussing and exchanging.

Keynotes

OK01 Opening Keynote: Towards greener electronics and a 1000x gain in energy efficiency: co-optimizing innovative IC architectures, disruptive CMOS technologies and new EDA tools.

Start

Jean-René Lèquepeys, CEA-Leti, France

Jean-René Lèquepeys
Abstract

Semiconductors and chips are ever-present in our current digital world. From smart sensors and the industrial Internet of Things to Digital Cities, personalized Medecine, Precision Agriculture, Vehicle Automation, and Cloud & High Performance Computing, semiconductor applications cover a very wide spectrum of society’s needs. However, global warming is highlighting the social and environmental impact of the digital transition, and the complex trade-offs and choices that lie ahead if we are to build a sustainable world. How do we pursue digitalization taking into account a limited power budget and the planetary limits? How do we make greener choices in the face of ever-increasing/aggressive competition? How do we choose the right digital performance for each application instead of a one-size-fits-all scenario, with a best performance for all approach? The semiconductor ecosystem is indeed facing a difficult dilemma with complex key tradeoffs.

With these stakes clearly in mind, the semiconductor community is performing disruptive research to provide greener electronics, able to attain very large gains in energy efficiency and just the right performance for each application. With the help of AI-boosted design methodologies and CAD tools, we have set out to co-optimize innovative CMOS technologies, disruptive chip architectures, computing models with new algorithms for embedded software.

This paper will provide an overview of the global semiconductor landscape and the challenge of mastering the data deluge for the entire semiconductor ecosystem. In order to face this challenge, we must all work together to reduce the collection, transport and storage of fruitless data.

This keynote will spend some time describing recent results from CEA-Leti and CEA-List’s research on sustainable and greener technologies.

To conclude, I will present an overview of the European Chips Act initiative, with the launch of the pilot lines, the Design Platforms and Competence Centers, a pan-European program that will be driving key milestones in the next five years to accelerate the accomplishment of our common goal of a sustainable and sovereign digital Europe.

OK02 Opening Keynote: A Vision of Systems and Technology in a Connected Europe

Start

Giovanni De Micheli, EPFL, Switzerland

Giovanni De Micheli
Abstract

The unprecedented growth of electronic system applications, from AI to smart products, creates both a huge market opportunity and a deep need for talented engineers. Europe will play a dominant role in the thirties if we (i.e., our community) can set up the premises for such a technology expansion now. Whereas the European Chip Act is an important enabler, finance represents only one of the necessary conditions for success. The key aspect is the ability to leverage diverse competences and connect the partially-untapped energies of the various European players, ranging from Industry to Academia.

Europe’s strength stems from diversity and the ability to design complex systems from parts, possibly coming from various sources. The ‘value added’ comes from the engineers who can create functionality and services, and who can adapt it to a diverse market of consumers. Yet I argue that this precious resource, the human capital represented by engineers and technologists, is too scarce and its limitation in size is a main handicap for creating a strong market of intelligent products and services. Education of engineers has to evolve and concentrate on the broader issue of system problem solving based on a deep understanding of technology. Industry has to join forces with academia by sharing knowledge and objectives and by creating a strong enthusiasm for engineering.

LK02 ASD Lunchtime Keynote: AI/ML at the Forefront of Semiconductor Evolution: Enhancing Design, Efficiency, and Performance

Start

Yankin Tanurhan, Synopsys, United States

Yankin Tanurhan
Abstract

As artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) drive innovation, their impact on the semiconductor market is transformative. This keynote will explore the latest AI/ML trends and their implications for SoC designs targeting high-performance compute, edge AI, and IoT applications. The presentation will cover AI/ML's role in developing next-generation semiconductor designs, including how AI/ML algorithms are incorporated into EDA tools to optimize chip design and enable efficient verification and manufacturing. Emerging AI/ML trends driving requirements for advanced neural processing units (NPU) will be explored, including generative AI applications like large language models and text-to-image generators. Finally, the role of transformer-based neural networks in implementing energy-efficient SoCs will be discussed.
