Pioneer of Online Conference
VSDOpen 2018 Keynote & Paper
First ever Online Semiconductor Conference was successfully attended by presenters and audience all over the world from different time zone and made it a grand event. All thanks to the Keynote speakers and Paper presenter who delivered so advanced industry edge content to our audience.
VSDOpen 2019
Welcome to the World’s Only Online Conference in Semiconductor Industry VSDOpen Conference 2019. With enormous support and global presence of audience from different segments of industrial lobby and academia made VSDOpen 2018 a highly successful event. Evolution is change in the genetic makeup of a population over time, online conference is one kind evaluation everyone adapt soon.
VSDOpen 2020
We are really excited to showcase some masterpieces of work done by Research Interns over last year, and also, we are really excited to introduce you to novel techniques of learning and designing analog/digital IP’s. This time, we are about to showcase you a list of projects which was achieved for the very first time in the field of open-source.
VSDOpen 2021
We are excited this year to talk more about the silicon and the journey towards tapeout. The term tape-out was named so because historically a magnetic tape was used to store all the ASIC design files and this tape was then send to the foundry for manufacturing. Tape out is a major milestone in every VLSI Engineer lifecycle.
VSDOpen 2022
VSDOpen 2022 is an online conference to share open-source research with the community and promote hardware design mostly done by the student community.
VSDOpen 2022 is based on the theme “How to lower the cost to learn, build, and tapeout chips?”, which will provide a platform to community to build stronger designs and strengthen the future of Chip design.
VSDOpen 2023
The RISC-V based Product Development Hackathon is not just an event—it’s a journey from knowledge to application for innovation. Aimed to enlighten young India, this platform is crucial in navigating the intricate path from hardware design to the final product.
