Mirabilis Design’s Deepak Shankar on Next-Gen SoC Architecture Trends at 62nd DAC 2025

System-on-Chip (SoC) architecture design is central to modern chip development, seamlessly integrating processors, memory, and peripherals into a single chip. The effective use of commercial EDA tools saves time and resources while preventing costly failed tape-outs. Unlike traditional monolithic designs, today’s SoC architects integrate components across multiple silicon dies, enhancing flexibility and performance.
Founded in 2003 in Silicon Valley, Mirabilis Design excels in system-level simulation for SoC and chiplet architectures, tackling challenges like power optimization, verification, and thermal management. Its flagship product, VisualSim Architect, is a graphical modeling and simulation platform that empowers engineers to validate specifications, optimize performance, power, and functionality, and perform early-stage trade-offs.
I had a candid interview with its founder Deepak Shankar on latest trends in SoC design and more specifically on architecture design. Here is the engaging Q&A diving into DAC event 2025, latest trends and future:

Srinvas: What are the key objectives Mirabilis Design aims to achieve by participating in DAC 2025, and how do you plan to showcase your latest EDA tools for SoC architecture to attendees?
Deepak: The biggest change at this year's DAC is the transition to system think...
