Supercharging Chip Development: Open-Source AI Plug-Ins for GenAI Co-Pilots : Deepa Palaniappan, AsFigo Technologies, DAV Engineer and Ajeetha Kumari Venkatesan, AsFigo, Director of Verification
Tuesday February 4, 2025 1:35pm - 2:15pm GMT
Doddington Forum 1
Chip design workflows, particularly with hardware languages like SystemVerilog and UVM, face challenges due to limited high-quality training data for generative AI. This results in large language models (LLMs) struggling to provide accurate, context-aware assistance. This session introduces a framework that leverages open-source tools like Verible, Slang, and UVMLint to address these challenges. The multi-agent system improves hardware code development through iterative feedback loops and supports targeted UVM code reviews with a noise-reducing linting approach. This approach enhances LLM performance, improving development efficiency and code quality in semiconductor design.

Productionising data pipelines with OpenSource : Tatiana Al-Chueyr Martins, Astronomer, Staff Software Engineer
Wednesday February 5, 2025 2:00pm - 2:15pm GMT
Doddington Forum 1
Over the past eight years, dbt-core has transformed SQL Analysts' workflows, enabling systematic development, modularization, reuse, testing, documentation, and version control.

Simultaneously, Apache Airflow emerged as the leading open-source orchestration tool. It allows data engineers to author, schedule, and monitor workflows using Python, scaling dynamic job scheduling and workflow-as-code.

By November 2024, both tools surpassed 50 million PyPI downloads.

This presentation demonstrates an end-to-end example of developing SQL transformations and productionizing them with these powerful open-source tools.

The OpenTelemetry (OTel) Operator is a great tool that helps make your life a little easier by managing OTel for you in your Kubernetes cluster, by:
Managing the deployment of the OpenTelemetry Collector
Managing the configuration of a fleet of OpenTelemetry Collectors via OpAMP integration
Injecting and configuring auto-instrumentation into your pods

But what happens when THINGS. DON’T. WORK??

In this talk, Adriana and Reese will cover:
* An overview of the OTel Operator
* Common installation issues
* Common auto-instrumentation issues
* Common OTel Collector deployment issues
* …and how to tackle them all

Attendees will walk away from this session with a better understanding of how they can leverage the Operator, and be empowered to use it with confidence.
