What you’ll learn:

Chiplet lifecycle management.
How test fits into chiplet development.
Where AI fits in chiplet test and measurement.

Chiplet workflow is a complex dance with many components, including test and simulation. Nilesh Kamdar, General Manager at Keysight EDA, talked about these in his keynote presentations at the 2025 Chiplet Summit (watch the video above). He touches on simulation, interoperability testing, and managing chiplet data (Fig. 1).

Nilesh Kamdar (Keysight) Chiplet Summit keynote themes — 1. Nilesh Kamdar addressed simulation, interoperability testing, and managing chiplet data in his presentation.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become central to EDA design optimization and debugging. It’s being used in chip and chiplet layout, simulation, and optimization, as well as test and verification. Nilesh wraps up his presentation with his forecast on AI/EDA integration (Fig. 2).

Impact of chiplet development workflow — 2. This highlights Nilesh’s forecast on how AI will impact the chiplet development workflow now and in the future.

I earned a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Masters in Computer Science from Rutgers University. I still do a bit of programming using everything from C and C++ to Rust and Ada/SPARK. I do a bit of PHP programming for Drupal websites. I have posted a few Drupal modules.

I still get a hand on software and electronic hardware. Some of this can be found on our Kit Close-Up video series. You can also see me on many of our TechXchange Talk videos. I am interested in a range of projects from robotics to artificial intelligence.
