IEEE CEDA SWEAT 2026 — The Agentic Semiconductor Revolution

26–27 Sept 2026  |  DoubleTree by Hilton Bengaluru Whitefield

IEEE CEDA SWEAT 2026 (Symposium cum Workshop on Emerging AI/ML Trends) brings together students, industry professionals, and academia for two days exploring how agentic AI is reshaping semiconductor design, verification, and validation.

Adoption of AI in semiconductors is accelerating exponentially — from an estimated $65B market in 2025 to a projected $232B by 2034. This event sits right at that curve.

Focus Tracks

Workshop Track: Agents for Semiconductors
Main Track 01: AI for Pre-Silicon — Design, Layout, Verification
Main Track 02: AI for Post-Silicon — Validation, Testing

Hackathon Themes

• AI Agents for Verification
• AI Agents for RTL Design
• AI Agents for Physical Design & Layout
• AI Agents for DFT & Testing
• AI Agents for Silicon Validation
• AI Agents for EDA Automation
• Open Innovation — AI Agents for any Industry Application

TEAM RULES

Students compete in teams of 3–4 (individual registrants are randomly assigned to teams after registration closes). Academia & Industry participants compete individually. Every team gets a dedicated booth and presentation slot on Day 2.
