Industry Leaders Keynote at IEC’s DesignCon 2008 in Silicon Valley Next Month
The International Engineering Consortium’s (IEC) DesignCon 2008 conference and exhibition will spotlight keynote addresses by Synopsys Solutions Group Vice President and General Manager Joachim Kunkel; senior vice president of research and development at Altera, Misha Burich; and TSMC North America President Rick Cassidy. The keynoters will lead more than 300 experts in the world-class educational program next month at the Santa Clara Convention Center.
With thousands of industry professionals expected to gather next month at DesignCon 2008, the keynoters will address the industry with their latest thoughts on compliance and considerations for selecting the right IP; programmable solutions and its continued evolution; and advanced solutions to current design challenges.
Monday’s keynote will provide the questions to ask and the guidelines and tools necessary to navigate around the potential challenges in selecting the right IP — decisions that can significantly impact the SoC developer.
“DesignCon is an important venue for engineering professionals who wish to explore solutions to the industry’s most pressing design challenges. One of these challenges is delivering complex systems-on-chip on time and within budget, and one way to achieve this is with proven silicon IP,” said Mr. Kunkel. “I look forward to providing DesignCon attendees with practical information they can use to select the right IP for their needs, a decision that can mean the difference between making or missing a critical market window.”
In the Tuesday Keynote, Dr. Burich will describe current and future promising technologies including the spectrum from fine-grained to coarse-grained multi-cores and rapidly customizable ASSP solutions.
“DesignCon offers a unique setting for engineers to highlight problems and discuss solutions to some of the most critical challenges impacting the design and development of semiconductors today,” said Dr. Burich. “As technology leaders in the programmable logic market, we see great value in participating in DesignCon and sharing ideas with the design engineering community. It’s an exciting time to be part of the semiconductor industry and I am honored by the opportunity to deliver a keynote presentation where I can share with the audience a vision of things to come in the electronics industry.”
The final keynote address will be given by Mr. Cassidy on Wednesday.
Mr. Kunkel, Dr. Burich and Mr. Cassidy will lead more than 300 experts in more than 120 educational sessions next month at DesignCon 2008.
In addition, a cutting-edge exhibition will complement the educational program at DesignCon 2008 with 135 industry-leading companies at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA.
