47th Design Automation Conference Announces User Track Program Offering Presentations for Designers, by Designers
The 47th Design Automation Conference (DAC) announced its User Track program, which will run for three days as a parallel track to the DAC technical program. The User Track program enables designers to sharpen their skills by hearing how other expert, experienced designers have used tools and overcome significant challenges. The 47th DAC takes place from June 13-18.
The DAC User Track includes presentations from EDA users, application engineers, and vendor-customer teams. The presentations address tool use for integrated-circuit (IC) design at all levels of abstraction and across all application domains, with the focus on how specific solutions have been successfully used. The full DAC User Track program is available now at http://www2.dac.com/. This year’s User Track highlights include:
- over 110 presentations by expert designers from AMD, Freescale, IBM, Intel, Samsung, TI, Toshiba, Qualcomm, and many other leading companies;
- presentations that provide tips and tricks on effective design flows, methods, and tool usage, allowing designers to quickly improve their “design IQ”; and
- topics that include low-power design (at the system-level, RT-level and during place-and-route); dealing with variability at 32nm and below; variation-robust methods to quickly converge on a chip that yields; front- and back-end timing closure; innovative ways to partition, budget and retime; timing-driven optimization methods; and more.
