2015 Design Automation Conference Preview

by Amelia Dalton

It’s that time of year again. Ring the bells, sound the alarm, and roll out the red carpet – it’s DAC time! In this week’s Fish Fry, Anne Cirkel (General Chair – DAC 2015) gives us a special sneak peek into the biggest EDA conference of the year – The Design Automation Conference. Anne dishes the details of the conference: the super cool keynotes, the “I Love DAC” program, and the inside info on the best parties at this year’s show. Also this week, we examine a unique Kickstarter campaign that marries nanotechnology with fashion to create this season’s must have: The Unstainable™ White Shirt.

Kickstarter Corner: The Unstainable™ White Shirt by Elizabeth & Clarke

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.
