The 47th Design Automation Conference (DAC), the foremost conference devoted to electronic design and design automation, which starts Monday, June 14 at the Anaheim Convention Center, Anaheim, CA, will be remembered as the year that front-end and back-end design together, allowing attendees to see solutions that cover all processes from design through manufacturing. EDA tool companies, intellectual property (IP) companies, and service companies will reveal and present information on solutions that facilitate integrated circuit (IC) and system-on-chip (SOC) designers to optimize for performance and manufacturability at advanced process nodes. Major foundries are participating at an exceptional level to help design team customers recognize accelerated design, reduced design costs, faster system-to-IC implementation, and faster time-to-volume. For example:
• GLOBAL-FOUNDRIES will broadcast details of its partner ecosystem during DAC, going far beyond the design kits of the past to include EDA partners, IP partners, service partners, mask service partners, and assembly and test partners.
The increasing association of foundries in creating partnerships between design and IP are lowering the barrier to building a system, all the way from concept to feigned silicon, said Sachin Sapatnekar, General Chair of the 47th DAC Executive Committee. EDA is no longer just about the minutiae of producing silicon. It's nearly up to the system level, and at the same time, building on the foundry ecosystems so that complex designs can move efficiently into manufacturing.
