Just got this news from Ed Lee: EDA pundits and all-round knowledgeable Paladins Jim Hogan and Paul McLellan are going to discuss SoC Realization in a special session at DAC in San Diego next month. Lee’s email says:
“SOC Realization…no longer just a vision. It’s the sweet spot in EDA & IP – where to invest and where to anchor your EDA/IP startup. So if you are contemplating starting up or re-igniting a company in the EDA & IP space, this session will help you think about how your technology will analyze and verify design concepts much earlier in the design process… at much higher levels of abstraction than before.”
These two guys always have something interesting to say.
Particulars:
When: Monday, June 6, 10-11am
Where: DAC, Room 24A
