BOULDER, Colo., May 11 /PRNewswire/ -- The Design Automation Conference
(DAC), the electronic design industry's leading event, today announced the
lineup for this year's hands-on tutorials, a key element of the conference's
diverse program. With an emphasis on lower power and structured ASIC design
methodologies, these tutorials feature interactive sessions presented by
various DAC exhibitors that offer users to test drive the latest tools and
methodologies to address emerging design challenges. DAC will be held
June 7-11, 2004, at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, California.
"The best way to learn and understand the latest technology and tools is
through actual hands-on experience," said Luciano Lavagno, 41st DAC tutorial
chair. "With the hands-on tutorials as an integral part of our program,
attendees have the premium opportunity to interface with tools and
methodologies that can help solve new design challenges driven emerging
applications."
Interactive Learning Focuses on Power Minimization, Structured ASICs
Design Methodology
Participants in this year's seven hands-on tutorials will learn the
nuances of approaching design for specific objectives. From power
minimization goals, the tutorials will focus on the system/algorithmic level;
power estimation and optimization that shorten design time; predictive
analysis and early chip design techniques; and gating and partitioning. From
the cost and performance perspective, topics include the advantages of
structured ASICs; via- and metal-programmed ASICs; and ASICs: protyping to
production. Each three-hour tutorial will focus on a specific design
challenge and encourage attendees to work with the tools, hands-on and in real
time.
Seats for the tutorials are limited to the first 30 enrollees, and the
cost is $50 per tutorial. Student-to-workstation ratios will be 2:1. The
tutorials will take place Monday through Thursday, June 7-10, and include:
* "System-Level Power Management"
Sponsored by CoWare, Inc., ChipVision Design Systems AG, and
PowerEscape, Inc.
* "Low-Power Design Methodologies and Tools"
