Off the beaten (DAC) path
For most of the average joes attending the Design Automation Conference, it’s a time to walk the exhibit floor, witness demos of the latest EDA gear, take in some interesting technical sessions, and maybe attend a party or reception.
But if you dig around the DAC website, you’ll see a link to something called “Collocated [...]
Update: Southwest DFT Conference 2008
Just a short one – about a month ago, the 2008 Southwest DFT Conference was held in Austin, TX. I blogged about it here. Since I didn’t get to go, I just recently checked back to [...]
DFT-related DAC news
This week, I’ll try to pass along Design-for-Test related DAC news as it comes along…
First, it was announced today that the standards organization Accellera has selected Bruce Cory, a DFT manager at NVIDIA, to receive the 5th annual Technical Excellence Award, for leading the effort to bring the Open Compression Interface (OCI) to be approved [...]
Birds of a feather… blog together
The Design Automation Conference is just around the corner. DAC’s not usually a conference that commands much interest with regard to DFT… I recently wrote a blog post complaining of that fact, but never posted it (I like to let posts like that simmer for awhile, and many times, a re-reading of them [...]
DFT Tools and System Verilog
System Verilog was signed off as a standard by IEEE in late 2005. In the 2-1/2 years since, front-end design tools for synthesis and verification have been making significant strides in support of the standard – not without limitations and missteps – but the effort is there. Progress has been made. So [...]
