2 weeks to Southwest DFT Conference
I received an e-mail today reminding me of the upcoming SW DFT Conference, sponsored by SiliconAid Solutions, to be held May 31st in Austin, TX. Pre-registration is free until May 25th. No word on what it would cost to register late - I think they make you buy lunch.
All kidding aside, I took a look at their program, and it’s got some good stuff: Keynote by Professor Hank Walker of Texas A&M, who counts defect-based test, delay test and realistic fault modeling among his research interests. Steve Sunter of LogicVision will be talking about BIST-based delay and jitter testing in nanometer technologies - I have checked out their SerDes test product, and I like it. Grzegorz Mrugalski of Mentor will be talking about low power embedded deterministic BIST - a subject of papers by Mentor at both VTS 2007 and DAC 44 next month. Smells like a product rollout to me…
Visit the website to view the entire schedule - including the “Happy Hour During the Panel”. I find alcohol livens up even engineering discussion. Wish I could be there!
