Today is the first day of DATE - Are you there?
The DATE (Design Automation and Test in Europe) conference starts today in Nice, France (beautiful place - I have had the fortune of delivering a paper there, for a different conference, several years ago).
If you read this blog, and you are there, check in and give us some updates on what’s interesting!
The keynotes will be given tomorrow, by Dr Tohru Furuyama, of Toshiba Japan, addressing challenges in consumer and mobile SoCs, and Alan Naumann of CoWare, talking about evolution from RTL to system-level design.

So, were you actually there this year? If so, sorry I missed you! I was at DATE but wasn’t doing a good job of checking up on all of the other EDA blogs I follow. The conference was pretty interesting - I’ve written up some of my observations over on my blog. I’m thinking of trying to arrange a more formal way to aggregate blog postings for conferences such as DATE, DVCon, and DAC - but that would only be useful if other bloggers plan to attend and write up notes on. So, with that in mind, are you planning on attending DAC?

No, actually I wasn’t - unfortunately. I typo’d up there - it should’ve read “I had the pleasure…”, because it was in 2001.
After I posted this, I ran into Richard Goering’s comment about your coverage - great stuff! I was going to leave a comment over there about it, Ive just been swamped lately. So did you see anything more in the vein of test over there?
I’d like to go to DAC - working for a startup, I can’t really justify DATE, but I do like to ask for ITC and DAC (since DAC is local, usually). We’ll have to introduce ourselves!

Glad you enjoyed my coverage. By ‘test’ I assume you mean DFT? As it turns out I was much more focused on the verification side of things (no surprise there) so I don’t think I have anything to add for the readers of this site from that perspective.
Yes, if we both end up at DAC we’ll have to introduce ourselves. Once I’m certain whether I’ll be at DAC or not I’ll put something up on Cool Verification.
