Three Days of Insightful, Thought-Provoking Content on Engineering IT Infrastructure Topics
This year’s DAC will have the Design Infrastructure Alley, a section of DAC devoted to the infrastructure required to design chips and systems. Â The premise for the DIA is pretty simple:
Every year we get together at DAC to talk about new tools and new methods to create more complex chips and systems. Â But we never talk about the infrastructure needed to use these new methods and tools. Â The Design Infrastructure Alley bridges the gap between potential and execution and allows IT Professionals, Engineers and EDA Suppliers to have a conversation about how best to enable Design.
Below is the speaking schedule for this year’s Inaugural Design Infrastructure Alley. Â We’re still working through some details regarding topic titles, and we do have one “surprise” guest which will be revealed soon. Â All of these speakers will be at the Design on Cloud Pavilion on the main Exhibit Floor. Â You can see the floorpan here to know where you’re going in advance.
