Earlier this evening, Gary Smith held his annual night-before-DAC talks at the Austin Convention Center . During his presentation, Gary laid out his vision of the EDA industry over the next 10-15 years. There were many interesting points in the presentation (see Richard Goering's writeup for more details).

Wandering around the DAC floor this year, I'm finding that plug and play, transaction based, metric driven verification, the dream of verification architects for more than a decade is finally being realized at four different companies. Expect more information on all of this soon. I just want to give you a quick update about the cool stuff I’ve seen while DAC is still afoot.

The only thing most people remember about Tuesdays at DAC are the parties. You’re a success if you attended at least two, less than a success if you only attended one, and guaranteed immortality if you attended more than three.

I’m very tired and a bit giddy as I write this post, late in the evening after the second day of exhibits at the Design Automation Conference (DAC) in Austin. Frankly, a lot of us EDA vendors were concerned about holding DAC in Austin for the first time. Of course there is a large electronics development community in Austin, but the first time in a new location for any conference is always a bit of a gamble since you never know what kind of response you’ll get.

DAC is off to a fast start and no one is talking about the numbers, they are talking about how many great things there are see and do here at the 50th DAC here in Austin, Texas and how packed the schedule is. But before we get to that, I have to say a word or two about Austin. The reason is that Austin has the slogan – keep Austin weird, which also happens to be the slogan for the city that I call my hometown – Portland, Oregon, which I have to say, is a lot weirder. Since I got here, I have seen nothing weird.

Power continues to be the big issue at this year’s DAC, and it’s one of the primary focal points for announcements at this year’s conference in Austin, Texas.
Jasper Design, for example, just added power awareness to its formal verification tools. Formal is effective in routing out very specific design problems rather than verifying an entire SoC or even a block. Oz Levia, vice president of marketing at the company, explained that the goal is to take RTL and infuse it with power structure sequences, insert buffers and then extract assertions to verify the power sequencing is correct.

Jerry Philippe used to work for me at Compass and then very briefly we worked together at VaST. Today he works for Calypto in Austin. And it is the Austin part that is important because Jerry knows where the places are in any city to get good food and drink but Austin is his home.
