If the Research Track is the soul of the Design Automation Conference, the Designer Track is its beating heart. And as we’ve seen in recent years, that heart beat is only getting stronger.
I’m so excited to be the co-chair for the Designer Track for the 56th DAC because it’s really where the rubber meets the road for systems designers, where deep and fruitful conversations happen between presenters and audience members and where the near-term future of design is laid out completely.
This year – my first as Designer Track co-chair – I’m honored to be working with Renu Mehra from Synopsys and Ambar Sarkar from NVIDIA. Renu is overseeing the back-end design topics, such as design flow and verification, while Ambar is looking after the front-end: architecture, design and verification. For my part, I’m responsible for the embedded system and software aspect of the Designer Track.
