The Designer and IP tracks have been a vital part of the DAC program since 2010, and I am honored to chair the Designer, IP and Embedded tracks for the 58th DAC. The Embedded track was added to the program last year to highlight this growing topic area in the design community.
Putting on DAC is a huge undertaking, and much of the work involved is done by volunteers from industry and academia. Each track contains submitted work as well as special invited sessions. The Designer, IP and Embedded tracks are co-chaired by Natarajan Viswanathan of Cadence Design, Monica Farkash of AMD, Randy Fish of Synopsys and Mark Kraeling of GE Transportation. Each track also has its own subcommittees to review and plan the year’s program. You can see who’s who on the DAC Executive Committee here.
