For 60 years, DAC has been recognized as the premier conference on research and practice in tools and methodologies for the design and design automation of electronic chips to systems. DAC offers the semiconductor and electronic design industry outstanding education, training, exhibits and networking opportunities for a worldwide community of designers, researchers, tool developers, executives, and academics to reconnect.
“The 60th Design Automation Conference (DAC), the EDA industry’s largest annual event, reaffirmed the longtime technology and business trends and requirements we have highlighted in our industry and company comments for much of the past decade, namely the “essentialness” of EDA to semiconductor and systems customers’ product engineering, the broad, coincidental (and even accelerated) growth across multiple product categories, and the business expansion from new applications, with AI….AI…AI… pervasive through the conference - more so than at DAC 2022; what is interesting in our view is that the EDA vendors are both purveyors of EDA, within their own tools, but as well enablers of their customers’ AI, e.g., via their own proprietary processors.”
