45th Design Automation Conference (DAC) Awards Best Papers to Authors from Texas A&M University and Stanford University
BOULDER, Colo.-(Business Wire)-June 30, 2008 - The 45th Design Automation Conference (DAC), the electronic design automation (EDA) industry's prestigious annual forum, awarded Best Paper honors to two technical papers presented at this year's conference. Wei Dong, Peng Li and Xiaoji Ye, of Texas A&M University, the authors of "WavePipe: Parallel Transient Simulation of Analog and Digital Circuits on Multi-core Shared-memory Machines," presented a novel approach for parallel transient simulation, a process that can significantly speed up computer-aided design (CAD) tools. In "IFRA: Instruction Footprint Recording and Analysis for Post-silicon Bug Localization in Processors," authors Sung-Boem Park and Subhasish Mitra, of Stanford University presented a new debugging method for application-specific instruction-set processors, allowing information to be scanned at a high speed. The Best Paper awards were announced at DAC on June 12 before the Thursday keynote. Each award carries a $1,500 prize.
"Both of these papers highlight topics of high importance in the EDA industry," said Patrick Groeneveld, TPC co-chair, 45th DAC. "They are an example of the problem-solving ability occurring at the highest levels of industry and academia. We are proud of DAC's continuing role as a focal point for the latest research and development in our industry."
Best Paper Selection Process
Of the 147 regular papers presented at the 45th DAC, 10 papers were nominated by the technical subcommittees for consideration for Best Paper. A special best paper selection committee comprised of five distinguished individuals in the EDA community across faculty, industry and geographies, reviewed the nominated papers. They visited all best paper presentations at the conference, and in a closed meeting on Wednesday afternoon selected the two best overall papers.
About DAC
The Design Automation Conference (DAC) is recognized as the premier event for the design of electronic circuits and systems, and for Electronic Design Automation (EDA) and silicon solutions. A diverse worldwide community representing more than 1,500 organizations attends each year, from system designers and architects, logic and circuit designers, validation engineers, CAD managers, senior managers and executives to researchers and academicians from leading universities. Close to 60 technical sessions selected by a committee of electronic design experts offer information on recent developments and trends, management practices and new products, methodologies and technologies. A highlight is its Exhibition and Suite area with approximately 250 of the leading and emerging EDA, silicon and IP providers. The conference is sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery's Special Interest Group on Design Automation (ACM/SIGDA), the Circuits and Systems Society and Council on Electronic Design Automation of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE/CASS/CEDA) and the Electronic Design Automation Consortium (EDA Consortium).
