Laker
Custom Layout software is the core of an interoperable set of
best-in-class tools that each offer specialized custom IC design
automation solutions. Laker provides unique layout automation
technology that gives users better layout results in less time and
anchors targeted, application-specific and customer-specific automation
solution sets. The Laker community of partners will show how tools
which are leaders in their own right become even more powerful when
they interoperate with Laker, each adding value to the other. The
SpringSoft Custom IC Design Automation Showcase will be running
throughout the show on the show floor in the SpringSoft booth #3367
What we'll be showing
-
• DRC and LVS clean layout achieved by verification solutions from Mentor Graphics, Polyteda and Synopsys that run, review and correct data in-situ for optimal layout in the least amount of time.
• Advanced routing solutions from Pulsic and Pyxis running with Laker including the industry's first multi-vendor application of the OA run-time model for real-time, interactive routing of your biggest designs.
• Dramatic increases in mixed-signal design productivity by running the Ciranova analog and Laker custom digital placers in the Laker environment.
• Data Management solutions from ClioSoft and Dassault Systemes that assure revision control and enable global collaboration.
• Impressive quality of results using tools from Anchor Semiconductor, Apache, and Micrologic that offer power, yield and electrical awareness and provide immediate feedback during the layout process.

Interoperability for Innovation in Custom IC Design Automation
Presenter: Scott Sandler: VP of Marketing, SpringSoft
Interoperability drives custom IC design automation by enabling innovative multi-vendor layout solutions. SpringSoft's commitment to interoperability adds value in all of its products. The Laker Layout Editor works with other best-in-class tools to enable faster completion of higher-quality custom IC designs. This presentation will give a brief introduction to SpringSoft and its Laker Custom IC Design Solutions, how the company supports the TSMC Open Innovation Platform, and an overview of several custom IC design solutions comprising interoperable tools from multiple vendors.
Presentation times:
Monday, July 27 @ 2PM
Tuesday, July 28 @ 11:30AM
Wednesday, July 29 @ 9:30AM
Thursday, July 30 @ 10:30AM

Topic:
Frontiers in Verification: Coverage, Closure and Beyond
Featuring real life verification superheroes:
Scott Runner, Qualcomm
Avi Ziv, IBM
Kathy Harrington, AMD
Alon Gluska, Intel
Moderated by Scott Sandler, Vice Presisdent of Corporate Marketing, SpringSoft
Verification of complex electronic system and IC designs is a constantly and rapidly evoloving art. Big changes in how designs are constructed at the silicon, circuit, logic, and system levels demand new tools and tactics for verification. Verification IP plays an increasing role, and standards are critical to ensure interoperability of tools. This panel will bring together a group of seasoned verification professionals for a lively conversation on how verification must change in the coming years to keep pace with issues such as coverage, closure, power and software.

The EDA Earthquake: Interoperable PDKs Shakin' Up the Analog Design World
Foundry Sponsor: TSMC
Charter Sponsors: Ciranova, Magma, Mentor Graphics, SpringSoft, Synopsys
IPL Sponsors: AWR, Helic, JEDAT and Pyxis
Tuesday July 28th
12:00 PM - 1:30 PM
Marriott Hotel: Yerba Buena Salon 8
Last year's IPL lunch featured the announcement of TSMC joining the IPL Alliance and collaboration with key alliance members to create the industry's first 65-nm interoperable PDK. This year, IPL members will present a foundry qualified and validated interoperable PDK. Attendees will hear about the challenges, features, and roadmap, and customer experiences using the kit.

Be An Engineering Superhero to the Global Community
SpringSoft is working with the Engineers Without Borders Labdoo Project to bring the excess supply of technology from our developed world to developing regions throughout the globe. At this year's DAC, we along with our partner company, Denali Software, are pleased to be holding a collection drive for used and unwanted laptops that will be refurbished and distributed to disadvantaged communities. Put those spare laptops that you have sitting around to good use. Bring them to our booth #3367 and put them in our collection bin. With SpringSoft's help, you can be a superhero to someone less fortunate.
