( ESNUG 473 Item 10 ) ------------------------------------------- [05/29/08]
From: Steve Golson <sgolson=user domain=trilobyte not calm>
Subject: Steve Golson at DAC on "The Four Principles of Flow Engineering"
Hi John,
I'd like to invite you to a 90-minute presentation (really more of a
tutorial) that Pete Churchill and I are giving at DAC. The title is
"Flow Engineering for Physical Implementation: Theory and Practice"
Here's the abstract from the DAC program:
EDA tools are never used in isolation. Rather, multiple tools
are combined into a sequence called a *flow*. Furthermore an
elaborate infrastructure is required to support and enable flow
execution. This *flow infrastructure* includes directory
organization, configuration management, compute servers,
desktop machines, job control, license administration,
dependency management, operating systems, team communication,
error reporting, and libraries of all sorts. Oh, and of course
the EDA tools themselves. While EDA tools come with
documentation and user guides, and many of the components of
the flow infrastructure have standalone documentation, there is
virtually no manual or reference guide or checklist available
to aid in the creation and improvement of a flow. Join two
veteran consultants, each with over 20 years experience in IC
design, as we discuss the theory and practice of *flow
engineering*: the design of *flow infrastructure* and the flows
themselves.
Come hear us reveal and discuss the the Four Principles of Flow
Engineering. We promise you a thought-provoking and entertaining time.
We'll have demos of multi-vendor flows! and free code!
This is on Tuesday morning from 10:30-noon right after the keynote. We
hope you can attend.
Note that if you have a free Exhibit Only registration, you can get access
to the iDesign sessions for an additional $95 fee. Check when you register
online or see the registration desk at the conference.
