DAC Countdown – New Companies 2009
The countdown to DAC has started. The program is now posted on the DAC website, and the companies who will be there, or not be there is known (there will always be some last minute changes). Last year I posted a blog entry about the new companies that will be at DAC, especially focusing on the ones related to verification and ESL – the two areas that I mostly focus on.
This year there is not a lot to write about. Whereas there were 41 new exhibitors last year, this years total is 19. Out of those 19, 6 of them are essentially services companies, although some of the other companies also offer services as well as products. 5 companies are involved with Analog/ Mixed Signal and 3 dealing with data or flow management. The OVM community will have a booth – which is the only pure play on verification, and there is no new ESL company to talk about.
I will provide an analysis of the papers and session related to these two areas later on.
