Trip Report

 

SNUG India 2007 was held at the Leela Palace, Bangalore on May 24-25, attracting 1,581 attendees to the event. This EDA mega-event was kicked off by Deirdre Hanford, senior VP Global Technical Services, who addressed about 1,200 design engineers with a talk on “Productivity and Value Creation,” highlighting the tremendous advances made by Synopsys-enabled users.

Behrooz Abdi, senior VP and GM of Qualcomm, delivered a keynote on the role of “Semiconductor Industry on the Evolution of Wireless” and led the audience through a short history and future trends of the wireless industry, focusing on 3G and growth drivers like the convergence of multimedia and mobility.

Anil Gupta, managing director of ARM India Operations, delivered the partner keynote on “The Future ARM Powered Digital World.” He spoke of ARM's leadership in the applications processor, real-time embedded and microcontroller markets.

This year's technical program saw 33 high-caliber user papers presented across three tracks: Physical Design & Sign-off, Synthesis & Test and Verification & Analog Mixed Signal. The papers were drawn from about 95 contributions, by about 130 authors from more than 30 design and services companies

A panel discussion on low-power applications and 16 tutorials on synthesis, physical design, test, static timing analysis, spice simulation, verification methodology and IP use saw enthusiastic participation from the listeners in extended Q&A sessions.

Judges for user papers, drawn from across 12 design and service companies, picked the best user papers from Open Silicon, Transwitch, Qualcomm and Texas Instruments.
