Friday, July 22, 2022

SAN JOSE, Calif., July 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The 59th Design Automation Conference returned to San Francisco's Moscone Center this year to notch almost six decades of week-long immersion in EDA technology and market trends, combining keynote presentations by industry luminaries with the "DAC Engineering Track" technical presentations and the EDA tool-provider exhibits for in-person exchanges of EDA user-needs and the latest EDA solutions.  Attendance by exhibitors, and EDA tool end-users alike, was noticeably improved from last year's conference but still below pre-COVID levels.  The Moscone Center neighborhood provided a less than inviting convention venue as San Francisco recovers from COVID's decimation of the convention-generated commerce around the Center marred by heavily littered streets, a very noticeable presence of "street people", and the closure of many name-brand businesses that are normally sustained by the "collateral business" generated by convention attendees.

Key Points: 
  • Despite the lower DAC attendance, S2Csaw a marked improvement in the quantity and quality of visitors to the S2C booth.
  • S2C took the opportunity at DAC to roll out its newest version of its prototyping software ProdigyPlayer Pro-7.
  • Prototype Ready IP are off-the-shelf daughter cards designed by S2C to plug-and-play with S2C prototyping hardware platforms.
  • Overall, DAC 2022 was a successful conference for S2C, firmly establishing S2C as the leading independent FPGA prototyping supplier, with the strongest track record of delivering complete prototyping solutions worldwide.
