In addition to these presentations, Magma will be involved in other partner activities during DAC:
* ARM and Magma will host the lunchtime panel discussion, "Challenges of Implementing and Integrating Super Systems on Chip (SSoCs)" on Tuesday, June 5. This panel will explore new and innovative approaches to implementing SSoCs that truly automate chip building, reduce cycle time and design cost drastically, yet meet design performance, power and area targets. Panelists include representatives from ARM, Magma, Microsoft and TSMC, and EDN Executive Editor Ron Wilson will moderate. Attendees will be eligible to win an Xbox, courtesy of Microsoft. * Magma is co-sponsoring the Unified Power Format (UPF) Booth 7860. DAC attendees are invited to a cocktail party there, Monday, June 4 from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m., to toast the adoption of Accellera's Unified Power Format as the standard serving the entire Low-Power Design community. * Magma is also co-sponsoring the Interoperable PCell Libraries, IPL Alliance Booth 2957
