Well, you can wear flowers in your hair if you like, but it is a bit sixties. However, here are some things that I do recommend that you be sure to do.
Some of these recommendations require you to find a given numbered pier. The Ferry Building at the end of Market Street is effectively pier 0. Odd numbers go north (including pier 1½ ). Even… Read More
One DAC panel session that I am looking forward to attending is the Chevy Volt Teardown. This takes place at 1.30-2.30pm on Tuesday June 5th at the DAC pavilion (aka booth 310). Al Speier will be talking about a teardown that they did at Munro Associates where he is a senior associate. Unfortunately they won’t actually be tearing… Read More
RTDA is all about enterprise level scalability. Their three main products all scale to be able to handle the most demanding needs of large companies with large farms of servers. Of course there are some new refinements too.
LicenseMonitor can scale to 70,000 simultaneous checkouts with 1 billion checkout records in the database.… Read More
Atrenta will have a new look this year at DAC. I’m not quite sure what that means but we’ll all just have to go along and find out.
They have three users talking about their use of Atrenta’s tools. All 3 of these presentations are in the user-track poster session on Tuesday June 5th 12.30-1.30pm in room 105 (which … Read More
At DAC in San Francisco this year, Apache once again have a mixture of presentations by customers on their use of Apache tools and presentations by Apache themselves on their products. Most of the customer presentations are given just once, but the product presentations are given multiple times over the three days.
I think one of… Read More

If you are visiting DAC and want a drink in the evening then you are in an interesting city and you don’t have to go to a bar just like the ones in the city where you live. Here are a few unique places but take note, most of these places don’t serve any food, they are all about the drinks:
Bourbon and Branch. It is an old speakeasy. You … Read More
You are going to DAC. And you don’t want to eat a Moscone Center rubber chicken Caesar salad for lunch. But you lack local knowledge. So here are some places within a 10 minute walk. These are just places I like. Nobody is paying me to recommend them.

Fast buses at DACby Paul McLellan on 04-24-2012 at 10:05 pmCategories: EDA, Events
UPDATE: there is free WiFi on all buses.
OK, these are not the 128 bit 1GHz buses we have to hear about every day. They go roughly 40 miles in roughly an hour. But they take you from Silicon Valley to DAC and back, and they are cheaper than BART or Caltrain.
For the first time this year, DAC has buses from Silicon Valley to Moscone for DAC. … Read More
