New York, May 25, 2010 – Steve Teig, president and chief technology officer (CTO) of Tabula, will describe an approach to move beyond von Neumann computing during a luncheon hosted by the IEEE Council on Electronic Design Automation (CEDA) at the 47th Design Automation Conference (DAC).

The lunch, open to all DAC attendees on a first-come, first-served basis, will be held Tuesday, June 15, from noon-2 p.m. in Room #303 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, Calif.

In his talk, Teig, inventor of Tabula’s Spacetime 3-Dimensional Programmable Logic Architecture, will describe a simultaneous approach to design of architecture, hardware and software. He will explain how he sees them as aspects of a cohesive whole, similar to the way John von Neumann, inventor of the von Neumann architecture, and Alan Turing, developer of the Turing machine, did. Teig will illustrate why he believes that a new approach to architectural design will maximize the opportunities to go beyond von Neumann computing.

Prior to co-founding Tabula, a fabless semiconductor company that has developed a new category of 3-D Programmable Logic Devices (3PLDs), Teig was co-CTO of Cadence Design Systems, joining Cadence through its acquisition of Simplex Solutions, where he was CTO. He co-founded two successful biotechnology companies –– CombiChem and BioCAD –– as well as an EDA company, Tangent Systems. Teig holds more than 220 patents.

Birds of a Feather Session
CEDA will host a Birds of a Feather session during DAC on social media moderated by Shishpal Rawat, CEDA’s vice president of technical activities and director of Business Enabling Programs and EDA Investments for Intel Corp. It will be held Tuesday, June 15, from 6:30-8 p.m. in Room 209 in the Anaheim Convention Center. The discussion will focus on trends in social media and on ways to better utilize social media channels to reach a wider EDA audience. Rawat will attempt to determine which mechanisms are used by the EDA community and how to reach them. For more details, visit the CEDA website located at: www.c-eda.org.

About the IEEE Council on EDA
The IEEE Council on Electronic Design Automation (CEDA) provides a focal point for EDA activities spread across six IEEE societies (Antennas and Propagation; Circuits and Systems; Computer; Electron Devices; Microwave Theory and Techniques; and Solid State Circuits). It sponsors more than 12 conferences, including the Design Automation Conference (DAC), International Conference in CAD (ICCAD) and Design Automation and Test in Europe (DATE). CEDA publishes IEEE Transactions on CAD and the IEEE Embedded Systems Letters. CEDA is increasingly involved in recognizing its leaders via the A. Richard Newton Award, Early Career Award and Phil Kaufmann Award. CEDA welcomes volunteers and local chapters. For more details, visit: www.c-eda.org.
