Multicore was a hot issue at EDPS but was kind of under-the-hood at DAC. Although, if you look closely, you'd see a lot of tools running on multiple processors. Lastly, I can't finish without of course mentioning cloud computing, which had one presentation at EDPS and was a lot more evident in sessions at DAC.

I will be interested in your trip report. The times that I have attended there have been engineers from IBM, Intel, Texas Instruments, just to name a few significant EDA customers.
