		The Silicon Valley CDNLive, the Cadence user conference, will be on March 12-13th 2013 in Santa Clara. But the heart of CDNLive are customer presentations and the call for papers is now open. The deadline is December 4th (at 5pm PST for people who really like to come down to the wire). At this point only an abstract is required.
There… Read More 
	 
	
	
	
		
	
		
			
		
	
	
		
		
	
	
	
		Once upon a time (since every good story begins that way), I worked on 10kg, 70 mm diameter things that leapt out of tubes and chased after airplanes and helicopters. The electronics for these things were fairly marvelous, in the days when surface mount technology was in its infancy and having reliability problems in some situations.… Read More

		Cadence has apparently announced that going forward the Virtuoso environment is going to be split into two and offered as two separate code-streams, the current IC6.x and a new IC12.x. The idea is to introduce a new product with features that were specifically developed for new technologies such as double patterning aware layout… Read More 
	 
	
	
	
		
	
		
			
		
	
	
		
		
	
	
	
		Looking at the Press Release (PR) flow, it was interesting to see how TSMC has solved a communication dilemma. At first, let’s precise that #1 Silicon foundry has to work with each of the big three EDA companies. As a foundry, you don’t want to lose any customer, and then you support every major design flow. Choosing another strategy… Read More 
	 
	
	
	
		
	
		
			
		
	
	
		
		
	
	
	
		… Mentor Graphics, Design & Reuse or Gartner. The IP-SoC conference in Grenoble has been the very first 100% dedicated to Design IP, created by Gabriele Saucier 20 years ago, when “reuse” was more a concept than a reality within the design teams, and when Design IP was far to be a sustainable business. 
Pr Gabriele Saucier had the… Read More

		EDA software for IC and system design became a commercial business in  the early 1980s. In those days, 3 companies – Daisy Systems, Mentor  Graphics, and Valid Logic Systems – dominated the emerging EDA industry.  However, two small startups that emerged in the early 1980s grew  rapidly and merged to form Cadence Design Systems in 1988.… Read More
