At DAC Jasper presented a seminar with ARM on cache coherency and verification of cache coherency. The seminar is now available online for those of you that missed DAC or missed the seminar itself.
Cache architectures, especially for multi-core architectures, are getting more and more complex. Techniques originally pioneered… Read More
Synopsys MIPI Webinar: MIPI is really getting traction
Synopsys last two acquisitions of IP vendors, former ChipIdea in 2009 (Mixed-signal product line of MIPS) and Virage Logic in 2010, have allowed to built a stronger, diversified IP port-folio. Amazingly, Synopsys has found MIPI IP product line in the basket in both cases.… Read More
The next Apache webinar is on PowerArtist, RTL Power Analysis on July 26th at 11am Pacific time. The webinar will be conducted by David “Woody” Norwood, Principal Applications Engineer at Apache Design Solutions. David has been supporting RTL Power products for the past 8 years. He has broad EDA industry experience… Read More
Workshops are a great where to learn hands-on about IC design technology. Mentor has a free workshop to introduce you to creating, simulating and verifying mixed-signal (Analog and Digital) designs.

Gary Smith has a note out about the Apache acquisition by Ansoft (unfortunately if you get his email newsletter the link there takes you to the wrong article but it really is here or here as pdf). Most of the note actually describes the acquisition and the Apache product line which won’t reveal much new to anyone here.
He regards… Read More
Oasys’s customersby Paul McLellan on 07-20-2011 at 1:36 pmCategories: EDA
I haven’t made a secret of the fact that I maintain Oasys Design System’s website. So I had a small task yesterday of adding Qualcomm to the list of customer logos that cycle through on the home page. It is a pretty impressive list including Juniper Networks, Netlogic Microsystems, Texas Instruments and ST Microelectronics.… Read More
Each quarter, the EDA Consortium publishes the Market Statistics Service (MSS) report containing detailed revenue data for the EDA industry. The report compiles data submitted confidentially by both public and private EDA companies into tables and charts listing the data by both EDA category and geographic region. This newsletter… Read More
As you probably know, Synopsys last year acquired VaST and CoWare and a couple of years early had acquired Virtio. All three companies primarily competed in the virtual platform market. In addition, Synopsys is the #2 IP company (behind ARM) and has a wide range of tools for SoC design. So the interesting question is how would they… Read More
Variation Analysisby Paul McLellan on 07-18-2011 at 1:33 pmCategories: EDA, Solido
I like to say that “you can’t ignore the physics any more” to point out that we have to worry about lots of physical effects that we never needed to consider. But “you can’t ignore the statistics any more” would be another good slogan. In the design world we like to pretend that the world is pass/fail. But manufacturing is actually a statistical… Read More
Richard Goering is well-known from his editorial days at EE Times (going back some 25 years), now at Cadence he blogs at least once a week on EDA topics that touch Cadence tools.
Before DAC he talked with Srinath Anantharaman about how Cadence tools work together with ClioSoft tools to keep IC Design Data Management Simple.
