What A Difference A Decade Makes
By Tiffany Sparks - 22 Sep, 2011 - Comments: 0

By Tiffany Sparks Lately, I find myself in a reflective mood, pondering what’s changed over the past 10 years. Of course, with the 10th anniversary of 9/11 earlier this month, there’s been intense focus on what the world was like 10 years ago and what has changed since that fateful day: the thousands of lives lost, first on 9/11, then the lives lost in Afghanistan and Iraq; the geo-poli... » read more

Are Test Engineers More Highly Evolved?
By Kiran Vittal - 25 Aug, 2011 - Comments: 0

In a December 2010 blog, my colleague Ron Craig wrote that 94% of respondents to a survey said that timing constraints were a problem. Well, no surprise there. But 70+% said they planned to simply “try harder” during their next project to avoid these problems. Did they really think that was a viable solution? That blog featured a good illustration of the problem. It gave me a good laugh.... » read more

The Evil Doctor
By Atrenta - 28 Jul, 2011 - Comments: 0

I’ve always been a fan of superhero movies. I would say the Terminator series is the last time I really liked Arnold Schwarzenegger. I bet I’m not alone in that opinion. I think it’s terrific when downtrodden bands of X-Men use their strange powers to defeat evil. The summer blockbuster season is in full swing with movies like Green Lantern and Captain America. A good time will be had ... » read more

EDA…Or Something Else?
By Atrenta - 26 May, 2011 - Comments: 0

The Design Automation Conference is almost here. That major focal point for the EDA industry where we gather to explain the present, predict the future, have a bunch of serious meetings and maybe a little fun, too. Some companies will stage an incremental update of their strategy and others will outline a major new strategy. This year, Atrenta will be talking strategy, with some announcement... » read more

Good Times, Good People
By Atrenta - 31 Mar, 2011 - Comments: 0

I lost a long-time friend this past week. He was a member of the EDA community and so I will dedicate this blog to a discussion of the late Dr. Aaron Ashkinazy—the person, his contributions and the process for his work. The person. Aaron had a lot of friends. We’ve all been reminiscing about him this past week and some consistent comments arise. He was one of the most intelligent and kin... » read more

Chip Failure? Don’t Worry About It!
By Ron Craig - 24 Feb, 2011 - Comments: 0

By Ron Craig Here in the United States it’s tax time again. Along with every other loyal taxpayer, I’ve been working on identifying every conceivable deduction I can think of to minimize my overall tax burden. I’m not an expert on tax law, but as far as I can tell I still can’t take advantage of the non-tax deductible dependents we like to call ‘the cats.’ Our own demanding hous... » read more

CES—The Morning After
By Bernard Murphy - 27 Jan, 2011 - Comments: 0

CES 2010 was quite a party, coming off the misery of 2008-2009. Tablets were everywhere, smart phones are racing ahead, the PC is dead. Our industry is reinventing the electronic experience yet again. I saw one forecast of a $1 trillion consumer electronics market within a few years. This is heady stuff. It restores hope not only in the future of electronics but also the possibility that electr... » read more

Reaching The Breaking Point
By Ron Craig - 16 Dec, 2010 - Comments: 0

By Ron Craig Atrenta recently conducted a user survey on timing constraints, in an effort to find out more about how they are being managed and where the issues are. I expected a diverse range of feedback on different use models, roadblocks etc., but it was very interesting to see some trends pop up: 94% of respondents said that timing constraints were a problem. About 30% of respondents... » read more

Getting Some Respect
By Atrenta - 18 Nov, 2010 - Comments: 0

He’s a comic legend. The master of the one-liner. I had the good fortune of being in a comedy club in New York City one evening a long time ago when Rodney stopped by to try out a new comedy routine. He simply walked in and took the microphone for 45 minutes. Apparently, he did those impromptu appearances a lot “back in the day”. One of Rodney’s most famous one-liners is “I don't get ... » read more

Should EDA Remain Coin-Operated?
By Atrenta - 21 Oct, 2010 - Comments: 0

The EDA business model has seen a lot of discussion. Perpetual, time-based, pay as you go, EDA cards, etc., etc. The implications of the chosen business model can have dramatic effects on the overall health of the company involved. Changing the business model can cause mighty companies to topple and weak companies to seem strong (at least for a while). Current trends, such as cloud computing, p... » read more
