The Power Of IP
By Ed Sperling - 08 Jul, 2010 - Comments: 0

By Ann Steffora Mutschler As the number of design starts goes down the corresponding complexity of SoCs has gone up—and continues to grow. Everyone is looking at the value they can bring to the table as increasing proportions of SoCs are either reused from pre-existing IP within the company designing the chip or brought in from outside. Because is economically impractical to start an SoC... » read more

End User Report: EDA Industry Realignment
By Ann Mutschler - 24 Jun, 2010 - Comments: 0

By Ann Steffora Mutschler The EDA industry has seen a number of large acquisitions as of late, most notably of Denali by Cadence, as well as CoWare, VaST and Virage Logic which were acquired by Synopsys, but just what impact does this realignment have on the biggest EDA customers? Commenting on these changes is Jean-Marc Chateau, director of system platforms and tools at STMicroelectronics, ... » read more

Connecting The Pieces
By Ann Mutschler - 24 Jun, 2010 - Comments: 0

By Ann Steffora Mutschler With the amount of IP blocks being integrated in SoCs today – in some cases as many as 100 blocks in a single chip – SoC design methodologies are shifting to address the new challenges this complexity brings. The good news is that these integration challenges has put the spotlight on the issues—along with the skyrocketing development costs for the creation, qual... » read more

The Future Of IP
By Ed Sperling - 24 Jun, 2010 - Comments: 0

By Ed Sperling The rapid consolidation of the IP business is raising big questions about who will be left, whether new companies will join, and what it means for chipmakers looking to buy IP. In a period of one month Synopsys bought Virage Logic, which had just finished a buying spree of its own with the acquisitions of ARC and the IP business of NXP, and Cadence bought Denali. So what exac... » read more

Synopsys Plus Virage: Combinatorics Or Common Sense?
By Jack Harding - 24 Jun, 2010 - Comments: 0

By Jack Harding It should be no surprise. The industry has been consolidating and expanding and consolidating for nearly 40 years. So when Virage Logic was gobbled up by Synopsys and Denali was ingested by Cadence, it is really a lot more of the same. Or is it? There is a difference. Synopsys has made it crystal clear that its definition of EDA now permanently includes IP. Not that acquirin... » read more

Synopsys To Buy Virage Logic
By Ed Sperling - 10 Jun, 2010 - Comments: 0

By Ed Sperling Synopsys bought Virage Logic today for $289 million, extending its IP portfolio well beyond just standard I/O and PHY into memory, logic and processor cores. The move strengthens Synopsys’ position as an all-in-one powerhouse with IP that can fit into an integrated flow. “A big part of the value is providing building blocks that work through the SoC flow,” said Joac... » read more

The Great Divide
By Ed Sperling - 27 May, 2010 - Comments: 0

By Ed Sperling One size no longer fits all, and that’s causing consternation across the supply chain from established EDA vendors to point tool developers all the way up to the largest chipmakers. While the overall number of design starts for SoCs really hasn’t changed much, despite a drop in the number of companies working at the most advanced process nodes, what has changed significan... » read more
