[ Editor's Note: For the past few months I've been mercilessly badgering
Synopsys to publically tell me exactly who has been actually using
Behavioral Compiler for real, live chip designs. And, for the longest
time, I got the usual smoke & mirrors until recently... - John ]

Subject: Naming Names About Who's Using Behavioral Compiler, Tapeouts, Etc.
Hi John,
Just completed a quick poll of our BC users and have some great news to
share... BC has crossed the 50 tapeout mark. Attached (below) are details
for 36+ HLS and 14 BOA/BRT. Current run rate is 1-2 tapeouts/month.
Now, I know we still have a number of open product issues (such as reduce
the need for DesignWare, etc..) but it is time for a celebration.
Happy BC'ing
