Subject: Wall Street Curious About Sierra Pinnacle's True Overnight Story

Hi, John,

What do you hear about Sierra Design Automation and their claims about
Pinnacle handling far more gates overnight than Synopsys PhysOpt or
Magma Blast Fusion?  The numbers claimed are 10 M gates vs 2-3 M gates
for Synopsys and Magma.  What's the truth here?
