Subject: Reader Snarkies on C-to-Silicon, Gerry Hsu Atoptech, Specman "e"
Editor's Note: On almost every story I publish, I usually get email
feedback from readers in the form of fairly concise comments that
can sometimes be very insightful, but are more often cynical; which
is why I call them "snarkies". I usually don't publish snarkies
because I didn't think readers would be interested in them -- but
I have since been told otherwise. So here they are. Please tell
me if you want more reader snarkies in the future or not. - John

Burn!

Oh, man, that Cadence guy slammed you, Cooley!
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
That guy's really mad at you.
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
zing
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
He must be having a bad day. He slammed you.
Cadence has mngmnt handlers who make sure execs
don't respond like this in public.
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
burn
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
The day after the Cooley-Bishop debate the polls show Cooley
falling behind by 50 percentage points. :)
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
oh, snap
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
He schooled you good, John.
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
Burn
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
CDNS: 1 Cooley: 0
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
that CDN guy got you good
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
Is that Phil Bishop from Magma? If so, you must have
really pissed him off. Normally he's a mellow guy.
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
ouch for you
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
That Cadence exec has a point.
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
You got pwned Cooley!
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
It's good that you publish letters from people who
disagree with you. Shows you're fair.
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
your death spiral theary was true for behavioral compiler.
when they couldn't sell BC, synopsys sales gave it away.
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
Sucks to be on the recieving side, don't it Cooley?
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
The CatC guys gave out some free licenses so they could
claim a certain logo used it. They didn't use it.
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
Ask Bishop for the dollar amounts of each of these deals.
I'll bet his total for all C2S deals is under $3 million.
That's nothing for a $1.2 billion Cadence.

I knew it!
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
Sounds like you've been talking to ICC people.
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
Now it all makes sense.
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
I could see Eric Thune as a consigliere. He certainly acts
that way.
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
Just don't tell anyone that the Sierra guys told you this! :)
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
Funny
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
That don't add up. If Gerry was Atop's Godfather their
sales cycles would be much quicker. He'd break customer's
legs until they signed the P.O.
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
good one
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
Wrong. Gerry can't even spell EDA any more.

I think it's in all of Europe - we are engaging basically every
consultant who knows Specman "e" that we can find and are
currently down to old eastern European states and lots of really
good Indians that we move here to Sweden.
You cannot find anyone in verification anymore who really knows
Specman "e". It's gotten so bad that it is impacting our whole
verification strategy and tool selection. We'll do verification
in any way possible if we can get the right people.
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
Please, John, get more info on Synopsys and Mentor Specman "e"
simulators that you uncovered last year. I asked locally and
salesmen from both companies say that you're full of it.
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
Looking at the job market in Germany for the last months, there
were a handful of openings for verification engineers with
Specman skills. But, I would not describe it as "big demand".
A few months ago local a Intel subsdiary looked for verification
engineers with "virtual prototyping skills" (System Verilog,
SystemC), after they failed with their first product.
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
UK? Germany? Try the shortage here in the valley.
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
pay for my house, i will move to england.

Editor's Note: As I said at the beginning of this post, please tell me if
you want more reader snarkies like these in the future or not. - John
