QUESTIONS FOR AART DE GEUS OF SYNOPSYS
I guess it is good to be king.
Then you don't have to sit through a panel and be put on the
spot to answer questions from your customers, all of whom
made you king.
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
To Aart:
In the old days you used to compete by having better tools.
It seems now that's changed to having better lawyers. Why?
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
In the end, was buying Magma worth 1/2 a billion dollars?
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
Why are your skipping half of DAC this year?
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
All the best engineers are leaving EDA to go to the Google's
and Facebook's of the world.
It can only get worse since clearly EDA is neither exciting
nor rewarding for its engineering types. How's the future
of the industry looking with that in mind?
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
You're at the top. Where do you plan to go from there?
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
How do you plan to counter CDNS taking a 2nd run at PrimeTime?
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
Clearly Synopsys and Cadence aren't represented because they,
by definition, aren't troublemakers.
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
QUESTIONS TO LIP-BU TAN OF CADENCE
CDN/SNPS:
Why would you duck these edgy panels often? Afraid? Don't have
enough edgy tools/solutions?
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
To Jim and Lip-bu -
Atoptech wants to sell to Cadence for $300 million. Cadence
says NFW. In your opinion, what's a fair price for ATOP?
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
Are you glad you went into EDA?
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
What odds do you give that Tempus will take away 20% market
share within 3 years?
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
Why does Cadence only marginally support Specman "e"?
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
QUESTIONS TO SIMON SEGARS OF ARM
ARM is a smaller and younger vendor comparing to EDA big-3.
Yet it has much bigger influence in the IC design ecosystem.
What can EDA companies learn from ARM?
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
Did you invite Simon from ARM? He's good. I'd think you'd
see him as a fellow troublemaker, too.
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
John -- Why didn't you invite ARM?
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
To Simon Segars:
When is Intel going to fab its first ARM core?
