( SNUG 10 Item 5b ) --------------------------------------------- [04/22/10]
Subject: How 238 users see "Primary EDA Vendor" pitch (part II)
I DON'T GET IT (Part II): Synopsys Corporate Marketing openly insults its
base by asking users to commit to a Primary EDA Vendor deal that customers
generally don't want. (See SNUG10 #5a.) I don't get it. Why?
Could you please name (by company) all the different EDA vendors
your company uses to get from design algorithms to GDSII tapeout?
Synopsys : ################################################# 94%
Cadence : ############################################ 87%
Mentor : ######################################### 81%
Magma : ######### 18%
Denali : ############## 27%
Atrenta : ############# 26%
Springsoft : ############ 25%
Apache : ########## 19%
Xilinx : ######### 17%
Altera : ####### 13%
Actel : # 2%
Mathworks : ######## 16%
Extreme-DA : ##### 10%
Tanner : #### 7%
Atoptech : ### 6%
RealIntent : ### 4%
Incentia : ## 3%
Azuro : ## 3%
Oasys : .4%
others : ################## 37%
With this and other data, I estimate the average engineering group whose
flow goes algorithm-to-GDSII uses tools from 8 different EDA suppliers.
