Altium Looking to Gain Altitude in the Cloud
Posted on Sunday, January 30, 2011 - 13:50 by harry from the site harry ... the ASIC guy
Over the holiday break, I came across an interview of Altium CIO Alan Perkins that caught my eye. Sramana Mitra has been focusing on interesting cloud-based businesses and this interview focused on how this EDA company was planning to move into the cloud. I wasn’t able to talk to Alan Perkins directly, but I was able to find out more through their folks in the US (the company is based in Australia). It was interesting enough to warrant a post. I knew very little about Altium before seeing this interview and maybe you don’t either, so here is a little background.

Synopsys’ Digital to Analog Conversion
Posted on Wednesday, May 13, 2009 - 01:51 by harry from the site harry ... the ASIC guy
Last Thursday, the same day that Synopsys announced it’s acquisition of MIPS’ Analog Business Group (ABG) for $22M in cash, I had a long overdue lunch with a former colleague of mine at Synopsys. We spent most of the time talking about family, and how each other’s jobs were going, and the economy, and the industry in general. At some point, the discussion got around to Aart DeGeus and his leadership qualities. My friend, who plays bass guitar with Aart on occasion, shared with me his observations of Synopsys’ CEO outside of work.

EDA Is Only “Mostly Dead”
Posted on Wednesday, March 4, 2009 - 03:08 by harry from the site harry ... the ASIC guy
Last Wednesday at DVCon, Peggy Aycinena MC’ed what used to be known as the Troublemakers Panel, formerly MC’ed by John Cooley. The topic, “EDA: Dead or Alive?” Well, having attended Aart’s Keynote address immediately preceding and having attended Peggy’s panel discussion, I can answer that question in the immortal words of Miracle Max, “EDA is only MOSTLY dead”.
