2nd Place in a Market vs. 2nd Place in a Lawsuit
Posted on Sunday, April 3, 2011 - 01:12 by Sean Murphy from the site SKMurphy
Second place in a market can still allow a company to be profitable and growing. Second place in a lawsuit can impact not only profits and growth but viability.

761 Days
Posted on Tuesday, March 29, 2011 - 18:13 by harry from the site harry ... the ASIC guy
761 days. That’s 2 years, 1 month, and 3 days. 761 days ago, I hosted a small group of interested EDA folks, journalists, and bloggers in a small room in the Doubletree hotel after one of the evenings after DVCon. Most of the discussion that year was around OVM and VMM and which methodology was going to win out and which was really open and which simulator supported more of the System-Verilog language. Well, all that is put to bed.

Winners and Losers
Posted on Monday, March 7, 2011 - 00:20 by harry from the site harry ... the ASIC guy
Engineers tend to view the world in binary. There’s the good guys and the bad guys. There’s the right way and the wrong way. There are rich folks and poor folks. Democrats and Republicans. You’re with us or against us. And there are winners and losers. This week, working the Agnisys booth at DVCon, I got to see all these types and all the shades in between. I got to see the good guys (me, of course, and anyone who was with me) and the bad guys (the competition).

How One Designer Started His Company - Agnisys
Posted on Monday, February 28, 2011 - 10:34 by harry from the site harry ... the ASIC guy
I met Anupam Bakshia last year as one of the winner’s of the Xuropa Do More With Less Contest. We’ve kept in touch since then, so when he mentioned that he was going to be a first time exhibitor at DVCon, I was thrilled. Bootstrapping a company is difficult, and attending a conference is a big commitment of time and resources. Anupam asked for Xuropa’s help, so if you go to DVCon this week you will see me in the Agnisys booth.

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.

Better and/or Faster Results More Compelling Than Cheaper For EDA
Posted on Thursday, January 20, 2011 - 20:34 by Sean Murphy from the site SKMurphy
Here is a recent exchange from the LSC mailing list I had with an EDA startup founder EDA Tools Founder: We are small EDA tools startup. We captured great value because we built a pretty neat product without investment that can match others(*) who were built using >5M-25M investment. Trouble is the software is costly and it takes a long sales cycle to sell. SKMurphy: Depending on which problem area you are addressing in EDA your customers are not likely to be bargain hunting.

My Interview With Peggy Ayecinena
Posted on Tuesday, November 23, 2010 - 09:01 by Sean Murphy from the site SKMurphy
I was interviewed by Peggy Aycinena about six months ago and she subsequently published it in July on the GabeOnEDA site as “Business 101: Art & Magic of EDA Marketing.” Peggy has always appreciated that the technology is nothing without the team and it’s the people you need to focus on and understand if you want to fully appreciate what changes are coming in the semiconductor/EDA markets. She has done more to help profile the players than any other journalist in electronics in the last decade.

How Conferences Will Persist: Rebooting DAC
Posted on Saturday, November 13, 2010 - 00:08 by Sean Murphy from the site SKMurphy
There comes a moment in a roller coaster ride when everything seems to come to  a stop for an instant: you are just cresting the top of rise and the amusement park is spread out all around you. Time stands still for a moment that seems like it might last forever.  And then slowly, but with increasing speed, you start to return to the ground. I think the Design Automation Conference reached that peak experience somewhere between 2000 and 2005.
