4Q08 EDA Market Forecast
4Q08 EDA Market Forecast
2008 is shaping up to be the worst year in recent history for EDA. At the outset of 2008, it looked like it would be a pretty good year. Having just come off of two consecutive years of 10 percent growth, 2008 showed signs of fairly robust demand, albeit a bit lower than the previous couple of years. The EDA market appears headed to decline...

ESL – The Software Story
by Daya Nadamuni
In the software domain the free lunch is disappearing. The free lunch refers to the bloat that software programs were undergoing as hardware became faster and faster. Performance gains in software came more from technology advances in hardware than in software. However now that the multicore era is here to stay, a balancing act needs to happen between the software and hardware domains to achieve optimal system design...
