听说springsoft被synopsys收购了

SpringSoft的界面做的比Synopsys友好多了。
Synopsys取SpringSoft之长也是很好的事情。

就怕收购之后就做烂掉了。。。不过现在verdi也够好用

class之类的动态数据类型好像无法dump吧，dve里面似乎也只能查看数值。

这样一家独大垄断市场可非常不好！
还是需要有竞争才能有进步，才能压价。

EDA小公司是不是心里会松口气？总算少了家竞争的

atrenta做得风生水起，已经不能算“小公司”了
还有另外一个公司做得东西跟atrenta spyglass系列差不多
忘记名字了
early closure这个方向实在太火，而且实在是太需要了
另外syn也刚刚收购了Ciranova，做analog layout的
这块Cadence一直是老大，synopsys要跟它死磕了

Verdi 3里面不是能配合波形显示uvm object的东西了么

白做了，以后整合进VCS不需要原来的做法了。估计cadence的前端会开始悲剧了

放心吧
客户们不傻的
客户现在故意会把一些份额留给cadence的，哈哈

SpringSoft Agrees to be Acquired by Synopsys
August 3rd, 2012

We are pleased to inform you that on August 3rd, 2012, SpringSoft and Synopsys signed a definitive agreement for Synopsys to acquire SpringSoft. While the transaction is subject to the approval of SpringSoft shareholders, regulatory review and other customary closing conditions, we anticipate the closing to occur before the end of January 2013.

We are excited that the combination of SpringSoft's and Synopsys' industry-leading verification technology portfolios will help accelerate delivery of a unified, powerful system-on-chip (SoC) debug environment and a next-generation custom-design platform, enabling design teams to continue to meet the demands of today's complex electronic designs.

Your business is very important to us, and we appreciate your commitment to SpringSoft. Until the final closing of the acquisition, SpringSoft and Synopsys will continue to conduct business as separate entities. For all SpringSoft sales and support requirements, please continue to call on your current SpringSoft contacts. Inquiries regarding Synopsys products should be directed to your Synopsys Account Manager.

Once the acquisition closes, we will work quickly to integrate the two organizations to ensure uninterrupted support.

Sincerely,

Martin Lu
Chariman and CEO
SpringSoft, Inc.
