We had an interesting discussion with Dan Nenni about social media in the semiconductor and electronic design automation industries. Dan shared some of his extensive experience with LinkedIn, blogging, and other new media channels. He gave good advice for bloggers – both those starting out and those who’ve been publishing for a while. We talked about the need to improve communications in our industry which could help EDA grow. Finally, we learned about Dan’s new venture, SemiWiki, which includes a crowd-sourced wiki, blogs, and forums.

Walter Ng and Dr. John Heinlein discuss the successful ARM-Common Platform-Synopsys 32/28nm collaboration and then discuss the challenges at 20nm and the collaboration already underway there.

In this Conversation Central we talked about technology and market megatrends from nanometers through SoCs and the software that drives them. Simon discusses the complexity of design and requirement for integration of cores. In addition he chats about the difficulty a single company has delivering completely optimized solution and the need for earlier and deeper engagement across the entire design cycle. Furthermore, find out how new technologies such as SOI and multi-core are being adopted.
