透过3 个keynote-- Cadence,TSMC, ARM,John Cooley 告诉我们背后的故事:
1.一般EDA 公司的CEO 都是工程师出身,而Cadence 的现任CEO Lip Bu Tan (陈立武)是商人出生,他是一个华人,与大中华地区的关系很好。
2.Cadance 与TSMC 的关系没有SYNOPSYS与TSMC的那么好,不过现在是在改善。
3.S 买了Virage(with its ARC cores and Artisan libs))之后,多了很多IP卖,其实与ARM构成了一定的竞争关系,于是ARM不想S一家独大,扶持一下C。
所以就有了:These 3 keynotes were just a repeat of what Cadence said earlier "that ARM, Cadence and TSMC successfully taped out the first Cortex-A15 20 nm test chipin September 2011. Built on the TSMC N20G process, it includes a single CPU with 32 KB L1 cache, 512 KB L2 cache, and 2 million instances."
