Comments on: The Revolution Will Not Be Televised!!! http://theasicguy.com/2008/04/03/the-revolution-will-not-be-televised/ sharing insights into the people side of ASIC design Thu, 17 May 2012 14:00:32 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.2 By: FPGA & CPLD http://theasicguy.com/2008/04/03/the-revolution-will-not-be-televised/#comment-62 FPGA & CPLD Mon, 26 May 2008 17:08:39 +0000 http://theasicguy.com/2008/04/03/the-revolution-will-not-be-televised/#comment-62 Also take a look at what the FPGA Central (http://www.fpgacentral.com) & http://jobs.fpgacentral.com are doing. They have created a database of all all the Vendors/IPs etc and much more. Also take a look at what the FPGA Central (http://www.fpgacentral.com) & http://jobs.fpgacentral.com are doing.

I agree 100%. System-Verilog is not like VHDL or Verilog where you can just switch simulators. The OOP nature of System-Verilog means that you will naturally build up a library of reusable classes, whether using OVM or VMM or your own library. If so, you want to know that you can migrate the library to another vendor so you're not captive. >When users can break out of the vendor captive setups, we all benefit.

I pointed out to Karen back in March that Synopsys “open source standards” was just a marketing term and that
it was code I was interested in.

When users can break out of the vendor captive setups, we all benefit.

Very well said, Harry - I think this VMM/OVM discussion has been a good case study of the power of these naked conversations. These conversations were going on anyway, but once the positions were captured in blogs and were a google search away, the parties had to do something! I hope it results in something good for the engineering community. Kwam I can just hear Gil Scott Heron:-

The quote regarding “passionate content creators who know more about designing chips than any reporter could ever learn" came from a recent post on ronamok.com regarding the recent riffs of Gary Smith and Mike Santarini. Ron was also the one who gave me a sense of the traffic this post created. See you at DAC, Harry Hi JL,

The post on Cool Verification you're referring to plus one other related CV post have together had about 2400 page hits since I published them. I was shocked at the response to those posts, both on the blog and through some interesting emails I received in the following weeks. BTW, can I ask where the quote you reference came from? I'd be interested to read the entire original post. (btw... there's a typo in the spelling of my last name ;-). Take it easy, and I look forward to meeting up with you at DAC. JL Harry,
