Comments on: Which Direction for EDA - 2D, 3D, or 360? http://theasicguy.com/2010/05/23/which-direction-for-eda-2d-3d-or-360/ sharing insights into the people side of ASIC design Thu, 17 May 2012 16:20:01 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.2 By: Michał Siwiński http://theasicguy.com/2010/05/23/which-direction-for-eda-2d-3d-or-360/#comment-1904 Michał Siwiński Fri, 28 May 2010 05:10:10 +0000 http://theasicguy.com/2010/05/23/which-direction-for-eda-2d-3d-or-360/#comment-1904 As long as the hiker ask, it will start a path of decisions. The status quo is the enemy, and the EDA industry has been historically... well, stuck admiring the status quo. Not all customers can continue to differentiate by going to the next node. True, costs are part of it, but the problem is bigger... we, as consumers, in a way don't care as much about how it runs, but rather what it runs. After all, do you know or really care what processor speed your smart-phone is running at? Probably not, but its applications are a different story...

The answer is yes. Yes to 2d, 3d and application-centric. We should move in each of these directions. I don't think we'll know the right answer until we do them all, and I suspect like so many other times in technology which is the right answer depends on your particular question, or in this case design problem.

The hiker should ask either of the two gentleman "If I were to ask this gentleman here if this is the way I should go, would he say yes?". This way he factors in the lie in the response. The hiker should then follow the opposite of the advise. I'll comment on the EDA puzzle after I read the rest of the story :) The answer to the riddle is not correct.
