DAC Vision from Aart de Geus
Today I am continuing with the vision talks given by EDA executives during DAC 2013 in Austin. The series started with Mentor’s Wally Rhines who talked about the coming end to Moore’s Law and the way in which the industry will get around that problem. Then Cadence’s Lip Bu Tan talked about the two platforms that have been driving the industry and the third even larger one that is just getting started. Today it is the turn of Synopsys founder, chairman and co-CEO – Aart de Geus.
“50 years of design automation, 50 years, and we the EDA industry are enabling the greatest techonomic push-pull in human history” is how Aart started his talk. He explained that we have enabled an exponential growth that has never before been seen in mankind. Such leaps are usually made up of a 50 year push phase followed by a 50 year applications pull. As past examples he cited the renaissance and the industrial age.
