The emerging middle class of EDA
Many people look to me for predictions about changes in the EDA industry and some even talk about predictions that I made 10 years or more ago that are proving to be true.

One of those changes hit me in the face at DAC this year. It is the way in which the EDA industry itself is changing. The business models, the notions of startups being acquired by the big three as they consolidate the industry to provide front to back flows for the complete design cycles has almost stopped. Those days are over, or at the very least in decline.
