Making a Connection

A few years ago I took the train from San Diego back home to Sunnyvale. This actually involved three steps: a commuter train to LA, Amtrak to San Jose, and then a commuter train to Sunnyvale.

The train is a fabulous way to travel. However, it is also true that Amtrak is fabulous as long as you don’t have to be anywhere at any particular time. And, true to form, we stayed stationary in San Luis Obispo for a couple hours while they sorted out some crew problem.

I had planned the trip … Read More → "Making a Connection"

Paradox of Pursuit

Rube Goldberg couldn’t have designed a more elegant confluence of convoluted causal relationships.  Start analyzing the perplexing paradox of the FPGA synthesis market and each link of the chain reveals a bizarre force vector that eventually doubles back onto itself into an unlikely equilibrium that miraculously has held stable for a full decade despite disruptive forces of epic proportions.

For over a decade now, Synplify has navigated these waters and has continued to survive and thrive through the unlikeliest of conditions.  Now in the hands of EDA giant Synopsys, … Read More → "Paradox of Pursuit"
