Friday Sep. 05, 2008 One on One: Kunihiko Tsuboi Next in our interview series, Kunihiko Tsuboi offers a Japanese perpective on the IP marketplace. Kunihiko Tsuboi has joined in Sony cooperation since 1978. He worked on VLSI process development, and mask data preparation system. Since 2002 he also has worked for STARC (Semiconductor Technology Academic Research Centor), where he worked on IP reuse system development, and he has been in charge of Mixed-Signal design group since 2004.

Posted by Warren Savage on Friday Sep. 05, 2008 | Add a Comment Wednesday Sep. 03, 2008 One on One: Gabriele Saucier The first of my interviews with executives in the IP market begin with Gabrielle Saucier from Design and Reuse. 
Gabriele Saucier got her PHD at the university of Grenoble where she was a professor and was heading a research lab on Integrated System Design. She conducted about 100 PHDs and published more than 350 papers in the Design and EDA field. She is a IEEE fellow for her contributions in synthesis, test generation an fault tolerance. Leaving her university career, she founded in the nineties a synthesis company IST (for innovative Synthesis Technologies) mainly dedicated to FPGA synthesis and in 97 Design and Reuse dedicated to IP Based design. She launched 2 successful conferences namely Euroasic and IP/SOC. Continue reading "One on One: Gabriele Saucier" »

As part of my job with IPextreme I get the wonderful opportunity to speak with dozens of executives involved in the semiconductor business and have been able to bring into discussion a wide-ranging number of topics to this forum. I am a lucky guy to sit in this perch!  Continue reading "One on One: Warren Savage" »
Posted by Warren Savage on Monday Sep. 01, 2008 | Add a Comment Friday Jul. 25, 2008 Live your dreams Today is a sad but uplifting day. Last fall I wrote about Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon University, who was dying of pancreatic cancel. Dr. Pausch died today, but his "Last Lecture" lives on with inspiration for us all. Among many wisdom's that he passes along in the lecture is my favorite: It is not about achieving your dreams but living your life. If you lead your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself. The dreams will come to you. Reprinted below is my original blog on my thoughts on seeing Randy's last lecture.

Posted by Warren Savage on Friday Jul. 25, 2008 | Add a Comment Tuesday May. 06, 2008 IP Urban Legends Stop me if you heard this one before. An engineering manager tells you a horror story of purchasing an IP core purely on the basis of price. Engineering wanted the other more expensive solution, but management instructed them to go with the cheapest solution.  Continue reading "IP Urban Legends" »

About the Author
Warren Savage, President and CEO of IPextreme, is a well-known and published authority in the field of semiconductor intellectual property.
He has a long history of pushing the envelope of design methodology from his work in fault tolerant computing at Tandem Computers in the 1980's and driving reliable design metholologies into commercial practice at Synopsys for its DesignWare IP product in the 1990s.
Much of his thinking became embodied in the seminal book on IP reuse, the Reuse Methodology Manual. Warren is taking his vision to the next level with his latest company, IPextreme, which is focused on enabling broad commercialization of IP captive in large semiconductor companies.
