Sunday Feb. 03, 2008 Transparency Arrives Almost a year ago, I completed my first post in this space, “Are we ready for pricing transparency?” Intrigued by a call to arms by Jim Tully’s (Gartner) keynote speech at the IP-SOC 2006 where he called for more openness from IP vendors in the pricing strategies with customers and recommended that IP providers do a better job of demonstrating the value of what we are providing. I mused in that post about the possibilities.

Marking the 10th anniversary of the show, Madame Saucier once again put on show with an eclectic mix of IP suppliers, their EDA suppliers, and a healthy dose of input from the academic world on the topic of design reuse. I was privileged to lead a very engaging panel session on the topic of IP standards with the help of industry luminaries Bill Martin, Ian Mackintosh, Pierre Bricaud, Victor Berman, and rounded out with Jacques Galbrun of ST providing a large company insider’s viewpoint. If you weren’t there, you missed it.  Continue reading "Goodbye 2007 -- Hello 2008" »

Let me ride through the wide open country that I love, Don't fence me in.  Continue reading "Don't Fence Me In" »

Posted by Warren Savage on Tuesday Oct. 23, 2007 | Add a Comment Monday Oct. 01, 2007 Power to the People Last week about 400 people from around the world descended upon Austin, Texas for the first annual Power Architecture Developers Conference. It was a remarkable two days of seeing competitors lay down their weapons to come together for the nerd equivalent of the Summer of Love. 
As I’ve mentioned in this space on several occasions, the future of the semiconductor business will require collaboration and healthy ecosystems. I participated in two panels. Continue reading "Power to the People" »

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.
