DAC 2012 Gary Smith EDA Kickoff: EDA and ESL Growth and Four Different Software Virtual PrototypesCadence Blog - Frank SchirrmeisterJun. 05, 2012 |
DAC 2012 kicked off yesterday with the annual DAC Reception followed by Gary Smith's keynote detailing challenges in EDA. For system-level design there was some really good news, but also some interesting detailed refinement on how much effort virtual prototyping for enablement of software development really takes.
Good news first. Gary put the 2011 EDA market in 2011 at $4,989M with a growth of 12% over 2010. Gary Smith EDA (GSEDA) remains optimistic for 2012, estimating the market to grow to $5,635M at a 12.9% rate.
