And what makes this worse is that once you've implemented one vendors compression IP in your chip, you're stuck using their back-end tools (data collection, yield/failure analysis) to interpret results.<BR/><BR/>There was a standard drafted through Accellera (Aug 2006), and although all the big EDA firms were represented, I've yet to hear of anyone implementing to it...<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>JohnFJohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05040548057511945390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12511368.post-73119528810256730772008-02-29T17:01:00.000-08:002008-02-29T17:01:00.000-08:00Just to be clear - UPF was developed and supported...Just to be clear - UPF was developed and supported by Magama, Mentor and Synopsys.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12511368.post-41716042377370810762008-02-29T15:17:00.000-08:002008-02-29T15:17:00.000-08:00Hello, John - From one the "big vendors", we want ...Hello, John - <BR/><BR/>From one the "big vendors", we want one standard, too, and are willing to contribute in a formal setting to make it happen:<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://synopsysoc.org/thestandardsgame/?p=71" REL="nofollow">The Standards Game</A><BR/><BR/>I hope my counterparts will be willing to do the same.
