CodeProject In the late 50’s, when people programmed close to metal (read: with assembly languages) on a daily basis, there were only two so-called high-level programming languages: Fortran and Lisp. Both are still in use, even though they are considered passé (yet, I consider Lisp and its Zen-like syntax as one of the best languages [...] Continue reading Is C++ passé? On Thursday I received the following message on my phone.

I’ll make a presentation there, please join and let’s talk about the future of EDA and chip design. These are the slides. And to make sure we keep our cool about all this:

Imera has shut down its operations, leaving behind a number of customers (Broadcom, TSMC, Qualcomm, Sandisk, Infineon, Synopsys, Cadence, Mentor, etc). Usually a customer requiring support means that some design data need to be sent [...] Continue reading Imera’s end is only a beginning |
