CodeProject The quality of software is assessed by a number of variables. These variables can be divided into external and internal quality criteria. External quality is what a user experiences when running the software in its operational mode. Internal quality refers to aspects that are code-dependent, and that are not visible to the end-user. [...] Continue reading What is software quality? In March 2010, exactly a year ago, Tabula announced its product, the 40-nm ABAX device. The device promised a little revolution with its virtual 3D architecture, based on time multiplexing and continuous reconfiguration of its logic. At the time I mirrored Tabula’s announcement with Tier Logic’s, another PLD startup. I wondered whether Tabula could [...] Continue reading Tabula closed $108M, they’re for real. Right? I don’t usually report news. I rather comment on them, or take position on various subjects. But for once, I’ll make an exception. I wrote a few posts on EDA and cloud computing –the latest was as recent as last week, where I posted about security in the cloud after a thread of comments [...] Continue reading Synopsys is getting into the cloud Today’s cloud market is hard to estimate and depends a lot on the analyst. One report predicts that the global cloud computing market is expected to grow from $37.8 billion in 2010 to $121.1 billion in 2015, with SaaS (Software as a Service) contributing for three quarter of this market. Regardless of the actual [...] Continue reading EDA in the cloud: shall we be scared? Cloud computing is becoming more pervasive in many aspects of the day-to-day business of companies: archiving, payroll, CRM, etc. Whenever the cost of acquiring, maintaining, and scaling one’s own IT resources becomes too high, cloud computing start to become attractive. ASIC and digital system design is a computing resource-hungry task that would certainly benefit [...] Continue reading Cloud computing: an opportunity for EDA A month ago I stumbled upon Plunify, a startup that gives a fresh twist to EDA. Founded by HarnHua Ng and Kirvy Teo and established in Singapore, Plunify provides online access to various FPGA synthesis tools in the cloud. Through a slick web 2.0 interface, the user submits its design, which is then synthesized [...] Continue reading Plunify, a glimpse at EDA in the cloud |
