Like many technology industry segments, the electronic design automation (EDA) chip tool space is not immune to buzzy technology trends that attract the attention of the “Big Three” tool vendors – Synopsys, Siemens EDA (formerly Mentor Graphics), and Cadence. The effect of these trends is to set off a horse race that pits each company’s particular approach against the others. Today, that EDA space trend is Silicon Lifecycle Management.
In an earlier story,
Design News covered Synopsy s expansion into the chip product lifecycle space. Now it’s time for another perspective.
Many industry insiders point to Siemens EDA (the new name for pioneering EDA company Mentor Graphics) and its June 2020 acquisition of the UK-based silicon lifecycle leader UltraSoc as the next significant play for the current silicon lifecycle trend.
It’s a trick question.
So far as we can recall, no official complete live album was ever recorded at the now largely demolished Mission Valley stadium that used to be fondly known as “The Q” and “The Murph.” But The Who
did record three songs at The Murph for the English band’s 25th anniversary 1989 live double-album, “Join Together.” And part of Coldplay’s October 2017 SDCCU Stadium show was broadcast live at a Mexico City benefit concert on behalf of victims of that September’s Puebla earthquake.
The booming slap-back echo, an unmistakable trademark of the 67,544-seat stadium, did not lend itself well to live albums. Even so, the largest outdoor-events venue in San Diego County hosted dozens of memorable and not-so-memorable concerts over the decades. Its razing is expected to be completed by the end of summer, with San Diego State University’s new 35,000-seat Aztec Stadium set to open in September 2022.
