The semiconductor market has changed dramatically over the twenty years
we’ve been active investors. One interesting constant is the rolling of
major architectural underpinnings about once-a-decade. We’ve seen the
emphasis shift from gate arrays, to FPGA’s to now more sophisticated
programmable architectures. We were at the forefront of the EDA
industry, and have seen it too experience a once-a-decade rollover of
design methodology. With nanoscale fabs now online, it is time for a
new generation of tools, test equipment and chips to emerge.
