ITC: Test is getting harder, conferences getting smaller…
Happy Sunday! Test week is over, participants are back to their normal lives, perhaps off to another conference. Last time I blogged, it was Monday, after the first panel and 40th year reception. I’m going to try to blog a few notes throu...

Deep Chip survey results and DFT - believe John or Gary?
Last week, John Cooley published the results of his 2008 DeepChip Synopsys Survey, and of course I went straight to item #6, entitled “Synopsys DFT Compiler/TetraMAX vs. Mentor DFT Advisor/FastScan“. There are some surprises and head sc...
