Subject: Is Speedsim's DEC History A Customer Liability?
Hi John,
Concerning your discussion about Speedsim where you mentioned that they did
a lot of cycle-based simulation work while at DAC: how can we be sure that
SpeedSim is not using Digital's prorietary technology? Digital has a pretty
fast in-house cycle-based simulator which is considered one of the reasons
of their success with Alpha development. They would not be very happy about
somebody selling this techonogy to their competitors. If I make a deal with
SpeedSim today and they get sued tomorrow by Digital, I would not like to
change my design methodology in the middle of my design cycle.
