63 DEATHS: Here's the companies that didn't make it to DAC'12 separated into
three major lists -- 3 "known dead" real EDA companies, 35 "unknown status"
real EDA companies, and 26 "not-really-EDA" companies -- all 64 of which had
shown at a prior DAC but were missing by/at DAC'12.
Missing at DAC'12 - 3 "known dead" real EDA companies:
ChipVision AG
GateRocket
Mephisto DA
No real surprizes here. Eveyone already knows these 3 are gone.

This is the land of questions. The web sites for AnaGlobe, CyberEDA,
Elastix, Lyngeunt, InPA Systems were last updated in 2011??? Nangate,
CAST, OneSpin, Tuscany, Silicon Frontline, Polyteda, Silvaco were all
at prior DAC's but were missing this year??? There's a whole group of
tools dedicated to C-based design, yet The Mathworks missed this DAC??
These are all mostly EDA companies where it's DAC or die. Are they
dead, dying, lost, just-forgot-there-was-a-DAC-this-year?
Missing at DAC'12 - 26 IPs, fabs, consultants, those not-really-EDA co's
ASIC Serve LTD
Avant Technology
BigC
Element 14
ExpertIO, Inc.
Hewlett-Packard
IBM
iHS iSuppli
InnoPower Tech
iNoCs
IQ-Analog
L&T Infotech
MoSys, Inc.

Silicon-IP, Inc.
Sonics, Inc.
STM-Products
UMC
X-Fab Semi Foundries
These are the not-really-EDA companies where DAC is "nice" for them,
but not a do-or-die situation. Fabs like IBM, UMC, X-FAB; IP companies
like ExpertIO, IQ-Analog, L&T Infotech, MoSys, PalmChip, Sonics; and
odd companies like BigC, Element 14, and iHS iSuppli. Are these co's
in trouble or not? Unsure.
19 HAPPY MARRIAGES: Here's the companies who had shown at DAC's before but
had not shown at DAC'12 because they were acquired.
Missing at DAC'12 - 19 acquired companies
Accelicon acquired by Agilent
Altos acquired by Cadence
AutoESL acquired by Xilinx
Azuro acquired by Cadence
CoFluent acquired bt Intel
CoWare, Inc. acquired by Synopsys
Denali acquired by Cadence
Extreme DA acquired by Synopsys
Isilon Systems acquired by EMC
LogicVision acquired by Mentor
Magma DA acquired by Synopsys
Prolific acquired by ARM
Rapid Bridge acquired by Qualcomm
Sequence acquired by Apache
Synchronicity acquired by Dassault
Synfora acquired by Synopsys
Vast Corp. acquired by Synopsys
Veridae acquired by Tektronix
Zeland acquired by Mentor
Yea, although most above were "happy" acquisitions, I'd hazard to say that
the Extreme DA and Magma deals were more like shotgun weddings -- or perhaps
more like two kidnap-murder situations -- depending how you view them.
