QUESTIONS FOR ANIRUDH DEVGAN
Anirudh:
You're the Nth leader since Silicon Quest to take over Cadence
digital and declare a winning strategy (I think Hogan was #2).
Why will it work this time? Why are you any different than your
N predecessors?
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
What are you doing different at Cadence that Chi Ping didn't do?
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
Ask Anirudh how many engineers has he cut at Cadence since taking
over?
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
Do you really think Tempus has a chance against PrimeTime? Why?
After all your "RTL Compiler" completely flopped.
Why should we believe you with Tempus?
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
How do we know if you're not just having your R&D put SW wrappers
around your crappy tools and telling us they're "new"?
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
Cadence is making a lot of noise in signoff with Tempus and Voltus.
This is usually the domain of a startup that gains 3% marketshare
with friendly customers, that sells out to one of the Big 3, and
then stagnates.
Why is your Cadence R&D any different?
Why can't Aart do the same thing?
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
What's this "Project Novus" you're secretly telling customers?
Why is it secret? Do you not believe what you're saying?
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
Does Tom Beckley even know what you look like?
Why is there such a disconnect between full custom and digital
at Cadence?
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
What did your years under Rajeev teach you that you're now
applying at Cadence?
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
Why is Aart's Custom Designer doing so poorly against Virtuoso?
What do you think of Anton's Laker?
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
In your opinion what happened when Gregg and Wally made that
public error about Veloce beating Palladium?
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
OK, Gary says Palladium is winning against Veloce now.
What will CDNS say when the seesaw turns the other way?
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
Are your Palladium sales cannibalizing your Incisive sales?
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
Is the Verilog/VHDL SW simulation market flat or shrinking?
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
Was Forte a firesale acquisition?
Why buy Cynthesizer when you already had C-to-Silicon?
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
Why is Aart not really in C/SystemC/C++ synthesis while you
and MENT are?
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
What's it like to work for a CEO who's not an engineer?
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
How does Li-Bu decide what's correct when there are internal
technical disagreements?
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
How's the CDNS push into IP going? Has it failed yet?
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
Has buying Denali for $315 M paid off yet?
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
Why don't you guys buy ATOP instead of going through all the
trouble of rewriting the same SW?
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
What's it like being an Indian in a mostly Chinese company?
---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
How much do PCB tools contribute to the CDNS bottom line?
