Two Moores’ Tales Gordon Moore – Moore’s Law Design complexity will double approximately every 12 -18 months Geoffrey Moore – Crossing the chasm etc. It’s important to recognize that differentiation-creation innovation and productivity-creating deconstruction must Innovation Productivity be conducted in tandem. If you try the former without the latter, the inertia demon defeats you. If you try the latter without the former, you do nothing to overcome the forces of commoditization… Harvard Business Review July/August 2004 © 2001 SPRINGSOFT INC. Company Confidential Information.

Is that possible? US Productivity growth ØSince 1996 averaged 2. 5% per year ØQ 2 2003 5. 7% ØQ 2 2004 1. 9% • Worldwide • China 1978 -2001 average 6. 6% per year • India 3. 4% per year • European telecommunications industry 1990’s ~18% per year © 2001 SPRINGSOFT INC.

Is that possible? Yes it is – and has the been the case over many years Essentially flat ITRS © 2001 SPRINGSOFT INC. Company Confidential Information. Duplication, reuse or transfer of ownership requires advanced written authorization

Yes is it Possible! Recent effects Ø ESL will have a small effect according to Gartner § I believe it will have a much bigger effect Ø Big gain from very large block re-use § platforms The previous productivity improver Ø Intelligent testbench § There is lots more to be gained here as well Ø This was actually the enabler for the ESL transition Productivity growth is the driver for new tools. © 2001 SPRINGSOFT INC.

Customer Testimonial "Our teams work on extremely complex designs with advanced process technologies, often involing very large gate counts and significant amounts of third-party IP. These factors increase the magnitude of the verification challenge and impose additional time and cost constraints on our engineering efforts. With Verdi system, we are able to implement a much more effective, automated debug methodology for finding problems faster and earlier in the development cycle.
