All EDA, All the Time: EDA Bloggers List

I never said Amdahl's Law wasn't true, it's just true for some specific circumstances. It's clearly not universal. Most products designed today are not single-program machines, they are collections of cooperating programs. Amdahl's Law seems much less applicable in such circumstances, at least to me and to my colleagues.

I can tell already that I''m going to have some fun with the blogging (and I''m going to get myself in trouble). WRT your comments on my first post -- I''ll see your Gustafson''s Law, and raise you John Gustafson himself: "the only people who said that Amdahl''s law wasn''t true were the PR people at Sandia and a couple of managers who should have known better, never the people who did the work." Gustafson was at the ICCAD awards dinner for Amdahl, and is part of the video presentation. I was really surprised at how reasonable he is (not at all what I expected after reading his paper -- which probably got tweaked without his permission). Anyway, it''s good fodder for debate, which I think the industry desperately needs right now.

There is also a list at www.skmurphy.com/blog/2008/05/28/bloggers-covering-electronic-design-automation/ that David used to construct his list of feeds. Your blogs are listed there, as well as some other sites that don't have feeds but are devoted to EDA topics. I enjoyed your talk at the EDA Bloggers BoF at DAC. Sean Murphy www.skmurphy.com/

Dave, Thanks for adding our blogs. I think your page is a real asset to the industry. And yes, a technology evangelist is a marketing role.

Hi Steve, It was great meeting you last week and hearing your perspective as a former editor-in-chief and marketing guy (I assume that's what a technology evangelist is?). And, huge apologies for oversight. It was completely unintentional! The list was entered manually, so there may be other blogs missing as well. I have now updated the page to include both feeds! Thanks, Dave
