Many of you already received communications about the move of the Cadence user community into cadence.com. And many of you have already joined, with over 4000 registrations in the first two weeks.

The new Cadence Community enhances the ability of Cadence users to connect and collaborate. In addition to moving the community into cadence.com -- enabling single sign-on for community, Sourcelink and Cadence events -- the new site is organized around nine technology segments, giving you easy access to product information, training, forums and blogs. Some of the new features include:
  • Ability to respond to posts via e-mail
  • Technology-specific blogs
  • Latest Web 2.0 social networking capabilities
  • Public profile options
  • Private messaging
  • Friends lists
Visit the new Cadence Community today at www.cadence.com/community and join the discussions!

Registration note: Due to the scope of the enhancements and the new SSO registration system, we were not able to migrate existing cdnusers.org member accounts. So new registrations are required, but this enables a broader set of functionality we think you'll enjoy.

Forum note: Under the guidance of forum moderators, we have taken the 20+ cdnusers.org forums and consolidated them into 11 forums on the new site. Posts have been brought over so you can leverage that posting history. CDNusers forums will be set to read only starting 7/30, and cdnusers.org will be redirected to the new community on 8/4.

Best regards,
Mike and Tom

Hello everybody,

not too sure yet as what youa re expecting from this forums. We do know what we want to make of them i.e.e a place where we, the users, can discuss issues, share best practices and share our frustration but I would like to know what you would like to see here.

For a start I am curious to see what are your top 5 most common problems and get an idea of which tool you are using for synthesis as well as for test insertion/analysis.

This is our forum so let give it life.

Thanks,
Eric Venditti (forum moderator)

I just wanna tell me , what tools we r using.
basically we use all cadence tools for front end and backend design.
As my experience RTL compiler becoming very big competitor for Design compiler in 1 yr.
i use both DC and RC for synthesis. What i saw difference in RC is run time faster and handle big design in minimum time.

placement> Physical compiler is good.
Logic Synthesis> RTL compiler is good.

Overall RTL Comipler and Encounter Test is very good tools my point of View.

Have a nice day

Top five problems? Oooo, lets see....

1) Unrealistic timescales
2) Poor RTL code from 3rd parties (internal and external)
3) Unrealistic expectation from customer or management
4) Incomplete constraints
5) Umm, maybe the odd tool issue

As for synth, should use DC, but have also been using RC (and been pushing internally for the central cad guys to globally support RC).

Test insertion is done using the synth tool for scan chains.

As for what I'd like to see here? I'd like a forum where I can hang out with all the other "middle-end" hobbits, pick up or share tips and bitch about management ;-)
