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

BONUS TIP : Type "help whatsnew" in Conformal LEC version 7.1 and onwards to get all the new commands! - - - TIP OF THE MONTH : Reporting similarity between two designs Situation: You may have two gate-level netlists that are from different stages of the design flow (for example: post-synthesis netlist and post-layout netlist). Or you may have two netlists from different synthesis runs that are using different optimization techniques. Or you may receive two netlist that you have no information about (such as two netlist, on that has been ECO'd). Perhaps you have non-equivalents, or are experiencing long compare run times, maybe due to complex datapaths. For whatever reason, your goal is to "measure" the similarity between two designs. A method is to use Conformal LEC's new command: "report design similarity" The measurement results are expressed as a % value between 0 and 100. Design similarity is quantified by comparing the corresponding points between the two designs. The two designs do not need to be equivalent in order to execute this command. LEC Command: > REPORT DESIGN SIMILARITY (new command for LEC 7.1) Switches: "-Golden" -means Revised design (design on right side) is used as reference. -default is the above "-INStance " -if you wish to target an instance -default is the entire design Usage: -execute command after switching to LEC mode. -can be useful for debugging and profiling. Example: report design similarity -Golden -Instance mult* -this displays all the similarities between instances with this name. -this is useful if you have components such as multipliers which you want to profile. For even more detailed information, in LEC type: > HELP DESIGN SIMILARITY FEEDBACK from the Readers: This is a new command which we think users will find creative uses for... If so, please post your feedback to this thread. Thanks!
