The better to test your engineering workforce's capabilities, my dearAnd it was a toy, filled with an impressive number of errata

After all, the difference between a good and bad engineer is how they react to bad hardware.
Good one starts documenting the issues and suggests fixes.
Bad one can't even tell where the issue lies.
You don't exercise your CPU design skills that way, which was the point of the discussion 😉The better to test your engineering workforce's capabilities, my dear

s/ansys/synopsys/Nah. You don't understand. Real men (and women, in my case) live life on the edge. "The design works in the sim and on the Veloce and the power and clock physicals look fine in ansys, ship it as soon as we get silicon back" is a perfectly valid flow!
(Jesus, just typing that is giving me hives.)
s/ansys/synopsis/
Ansys is being bought by Synopsys 😉Does Synopsys even make equivalents to stuff like Ansys Redhawk or Exalto?
Eh, hell with it, who cares? It's a problem for whoever gets the chip. Errata build character.

I don't do any physical stuff, not even synthesis, and RTL simulation only once every other year. But I used to work in a company that was later acquired by Ansys and still have one close friend there.Oh yeah. Huh. That is going to be so weird. I had read that when it was announced but I think I failed to internalize it because I don't do much physical-design stuff.
This reminds me Jez San had offered me a job to work on GNU compiler last century. I finally went to TI and wonder where I would be now if I had accepted...They're running ARC into the ground
