One on One: Gabriele Saucier
The first of my interviews with executives in the IP market begin with Gabrielle Saucier from Design and Reuse.
Gabriele Saucier got her PHD at the university of Grenoble where she was a professor and was heading a research lab on Integrated System Design. She conducted about 100 PHDs and published more than 350 papers in the Design and EDA field. She is a IEEE fellow for her contributions in synthesis, test generation an fault tolerance. Leaving her university career, she founded in the nineties a synthesis company IST (for innovative Synthesis Technologies) mainly dedicated to FPGA synthesis and in 97 Design and Reuse dedicated to IP Based design. She launched 2 successful conferences namely Euroasic and IP/SOC.

One on One: Warren Savage
As regular readers know, this space offers a forum for me to speak about my views about the semiconductor IP market. As part of my job with IPextreme I get the wonderful opportunity to speak with dozens of executives involved in the semiconductor business and have been able to bring into discussion a wide-ranging number of topics to this forum. I am a lucky guy to sit in this perch!

Live your dreams
Today is a sad but uplifting day. Last fall I wrote about Randy Pausch, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon University, who was dying of pancreatic cancel. Dr. Pausch died today, but his "Last Lecture" lives on with inspiration for us all. Among many wisdom's that he passes along in the lecture is my favorite:
It is not about achieving your dreams but living your life. If you lead your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself. The dreams will come to you.
Reprinted below is my original blog on my thoughts on seeing Randy's last lecture.

About the Author
Warren Savage, President and CEO of IPextreme, is a well-known and published authority in the field of semiconductor intellectual property.
He has a long history of pushing the envelope of design methodology from his work in fault tolerant computing at Tandem Computers in the 1980's and driving reliable design metholologies into commercial practice at Synopsys for its DesignWare IP product in the 1990s.
Much of his thinking became embodied in the seminal book on IP reuse, the Reuse Methodology Manual. Warren is taking his vision to the next level with his latest company, IPextreme, which is focused on enabling broad commercialization of IP captive in large semiconductor companies.
