Virtual Prototypes Form ESL Bridge
Electronic-system-level (ESL) development suffers the same semantic burden of any technical phrase containing the word "system." While everyone uses the word freely, each person has a slightly different idea of what it means. Still, there has been a convergence on the general meaning of the process that's most frequently related to ESL development (i.e., "virtual prototyping"). In an effort to better understand the ESL process, I asked a broad range of professionals in the EDA and semiconductor community to share their insights as to the meaning of virtual prototypes. Here are their unvarnished and only slightly edited responses listed in the order in which they were received: "In the ESL Landscape 2006, we [Gartner-Dataquest] will have three virtual-prototyping categories: 1) Silicon Virtual Prototype and Software Virtual Prototype - the new HOT area, all at the Architectural Level, and 2) Architects Workbench at the Behavioral Level." --Gary Smith, Chief Analyst at Gartner Dataquest (www.gartner.com) "The most common definition of "virtual prototypes" is a complete, bit-accurate model of a board or SoC that is sufficient for software developers to use as a target.

DirecTV still covets DISH
DirecTV is still interested in buying smaller rival EchoStar but doubts U.S. regulators would allow such a deal. The two companies tried to merge in 2002, but the deal collapsed under opposition from the Federal Communications Commission, which believed it would be anti-competitive.Mike Palkovic, chief financial officer of DirecTV, said a merger would be "desirable but not feasible" as the market environment had not changed.
"We'd be nuts not to look at it," Palkovic told Reuters. "But the regulatory issues haven't gone away." According to Leitchman Research Group, DirecTV has 55 per cent of the satellite TV market, or 15.1 million subscribers, and EchoStar Communications Corp. has 45 percent, or 11.9 million subscribers.
DirecTV said in February it was in talks with EchoStar to create a wireless high-speed network, which would put them in a stronger position to compete against cable operators and telephone companies that sell Internet, video and phone services.
