Three big in EDA industry, Synopsys, Cadence and Mentor, right? Magma will be the fourth big one though it's relatively small now. -- philewar 13:31, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
After the recent post-merger slide of Synopsys from an impressive market cap of 4.6B, the players stand as follows (10/08/2004)
For comparison, some other industries
You look more yourself. Revenue/profit comparisons are even more pitiful. So the "bigs" in EDA are dwarfs in USA. Mikkalai 17:33, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)

The form of acquisition is merger. SEC fililng. June 6, 2002:
Item 5. Other Events.
On June 6, 2002, Synopsys, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Synopsys"), completed its acquisition of Avant! Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Avant!"), through the merger (the "Merger") of Avant! with and into Maple Forest Acquisition L.L.C. ("Maple Forest"), a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Synopsys, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 3, 2001, as amended, by and among Synopsys, Maple Forest and Avant! (the "Merger Agreement").
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, former Avant! stockholders have the right to receive 0.371 of a Synopsys common share for each former Avant! common share (plus cash in lieu of fractional shares). As of June 6, 2002, former Avant! stockholders have the right to receive approximately 14.5 million shares of Synopsys. In addition, holders of former Avant! stock options are collectively entitled to receive up to approximately 2.3 million additional Synopsys common shares upon the exercise of such stock options from time to time in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof.
Further information about the Merger, including the full text of the Merger Agreement, is available in Synopsys' proxy statement/prospectus dated May 2, 2002.
Synopsys stockholders approved the issuance of the Synopsys common shares in the Merger at the annual meeting of Synopsys stockholders held on June 4, 2002.
A copy of the press release announcing the completion of the Merger is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

What's the Oregon connection for this article? It's not mentioned in the text and I'd like to put it in the proper category. Katr67 21:12, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
Well, I have friends who spend more on their nails than on technology, but I digress...Yeah the proliferation of categories is troublesome, but looking at the Silicon Forest article, it appears that a related category could be heavily populated. Would such a thing be useful? I dunno. In any case, my concern is that this is in WPOR without an Oregon mention and without an Oregon cat. I see you're on top of adding the location info per the talk about that Intelitanic chip or whatever it is. These guys are in Hillsboro, correct? I can add the article to that cat.

Image:SynopsysLogo.GIF is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

In this edit, a bunch of information on companies bought by Synopsys, including ARC International, was removed.
That section was created by this edit, which moved the contents of ARC International to Synopsys and made the page a disambiguation page with an item for "Synopsys ARC, the developer of the ARC embedded processor series", pointing to that section.
There are places that refer to the section on ARC International, such as the aforementioned ARC International disambiguation page, the Synopsys ARC redirect, and ARC (processor).
Either those links should just link directly to Synopsys, without trying to point to the "ARC International" section, or that section should either be restored or put into a page of its own about ARC International/Synopsys ARC. Guy Harris ( talk) 19:23, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
From article history:
I do not see any discussion where the subpage creation was rejected. I agree that retaining acquisitions info, but splitting it into a separate subpage is a good idea:
Therefore, unless there are serious objections, I am enacting this split in a week (a reasonable waiting time for all involved editors to say a word.) Staszek Lem ( talk) 21:48, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
unencyclopedic clutter.. by deleting it- wrong idea - It is clutter that is unencyclopedic, not information. I explained why this information is important and it must be retained; even formally, these sections are targets of numerous redirects. Not to say, deleting information referenced well from independent sources is unwikipedic. Staszek Lem ( talk) 23:46, 12 September 2020 (UTC)
All I know is it bought Jez's company of former Nintendo related fame and did apparently nothing with it.- Well, this was not among strategic acquisitions and probably only yuo know about it because, as I see from your contributions you are a game buff. Therefore I have no intention to include it into the acquisitions list. Please believe in reasonable expertise and AGF of fellow wikipedians. I hear you, but you hear me too. I am not messing with Nintento in major way, so I suggest you to take it easy on electronic design automation. P.S. I have no relation to Synopsys whatsoever; I am a software eng in a small EDA company and so it happens, we in this industry surely know the major players well. It is just I have no much interest in writing about this industry: daytime work in it pisses me off enough already :-) Staszek Lem ( talk) 23:56, 12 September 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I'm requesting on behalf of the Synopsys QuantumATK team if the product QuantumATK can be added to the "Products" section of this page.
Please see https://www.synopsys.com/silicon/quantumatk.html as evidence. https://news.synopsys.com/2017-09-18-Synopsys-Strengthens-Design-Technology-Co-Optimization-Solution-with-Acquisition-of-QuantumWise

Interested in hearing feedback/thoughts on adding the following content to further build out the section on corporate partnerships:
In 2020, IBM announced a partnership between Synopsys and the IBM Research AI Hardware Center to address the challenges of developing new AI chip architectures. [1]
Intel announced an expansion of its EDA partnership with Synopsys in 2021 to utilize Synopsys’ design tools for Intel’s foundry services. [2]
Microsoft chose Synopsys in 2021 to help develop a technology solution for the secure design of microelectronics for a U.S. Department of Defense project. [3]

Slightly unfair to give the PLA stuff heavy focus, given that the source itself mentions “Autodesk, Dell, Google, Honeywell, IBM, Intel, Merrill Lynch, Microsoft, National Instruments, Rockwell Automation, Synopsys, Tektronix, and Texas Instruments” as having also partnered with PLA in the exact same way. 2601:19B:67F:4AF0:C1D4:FBB4:96D7:CF1 ( talk) 17:55, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
