Voting Opens in SpringSoft Superhero Story Contest
SAN JOSE, Calif. - SpringSoft, Inc., a global supplier of specialized IC design software, has chosen five finalists and has opened online voting to the EDA community to decide a winner in its superhero story contest. The contest highlights extraordinary engineering efforts that made a difference either in an engineer's personal life or at work. The winning story will be featured in a new version of the SpringSoft anime comic strip featured on the SpringSoft website.
Voting is open until November 13 at http://www.springsoft.com/superhero_comics/superhero-story-vote
The five finalists were chosen from more than two dozen entrants who detailed a unique or extraordinary challenge they faced in the design or implementation of a complex IC. The entries ranged from descriptions of a difficult debug or verification issue, to a challenge arising from a large, complex design, to a layout or implementation issue. In each case, engineers detailed how they overcame their challenges and how doing so has benefited their lives.
The winning entry will have a custom designed comic strip created that describes their challenge and solution in the creative format SpringSoft first debuted at the 2009 Design Automation Conference. The winner will receive the original framed hand drawn artwork.
All contest entrants received a 2GB USB flash drive, and SpringSoft made a donation on behalf of each entrant to UNICEF. One lucky entrant will win a Samsung Netbook NC-10 in a random draw.
