i have to start Cadence Virtuoso, how to proceed for it,
what steps to follow.

This is a general question; so here's a general answer.

Google within comp.cad.cadence for "Cadence Tutorial" & you'll find a
list of available tutorials I posted a few years ago when I was
developing custom ic, rf, digital, analog, and mixed-signal designs,
design kits, and documented flows:
- http://tinyurl.com/nylbq
- http://tinyurl.com/pfe7l
- http://www.engr.sjsu.edu/dparent/ICGroup/resources.html

URLs have almost certainly changed since that post in 2002 ... so ...
you also might want to google both the USENET and the Internet for
"Cadence tutorial."

For example, hastily pasted into this post in no particular order are
the first couple of pages from my googling just now for "Cadence
tutorial" ...

Google within comp.cad.cadence for "Cadence Tutorial" & you'll find a
list of available tutorials I posted a few years ago when I was
developing custom ic, rf, digital, analog, and mixed-signal designs,
design kits, and documented flows ...

While I was developing designs, complete analog & digital design kits,
and documented analog/mixed-signal/rf/digital flows, we always
leveraged the results to everyone (including the universities) so that
each person was made more efficient by everyone else's expertise.

With that thought in mind, I'd suggest that it would be nice if folks
who do take the time and effort to try out these tutorials previously
posted, then post their experiences to this group.

That way, everyone, as a whole, benefits from each action of a
multitude of individuals.

Pitching in to help the whole,

We need a wiki!!!!! Cadence please provide space on a server to install
something like wikipedia (or whatever wiki you find appropriate to support
showing lisp code, maybe one with a cvs backend so that the scripts shown
are alway the latest ones). You would then become the EDA world leading
user support team which supports the U2U (user-to-user (TM)) support
concept. Its searchable, extendable, whateverable.

I would recomend other cadence users receiving the online support surveys to
add a comment in the "What can we do to become better" box that "We need a
wiki" in one form or another.

Kind regards,

Hi Svenn,

I forwarded your excellent request to the owners of the CDNusers.org
forums.
