    Project Background 

    cdsp4 development began in 1998 at Silicon Graphics when we needed a high performance, scalable system for the MIPS processors and Advanced Graphics chips being developed internally. Unable to find an off the shelf solution that met our needs (and we tried them all), we rolled our own.

    I hope you enjoy leveraging the power of Perforce to manage your Cadence databases for zero additional capital cost once you have your Perforce licenses.

    cdsp4 has the richest feature set and best performance of any known Cadence integration for interactive use, including the ones you pay a LOT of money for. Write to me at shiv at sikand.org if you think some other integration can do something better or faster than cdsp4 and I'd be glad to take up the challenge.

    The core trigger code was written by Shiv Sikand and Dan Freitas wrote the ListBoxBrowser interface.

    Thanks go to Rick Bahr, Kurt Akeley, and Simon Burke at SGI, Joe Sangari, Steve Lum, and Derrick Carson at Cadence Design Systems and of course Christopher Seiwald and Nigel Chanter at Perforce.

    Mike Klein has written the cdsp4 Guide. Thanks Mike, this is a major milestone for cdsp4.
