I managed to catch up with Aart in December 2023, just before the handover, for his final on-camera interview as CEO. In this interview, we cover the industry highlights over the years – the growth of chips and EDA, the cycle of performance and efficiency, the systemic complexity of 2D and 3D chip design, the role of machine learning, and finally the handover to the new CEO.
