Software upgrades electrical DFM
Blaze DFM has announced the Release 1.1 update to Blaze MO optimisation software, the company's path-breaking "electrical DFM" solution.
"With the successful launch of the company and shipment of our first products behind us, the time is right to open a facility in San Diego", remarked Jacob Jacobsson, President and CEO at Blaze.
"Much of our initial intellectual property was developed at, and licensed from, the University of California at San Diego (UCSD), and we want to continue to tap into the DFM talent pool there".
"Also, one of our largest customers, Qualcomm, is located in San Diego and as they proliferate the use of Blaze products, the support requirements justify having a local office".
"The semiconductor and EDA industries have acknowledged the importance of electrical DFM, a concept pioneered by Blaze, in addressing the ever-growing interdependencies between design and manufacturing".
"I look forward to the programmes slated for the new development centre, and to continuing to realise Blaze's technology and product vision", commented Dr Andrew B Kahng, Chairman and Chief Technologist at Blaze.
"As a startup, it was critical to ship our first products and make them successful", said Dr Moon.
"Going forward, we have the opportunity to transform our wealth of untapped intellectual property into additional high-impact, electrical DFM products".
