"In a relatively short amount of time, Synplicity has clearly established itself as the EDA tool vendor of choice for the three primary structured and platform ASIC suppliers", said Andy Haines, vice president of marketing, Synplicity.
"Similar to our joint development efforts with LSI Logic and NEC Electronics, in working with Fujitsu, we were able to develop a high-performance, high-capacity solution that is uniquely optimised for Fujitsu's AccelArray devices".
"We believe that our customised Amplify AccelArray Pro software will provide AccelArray customers with a highly automated and user-friendly floorplanning and physical synthesis solution that allows them to obtain high-performance designs with extremely fast design schedules".
"Fujitsu and Synplicity have worked extensively together to provide our customers a comprehensive and fully integrated structured/platform ASIC solution", said Keith Horn, Senior Vice President Sales and Marketing, Fujitsu Microelectronics America.
"The solution combines the high performance of our AccelArray architectures with highly tuned, custom physical synthesis, analysis and floorplanning from Synplicity".
"We are already seeing greatly accelerated timing closure and excellent performance results using our Synplicity one-pass hand-off flow".
"We are pleased to recommend Synplicity's Amplify AccelArray Pro to our AccelArray customers".
The Amplify AccelArray Pro software offers users a complete physical synthesis design solution for AccelArray devices.
Through its unique understanding of the AccelArray architecture, the Amplify AccelArray Pro software enables customers to maximise the performance, density and time-to-market advantages of AccelArray devices.
