Synopsis adds crosstalk analysis to timing tool
Synopsys has extended its PrimeTime static timing analysis product to address the challenge of detecting and resolving crosstalk on SoC designs at 0.18 micron and below.
Tensilica standardises on Physical Compiler
Tensilica has standardised on Synopsys Physical Compiler and developed a high-performance reference flow around Physical Compiler for its Xtensa V processor cores.
With the move to 90nm, Silicon Optix reviewed all available solutions and selected IC Compiler for its ability to deliver the necessary performance while posing low migration risk and providing a superior roadmap for future technology innovation.
"Silicon Optix has been growing at a very rapid pace and we are actively investing in the latest design technology to continue our momentum", said Kent Goodin, Executive Vice President of Engineering and Technology at Silicon Optix.
"Over the next year, we are planning to produce many variants of our leading-edge video processors".
"We expect IC Compiler to play a key role by enabling a path to enhanced performance while improving the productivity of our designers and simultaneously minimising transition risks".
Silicon Optix was recently rated by Deloitte as one of the top 20 fastest-growing technology companies in Silicon Valley.
Silicon Optix is currently deploying IC Compiler on the next generation of their flagship video processors for high-end applications, as well as mainstream consumer applications.
Besides advanced timing and power optimisations and overall 90nm readiness, one of the key benefits for Silicon Optix is IC Compiler's very high correlation with Synopsys' PrimeTime golden sign-off solution.
In addition, IC Compiler introduces the capability to optionally bring in exact data from PrimeTime to drive final optimisations, thus speeding timing closure for complex designs.
"IC Compiler is an ideal choice for demanding applications such as video processor designs".
"The performance and productivity benefits of IC Compiler should enable Silicon Optix to deliver a variety of leading-edge products to the market faster", said Bijan Kiani, Vice President of Marketing for Synopsys' Implementation Group.
"We welcome Silicon Optix to the growing ranks of IC Compiler users and look forward to working together to enable silicon success".
