Key developments for MAGMA DESIGN AUTOMATION INC (LAVA)
Magma Design Automation Inc. announced the availability of FineSim(TM) Fast Monte Carlo, a revolutionary new alternative to traditional Monte Carlo analysis. FineSim Fast Monte Carlo makes it possible to achieve much more accurate statistical analysis as much as 100 times faster than traditional Monte Carlo methods. Most engineers rely heavily on statistical methods such as traditional Monte Carlo analysis for design reliability, an approach that has limitations making accurate analysis almost impossible. FineSim Fast Monte Carlo uses proprietary dynamic error-controlled algorithms along with sophisticated statistical techniques to provide dramatic improvement in speed and accuracy compared to traditional Monte Carlo statistical analysis. It has shown as much as 100 times better runtime when compared to other commercial methods, with superior accuracy. Designers can use FineSim Fast Monte Carlo to dramatically improve the speed of statistical analysis, enabling statistical analysis on designs that would previously have been infeasible. Fast Monte Carlo can also improve the accuracy of statistical analysis on a given number of statistical samples, providing users improved overall confidence in the analysis.
Magma Design Automation Inc. unveiled Tekton(TM), a new timing analysis platform that offers significantly higher capacity and dramatically faster runtimes than traditional tools, without sacrificing accuracy. Unlike other solutions, Tekton runs multi-scenario analysis efficiently on low-cost hardware without requiring a large number of expensive servers and software licenses. Leveraging breakthrough technology, this revolutionary new platform addresses complex sign-off challenges and is uniquely suited for today's most challenging designs. Designed to more efficiently handle on-chip-variation (OCV), composite current source (CCS) models and crosstalk analysis, Tekton overcomes the speed, capacity and accuracy limitations of traditional static timing analysis (STA) tools. It brings a new level of performance to static timing analysis and extraction while maintaining complete flow compatibility with existing STA tools. Tekton meets the runtime, capacity and accuracy requirements for sign-off through an architecture designed to accommodate more than 100 million instances and greater than 15 PVT corners. Traditional STA solutions often take hours or days and numerous machines to deliver results on complicated designs that have many analysis scenarios. Tekton's multi-threaded architecture provides near-linear scaling on up to 24 CPUs. For a single timing scenario, with OCV and crosstalk enabled, Tekton performs timing analysis on designs greater than 10 million cells in minutes. QCP: New Full-Chip Extractor: The Tekton platform includes QCP(TM), a fast, high-capacity, full-chip extractor that delivers results with the accuracy of the industry standard, QuickCap(R). QCP's architecture enables efficient multi-corner extraction with minimal increases in runtime as additional process, voltage and temperature (PVT) corners are added for each process node migration. Built on a similar architecture to Tekton, QCP is fully multi-threaded for near linear performance on up to 32 CPUs. Tekton and QCP can be used together in a single STA timing session for very fast and accurate "what-if" analysis for engineering change orders (ECOs).
Magma Design Automation Inc. and Chengdu ICC announced the opening of a joint IC design lab. Established in the National IC Design Chengdu Industrial Base. The lab will provide local designers with access to Magma's advanced analog and digital IC design software and comprehensive training programs. The joint lab will help IC design companies develop technical expertise, shorten the design cycle, accelerate the time to market for their products, and improve their ability to meet the demands of the international semiconductor market. Magma will offer technical training on its Talus(R) and FineSim(TM) software to IC design companies in the National IC Design Chengdu Industrial Base. Talus, an integrated IC implementation platform, is used by many of the world's top chip companies to develop complex chips in 45/40-nm process technology. FineSim, a complete simulation platform, is the industry's first circuit simulator to truly support multi-CPU simulation, providing three to four times faster simulation than traditional simulators while maintaining accuracy.
