Apache Packs a Powerful Presence at the Design Automation Conference; Conference to Highlight Power Issues Facing Designers of Next-Generation Nanometer Chips.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers Design Automation Conference 2003 Booth #1005 MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 13, 2003 Apache Design Solutions, the recognized technology leader in physical design integrity solutions for system-on-chip (SoC) designs, will demonstrate its flagship RedHawk-SDL Vectorless Dynamic(TM) power solution for the first time at this year's Design Automation Conference (DAC See D/A converter and discretionary access control. DAC - Digital to Analog Converter ), June 2-6, 2003 in Anaheim, California “Anaheim” redirects here. For Annaheim, see Annaheim, Saskatchewan. Anaheim is a city in Orange County, California, located 28 miles southeast of Los Angeles. . Apache's new physical power flow, which is already embraced by customers on 90nm and 130nm production projects, will be shown in the Apache booth #1005 and customer suite #652. Dynamic power issues are a growing cause of re-spins in 130nm designs, and the problems increase with the move to 90nm and 65nm processes due to dynamic IR-drop impact of simultaneous switching (core, memory, I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output ), on-chip inductive noise, package parasitics, and decoupling Decoupling The occurrence of returns on asset classes diverging from their normal pattern of correlation. Notes: Take for example stock and corporate bond returns, which normally rise and fall together. capacitance. Through customer success stories, Apache will demonstrate how its products address these issues and fill the missing gap in today's sign-off flow for high-performance designs. Apache will also showcase the adoption of NSPICE in the multi-port, multi-gigabit high performance simulation market. NSPICE is the next generation high-capacity SPICE simulator for I/O simultaneous switching output (SSO See single sign-on and CSO. SSO - single sign-on ) noise with direct S-parameter capability for large, port-dominated networks in ultra-broadband systems. Heavy traffic is expected at the show on both the exhibit floor and in the demo suites. To set up a demo appointment at the show to learn first hand about Apache's customer-proven RedHawk and NSPICE products, visit www.apache-da.com On Tuesday, June 3, Apache will participate in a panel entitled "Reshaping EDA (1) (Electronic Design Automation) Using the computer to design, lay out, verify and simulate the performance of electronic circuits on a chip or printed circuit board. for Power" (http://www.apache-da.com/DAC/2003panel.html). This panel of power experts including Dr. Mark Horowitz, Stanford University; Dr. Takayasu Sakurai, University of Tokyo “Todai” redirects here. For the restaurant called Todai, see Todai (restaurant). The University of Tokyo (東京大学 ; and Dr. Andrew T. Yang, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. and co-founder of Apache Design Solutions, will address the looming power crisis in CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) Pronounced "c-moss." The most widely used integrated circuit design. It is found in almost every electronic product from handheld devices to mainframes. technology, look at ways to avoid this crisis, and examine the role of EDA tools in providing solutions. Finally, Apache will also present a three-hour "hands-on" tutorial on Thursday, June 5, detailing RedHawk's full-chip dynamic power-grid methodology from planning to verification.
