Carnegie Mellon University Continues to Rely on Monterey for Affordable and Reliable IC Design and Manufacturing Research.MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- Monterey Design Systems today announced the continuation of its academic program with Carnegie Mellon University Carnegie Mellon University, at Pittsburgh, Pa.; est. 1967 through the merger of the Carnegie Institute of Technology (founded 1900, opened 1905) and the Mellon Institute of Industrial Research (founded 1913). (CMU), which has used Monterey's Dolphin Physical Implementation System for the past several years in a research program to optimize the performance vs. cost of trade-off in the development of Via Patterned Gate Array (VPGA VPGA Via Patterned Gate Array ) chips and discover more affordable and reliable design structures in IC design and manufacturing. According to Dr. Lawrence Pileggi, professor of electrical and computer engineering and director of the Center of Silicon System Implementation (CSSI CSSI Critical Skills Shortage Initiative CSSI California Strategic Sourcing Initiative CSSI Computer Support Services, Inc. (Irving, TX, USA) CSSI Computer Security Subsystem Interpretation CSSI Computer Software & Services Industry ) at CMU, Monterey's Dolphin product has provided all the capabilities of an advanced physical synthesis and place & route tool while also giving CMU the flexibility to control specific design parameters in their VPGA development. "We are pleased that a prestigious research institution has relied on our software for leading edge research and will continue to rely on our software for advanced research," stated Dr. Jacques Benkoski, president and 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. at Monterey. "Our continued partnership demonstrates Dolphin's capabilities in supporting both existing and new design technologies, and will allow us to further develop our products to meet the design challenges of future."
