MatrixOne's Industry-Leading Semiconductor Design Management Solution Adds New Capabilities for Collaborative Design of Semiconductor Products.WESTFORD, Mass. -- MatrixOne's Synchronicity synchronicity (singˈ·kr Developer Suite V4.2 Provides Enhanced Support for System-on-Chip Development, Data-Driven Project Management, and Integrations with Leading 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. Design Tools and Open Source Platform Support MatrixOne, Inc. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on : MONEE), a leading provider of collaborative product lifecycle Product lifecycle or product life cycle is the course of a product's sales and profits over time. The five stages of each product lifecycle are product development, introduction, growth, maturity and decline. management (PLM (Product Life cycle Management) A comprehensive information system that coordinates all aspects of a product from initial concept to its eventual retirement. Sometimes called the "digital backbone" of a product, it includes the requirements phase, analysis and design ) solutions for the value chain(TM), today announced the availability of the newest version of MatrixOne's Synchronicity(R) Developer Suite(TM) solution. Developer Suite - already in use at 12 of the top 15 semiconductor companies - provides an advanced design data management environment that enables global, multi-site development that can lower cycle times, increase quality and improve a semiconductor organization's return on product development. Developer Suite Version 4.2 provides designers with improved performance and support for the industry's broadest range of EDA applications and operating platforms. It includes new versions of MatrixOne's Synchronicity DesignSync(R), MatrixOne's semiconductor design data management platform, and MatrixOne's Synchronicity ProjectSync(R), a project communication and collaboration management solution. The optional MatrixOne's Hierarchical Configuration Manager(TM) provides the industry's only true block-based data management capability enabling hierarchical system-on-chip (SoC) design and reuse. "The size and complexity of new semiconductor products--such as the chips driving the next generation of automobiles, digital music and personal communications--and the speed at which they must be developed are changing the way that designs and design collaboration are being done," said John Fleming
John Fleming was a judge in Cumberland County, Virginia and had been in the House of Burgesses for 10+ years. , senior vice president and general manager of MatrixOne's electronics business unit. "These are no longer monolithic projects. They must be divided into multiple sub-projects, each of these actually a large complex project onto itself. The new Developer Suite capabilities enable semiconductor companies to take advantage of global economies of scale and collaborative partnerships to change the way they bring these products to market, through a highly-collaborative process that involves their entire value chain located around the world." Managing Complexity in Semiconductor Design The creation of semiconductor products is an increasingly complex process, with design size growing significantly, while development cycles are continually shortening. To develop such products as rapidly as possible at the lowest cost requires tight synchronization between widely-dispersed teams spread across countries, time zones and even companies. In such a complex environment, a single miscommunication or data configuration error can cause a huge loss in time and money. Developer Suite with HCM HCM hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. lets designers define the hierarchical relationships between design components and provides a simple, powerful interface to work on the entire design hierarchy. This innovative, systems-based methodology helps minimize costly, hard-to-detect mistakes that can occur when engineers are managing each block's design data and can tremendously shorten and reduce the number of design cycles. Designers, chip architects, and project managers can ensure their actions done on a single design block are within the context of the entire design hierarchy to dramatically simplify the implementation of large SoC designs. Significant enhancements to Developer Suite Version 4.2 include the following: --Next-generation DesignSync User Interface: Version 4.2 includes a next-generation interface with new tools to access the capabilities of the HCM to create an intuitive, hierarchical file structure for very large systems on chips designs. --Broad EDA interoperability: MatrixOne is the only semiconductor design data management provider that offers production-level integrations to multiple data formats from any EDA tool--even home-grown proprietary tools. Version 4.2 now supports the latest four releases of Cadence(R) OpenAccess, Cadence CDBA CDBA California Dragon Boat Association CDBA Central Data Base Administrator CDBA Clearance Divers Breathing Apparatus (British Royal Navy) CDBA Community Development Business Association CDBA Columbia Drag Boat Association , and the latest three releases of Synopsis(R) Milkyway(TM) database. --Tighter integration to data driven enterprise project management: Version 4.2 enhances the integration to MatrixOne's Program Central(TM) application, which enables events changing in DesignSync to update a project manager's dashboard automatically. For example, by tagging a design "sim passed," the Simulation task will be automatically marked complete in their project status reporting tool, providing visibility for all project team members. --Higher-Performing DesignSync: Enhancements to tagging and introduction of additional multi-threaded processing provide greater scalability and increased performance. --Industry's broadest platform support: The Developer Suite continues to be supported on all major platforms including Solaris(TM), HP-UX HP's version of Unix that runs on its 9000 family. It is based on SVID and incorporates features from BSD Unix along with several HP innovations. (operating system) HP-UX - The version of Unix running on Hewlett-Packard workstations. (TM), Windows(R), and Red Hat(TM) Linux(TM) including Red Hat Enterprise Linux Red Hat Enterprise Linux (often abbreviated to RHEL) is a Linux distribution produced by Red Hat and targeted toward the commercial market, including mainframes. Red Hat commits to supporting each version of RHEL for 7 years after its release. (RHEL RHEL Red Hat Enterprise Linux ). Version 4.2 now includes support for Solaris 10 and leading open source platforms including RHEL 4 and SuSE(TM) 9. Pricing and Availability Developer Suite V4.2 is available now and is priced from $4500 per user depending on configuration.
