MatrixOne Releases Synchronicity Developer Suite V4.1, Increases Productivity and Reduces Cost of Developing Semiconductors.WESTFORD, Mass. -- First New Product Release Since Acquisition of Synchronicity synchronicity (singˈ·kr by MatrixOne Delivers Enhanced Design Collaboration and Management Capabilities to Semiconductor Industry 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 : MONE), 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 its Synchronicity(R) Developer Suite(TM) V4.1. The Synchronicity Developer Suite includes ProjectSync(R), which raises design predictability with multi-site project-based issue tracking and communications, and DesignSync(R), which makes design data available to the entire project team, no matter where they are located, in a safe, efficient, managed manner. Developer Suite V4.1 introduces a new DesignSync package, DesignSync CTS (1) (Clear To Send) The RS-232 signal sent from the receiving station to the transmitting station that indicates it is ready to accept data. Contrast with RTS. (2) (Common Type System) The data typing used in . (TM) (Custom Type System). DesignSync CTS allows customers to extend DesignSync's core 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. Data Awareness(TM) and create a plug-in to recognize and manage data from other EDA tools that are not supported out of the box. MatrixOne is the only semiconductor design data management provider that offers production-level integrations to multiple data formats from leading EDA vendors such as 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 Synopsys(R) Milkyway(TM). With the addition of DesignSync CTS, the Synchronicity Developer Suite now has the ability to interface to any EDA tool, even customer proprietary tools. Developer Suite V4.1 is the first Synchronicity-based product release since Synchronicity was acquired by MatrixOne in August of this year and demonstrates MatrixOne's dedication to extending and enhancing the Synchronicity product line. Future product releases will further extend the capabilities of the two product lines and add compelling new solutions for semiconductor design data management to the MatrixOne solutions portfolio. "Executives in semiconductor companies are being forced to radically change the way they delivery new products to the market. Today's increased competition, the need to dramatically reduce product cycle times and cost and the challenges of a global and distributed product development environment have created the need for breakthrough design, collaboration and management solutions for the semiconductor industry," said Mark F. O'Connell, President and Chief Executive Officer of MatrixOne. "The new release of MatrixOne's Synchronicity Developer Suite 4.1 brings to market the latest advances in collaborative solutions to provide semiconductor companies with the competitive advantage to achieve their time-to-market objectives and drive growth through innovation." Developer Suite V4.1 is also the only data management solution to provide self-updating data mirrors. DesignSync mirrors provide semiconductor development teams shared access to dynamically managed design data, which enables them to collaborate in real-time while saving dramatic amounts of file space and system network resources. Developer Suite V4.1 also introduces a tiered mirror structure that enables primary mirrors to populate To plug in chips or components into a printed circuit board. A fully populated board is one that contains all the devices it can hold. data to secondary mirrors. This configuration dramatically reduces network resources required to develop semiconductors in a distributed development This article has multiple issues: * It does not cite any references or sources.

This further automates and accelerates the ability to get design data to teams in locations throughout the world while further reducing the amount of network traffic. As part of the self-updating, tiered architecture, DesignSync provides a web-based single point of creation and management for the self-updating mirrors which contributes to Developer Suite's low system administration overhead. Developer Suite V4.1 also introduces revolutionary SmartVault(TM) technology, which automatically optimizes and manages data storage decisions for the engineer. By merely defining some simple thresholds, the storage format selection and conversions are automatically handled by DesignSync. This enables consistent application of data format types and policies and eliminates the need for the user to perform the data conversion. This results in major savings in storage resources and valuable developer time. In addition, Developer Suite V4.1 bundles a new version of ProjectSync, which raises design predictability with multi-site project and issue tracking and communications no matter where they are located. Included amongst numerous enhancements are the ability to view file attachments directly from the datasheet, email notifications inn HTML HTML in full HyperText Markup Language Markup language derived from SGML that is used to prepare hypertext documents. Relatively easy for nonprogrammers to master, HTML is the language used for documents on the World Wide Web. , the ability to share saved queries, and numerous other labor saving collaborative capabilities. The Developer Suite continues to be supported on all major platforms including Solaris, 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. , Windows, and RedHat Linux including Red Hat Enterprise Edition. Pricing and Availability Developer Suite V4.1 is broadly available now and is priced from $4500 per user depending on configuration.
