Mentor to roll out DCL kit for new intel chipset: Grantsdale chip due later this year.WILSONVILLE, OR -- Mentor Graphics Mentor Graphics, Inc (NASDAQ: MENT) is a US-based multinational corporation dealing in electronic design automation (EDA) for electrical engineering and electronics, as of 2004, ranked third in the EDA industry it helped create. has developed a drop-in core layout kit, linking its Graphics Expedition PCB PCB: see polychlorinated biphenyl. PCB in full polychlorinated biphenyl Any of a class of highly stable organic compounds prepared by the reaction of chlorine with biphenyl, a two-ring compound. design flow with Inters next-generation chipset A group of chips designed to work as a unit to perform a function. For example, a modem chipset contains all the primary circuits for transmitting and receiving. A PC chipset provides the electronic interfaces between all subsystems (see PC chipset for illustration). . The DCL (1) (Digital Command Language) Digital's standard command language for the VMS operating system on its VAX series. (2) (Data Compression L kit, available through Intel, will provide an Intel reference motherboard design, integrating the CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. , chipset and other motherboard components with Expedition. Doing so will shorten design times, Mentor (mentor.com) said in a press statement. Availability will begin this year following Intel's (intel.com) rollout of the chipset, codenamed Grantsdale. Henry Potts, Mentor vice president and general manager, systems design division, said, the DCL kit "will greatly help our customers to efficiently integrate component technology from Intel while also taking advantage of the productivity and performance gains enabled by Expedition." The Grantsdale i875P chipset was announced by Intel in April 2003 and is designed for desktop systems. It could be launched as soon as next month. Edited by Mike Buetow |
