Si2 Open Modeling Coalition Gains Access to Statistical Library Characterization Tool from Altos Design Automation.AUSTIN, Texas -- Altos Design Automation today made available Variety(tm), the newly released statistical library characterization tool, to the Open Modeling Coalition (OMC OMC Organisation Mondiale du Commerce (French: WTO) OMC Organización Mundial del Comercio (Spanish: World Trade Organization) OMC Organização Mundial do Comércio ) of the Silicon Integration Initiative “Si2” redirects here. For other uses, see Si2 (disambiguation). Silicon Integration Initiative (Si2) is a non-profit consortium of industry-leading semiconductor, systems, EDA, and manufacturing companies, focused on improving the way integrated circuits are (Si2). OMC is creating a reference flow for library characterization, modeling, and model usage. Variety will be installed into this reference flow as the characterization subsystem A unit or device that is part of a larger system. For example, a disk subsystem is a part of a computer system. A bus is a part of the computer. A subsystem usually refers to hardware, but it may be used to describe software. for statistical characterization of library data. As part of this reference flow, Variety and Altos will help the OMC define standards for library flow interfaces for communicating statistical information between elements in the flow. Variety(tm) addresses the critical variation aware characterization and statistical signoff aspects of library IP. This next-generation characterization tool will be used in the validation of reference flows for emerging standards for library IP. Cell library format convergence and predictable data exchange have become the mandate from user companies across the semiconductor industry. "The rapid and accurate process variation aware library characterization is essential to removing a major bottleneck A lessening of throughput. It often refers to networks that are overloaded, which is caused by the inability of the hardware and transmission lines to support the traffic. It can also refer to a mismatch inside the computer where slower-speed peripheral buses and devices prevent the CPU in the adoption of statistical design," says Jim McCanny, 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. of Altos Design Automation. "The OMC, through its SSTA SSTA Saskatchewan School Trustees' Association SSTA Scottish Secondary Teachers' Association (Scotland) SSTA Sea Surface Temperature Anomaly SSTA Statistical Static Timing Analysis SSTA Security Seal Testing Authority Working Group, is working to define and deliver standards that allow emerging SSTA tools to collaborate throughout the design process. Altos will assist in the validation and refinement of OMC standards as part of the OMC reference flow." "Statistical timing is rapidly emerging as an important new methodology for leading-edge silicon design," said Steve Schulz, president and CEO of Si2. "Having the support of Altos and their characterization software as part of OMC reference flows will make possible broad adoption of statistical timing techniques through the widespread acceptance of much-needed enabling industry standards." About Si2 Si2 is an organization of industry-leading semiconductor, systems, 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. , and manufacturing companies focused on improving the way integrated circuits Integrated circuits Miniature electronic circuits produced within and upon a single semiconductor crystal, usually silicon. Integrated circuits range in complexity from simple logic circuits and amplifiers, about 1/20 in. (1. are designed and manufactured in order to speed time-to-market, reduce costs, and meet the challenges of sub-micro design. Si2 is uniquely positioned to enable collaboration through a strong implementation focus driven by its member companies. Si2 focuses on developing practical technology solutions to industry challenges. Si2 represents over 100 companies involved in all parts of the silicon supply chain throughout the world.
