MAGMA DEBUTS TALUS 1.1 FOR ENHANCED DESIGNER PRODUCTIVIY.

Article Excerpt
Magma(r) Design Automation Inc. (Nasdaq:LAVA), San Jose, Calif., a provider of chip design software, has released Talus(r) 1.1, a new RTL-to-GDSII chip implementation system that delivers the fastest timing closure on the largest and most complex semiconductor designs. Talus 1.1 utilizes the new Talus(r) COre(tm) technology, which leverages Magma's unified data model to perform timing optimization concurrently during routing, thus providing faster overall design closure with better performance and predictability. This greatly enhances designers' ability to achieve optimal results across a wide variety of designs -- while minimizing the need for user intervention. Unlike existing routing systems that perform optimization sequentially before and after place and route, and which focus only on layout-oriented routing factors such as design for manufacturability (DFM) or design rule checking (DRC), Talus focuses concurrently on timing and layout-driven metrics during routing.

In addition to its ability to provide the fastest turnaround on...
