Open-Silicon Introduces IC-Catalyst - an Integrated Platform for Chip Design and Manufacturing
Sunnyvale, Calif. — August 8, 2005 — Open-Silicon, Inc., a fabless ASIC company that provides a predictable, reliable and cost-effective alternative to traditional chip design and supply-chain models, is introducing IC-Catalyst, a proprietary fully integrated software system that enables the Company to manage all aspects of a chip-design flow and manufacturing supply chain. IC-Catalyst enables Open-Silicon to provide their customers with ASICs that have high predictability and reliability at a cost much lower that that achievable by a traditional ASIC vendor.
“Open-Silicon’s mission is to bring predictable, reliable and cost-effective ASICs to the industry and dramatically increase the number of ASIC designs that go to production,” said Dr. Naveed Sherwani, President and CEO of Open-Silicon. “With IC-Catalyst, we are able to exploit the commonality of mainstream ASIC designs and efficiently manage the entire design and manufacturing process. This lets us accelerate time to market for our customer’s products.”
IC-Catalyst
IC-Catalyst provides an integrated design, manufacturing, and program management infrastructure for the chip development cycle. Phase One of the tool suite focuses on design by addressing the four types of management tasks in an ASIC design implementation:
- Design Configuration Management
- Design Flow Management
- Tool and Hardware Resource Management
- Design Program Management
IC-Catalyst captures the learning from every design and propagates it to future designs, resulting in accelerated development time for follow-on chip-design projects. In addition, IC-Catalyst manages machine and tool-license resources, enabling the Design Center Unit to maximize the usage of available hardware and software resources
