PITTSBURGH and SANTA CLARA, Calif., June 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- ANSYS,
Inc. (NASDAQ: ANSS), and Intel Corporation, a world leader in
computing innovation, today announced the availability of a
production-proven reference flow for power, EM and reliability
sign-off using ANSYS simulation solutions for Intel's 14nm Tri-Gate
process. This technology allows customers of Intel Custom Foundry
to design the next-generation mobile and cloud enterprise products
that deliver the highest performance while meeting stringent
product power targets.
ANSYS and Intel Custom Foundry teams developed reference flows
around ANSYS® RedHawk™ for system on chip
power and electromigration (EM) sign-off, ANSYS Totem™
for custom intellectual property power and EM integrity and ANSYS
PathFinder™ for full-chip ESD validation. This
collaboration extends the work on the Intel Custom Foundry 22nm
process design platform to the 14nm platform.
Intel's 14nm process technology is the world's most advanced
process technology and is the second generation of Tri-Gate process
technology. These Tri-Gate transistors enable chips to operate at
lower voltage with lower leakage, providing an unprecedented
combination of improved performance and energy efficiency compared
to previous state-of-the-art transistors. The capabilities give
chip designers the flexibility to choose transistors targeted for
low power or high performance, depending on the application.
Collaboration with ANSYS on the Intel Custom Foundry 14nm and 22nm
design platforms allows designers to take advantage of Intel's
process technologies.
"As designers continue to push the technology envelope, having
access to a robust and foundry-certified power EM and reliability
sign-off flow becomes critical," said Aveek
Sarkar, vice president of product engineering and support at
Apache Design, a subsidiary of ANSYS. "Our long-standing
relationship with Intel Custom Foundry has allowed us to provide
optimized tools and methodologies for customers to adopt the latest
technologies with greater confidence."
"A close collaboration between Intel Custom Foundry and ANSYS on
reliability verification reference flow for 22nm and 14nm enables
our customers to efficiently deliver more robust and reliable
designs for next-generation electronic products," said Venkat Immaneni, senior director, Foundry Design
Kit Enablement, Intel Custom Foundry. "This platform enables our
customers to use an industry-leading power, EM and reliability
sign-off solution on our design platforms."
The ANSYS portfolio of product offerings will be showcased at
the Design Automation Conference (DAC) June
2-6 in exhibit booth #1413.
