Toshiba deploys Magma's Talus software
Bangalore: Magma, a provider of chip design software has announced that Toshiba, a supplier of semiconductors for consumer electronics, has deployed Magma's Talus IC implementation software for developing ICs at 90-, 65- and 40-nanometer (nm) process nodes that target multimedia, networking and printer applications. Toshiba has adopted Talus after an extensive evaluation that proved the software's ability to drastically reduce turnaround time, increase designer productivity and improve quality of results. Earlier, Toshiba had deployed Magma design implementation software in Toshiba's Apex flows in 2001, and now has finished multiple designs including 65-nm and 40-nm tapeouts using Talus through its Apex 4.0 flow. "For Toshiba and its customers, reducing turnaround time is the key," said Premal Buch, General Manager of Magma's Design Implementation Business Unit. "Talus recently allowed us to reduce turnaround time drastically and improve leakage power and area for a multi-mode SoC design with more than 10 million gates. Based on this achievement and proven track record, we are now implementing our 90-, 65- and 40-nm designs with Talus," said Takashi Yoshimori, Assistant Chief Technology Executive of SoC Design, Semiconductor Company, Toshiba.
