Design Environment Accelerates Delivery of Data Flow Processor IP
Cadence Design Systems has announced that NSITEXE deployed the Cadence digital design full flow to accelerate the delivery of its high-efficiency, high-quality data flow processor (DFP) IP for automotive and industrial applications. Using the integrated Cadence digital full flow, starting with the Genus Synthesis Solution, NSITEXE successfully reduced turnaround time by 75% while also improving power by 8.5%, performance by 35% and reducing area by 3.5% when compared with its previous competitive solution.
The Cadence flow deployed at NSITEXE included the Genus Synthesis Solution, Joules RTL Power Solution, Conformal Equivalence Checker, Modus DFT Software Solution and Innovus Implementation System. The tightly integrated flow provided NSITEXE with a common Cadence database and user interface (UI), eliminating the need for data transfer between tools and communication exchanges between multiple engineers.
