Altair Signs Agreement to Acquire Metrics Design Automation Inc. Expands Footprint in EDA Industry
2024年7月1日 - 8:01PM
Altair (Nasdaq: ALTR), a global leader in computational
intelligence, announced it has entered into a definitive agreement
to acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of Metrics Design
Automation Inc. (Metrics), a Canadian company with a game changing
simulation as a service (SaaS) business model for semiconductor
electronic functional simulation and design verification. Closing
of the transaction is subject to customary conditions.
The Metrics digital simulator, DSim, when combined with Altair’s
Silicon Debug Tools, will deliver a world-class, advanced
simulation environment with superior simulation and debug
capabilities in the EDA and semiconductor space. The cloud-based
business model has the potential to transform the semiconductor
space by making high caliber EDA design tools much more affordable
and accessible for companies looking to aggressively scale out
simulations to accelerate design cycles.
Today, integrated circuit (IC) design verification has high
licensing costs and may require hundreds and sometimes thousands of
seats to run a single chip simulation. Additionally, these tools
run on desktop machines and are not typically cloud-native or
cloud-enabled. The Altair and Metrics solution delivers the
flexibility to run as a desktop app, on your own servers, or in the
cloud and can run very large regressions with the customer paying
only for what they use. It supports System Verilog and VHDL RTL for
digital circuits targeting application specific integrated circuits
(ASICs) and field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). Because of
this, simulations can be run concurrently and at scale, removing
massive amounts of time and costs from the traditional design
cycle.
“By combining our best-in-class software with Metrics’
cloud-based simulation as a service, we are excited to bring this
groundbreaking technology to our EDA and semiconductor customers,”
said James R. Scapa, founder and chief executive officer, Altair.
“Altair is unique in our ability to merge simulation with
industry-leading workload and workflow optimization technology,
serving as a true partner for companies embracing innovative tools
and resource delivery models in this highly specialized and
high-stakes industry. Customers now have a choice in design
verification.”
DSim will be available through Altair One, Altair’s cloud
innovation gateway, where it will also be available for desktop
download. Whether in the cloud, on your own servers, or on the
desktop, DSim is fully featured and optimized for speed, capacity
and accuracy, providing semiconductor, automotive, aerospace and
defense customers with Altair’s leading digital simulation,
visualization, and circuit debug technology, so they can quickly
track down design problems and move the most complex devices into
production earlier and with a higher degree of confidence.
“We are proud to be first-to-market with our game-changing
design verification product and business model for the
semiconductor industry,” said Joe Costello, executive chairman,
Metrics. “Joining Altair will allow us to grow and provide an
alternative option – whether on desktop, on your own servers, or in
the cloud – to engineers looking for a flexible, modern, accurate,
and fast design verification solution that is truly scalable.”
Metrics is led by Joe Costello, who is considered one of the
founders of the modern EDA industry when he became President of
Cadence Design Systems and drove annual revenues to over $1B—the
first EDA company to achieve that milestone. In 2004, he was
awarded the Phil Kaufman Award by the Electronic System Design
Alliance in recognition of his business contributions that helped
grow the EDA industry.
