SAN JOSE, Calif., March 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Cadence Design
Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS) today announced that Renesas System
Design Co., Ltd. (TSE: 6723) applied Cadence® Innovus™
Implementation System to a design in an advanced process
technology, with the aim of improving the design's performance
metrics while also reducing the turnaround time. Innovus
Implementation System also helped Renesas achieve the target
leakage power and frequency.
To achieve the power and performance gains, Renesas leveraged
the new GigaPlace solver-based placement technology, advanced
timing- and power-driven optimization, next-generation slack-driven
routing, and full-flow multi-objective technology within Innovus
Implementation System. These breakthrough placement and
optimization technologies employ a massively parallel architecture
that enabled improved turnaround time.
"Innovus Implementation System provided us with substantial
gains in quality of results and speed-up for our most challenging
design," said Tatsuji Kagatani,
department manager, Design Automation Department, Elemental
Technology Development Division 1 at Renesas System Design Co.,
Ltd. "The new tool and Cadence's dedicated support improved the
productivity of our engineers and enabled us to deliver a reliable
advanced-node design to market faster. With Innovus Implementation
System, we can optimize both PPA (power, performance, and area) and
turnaround time simultaneously."
"As a supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, Renesas is
driven to deliver complex, innovative designs to the market under
tight market deadlines," said Dr. Anirudh
Devgan, senior vice president of the Digital and Signoff
Group at Cadence. "Innovus Implementation System provided a clear
