Silicon Valley Research Joins the EDA Integration Alliance Partners Program
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 18, 2001--Silicon Valley
Research, Inc. (``SVR'' or the ``Company'') (OTCBB:SVRI), a leading
provider of affordable Auto Place and Route (``APR'') products,
announced today that it has joined the EDA Integration Alliance
Partners Program (``EDA IAP'').
The EDA IAP is a collaboration of integration consultants, EDA
software vendors, commercial foundries, IP and design service
providers, and engineering computing hardware providers who have
joined forces to provide services to the semiconductor design and
manufacturing community. The EDA IAP was developed by SiliconMap to
aid customers with multi-vendor tool flows and provide customers with
qualified tactical and strategic flow consultation services.
``As a result of working with the EDA IAP, we have greatly expanded
the number of tools and flows that SVR tools can fit into,'' said SVR's
President and CEO, James Benouis. ``The EDA IAP has set the standard
for the future of EDA partner programs.''
As members of the EDA IAP, SVR will have its products directed
into the IP migration and Macro level creation marketplace as a
supplement to the full chip APR flows provided by existing EDA IAP
members. SiliconMap is developing interoperability solutions and data
standards for SVR's tools for use with other EDA IAP members and also
other e*ECAD members. SiliconMap has created a number of custom block
creation flows for the mixed signal and memory marketplaces that can
benefit from the flexibility, stability and speed of SVR tools running
on the Design Cockpit Platform (DCP). DCP is an extensible,
expressive, and efficient approach to encapsulating and conrolling
third-party EDA tools. For more information on DCP, please visit
http://dcp.svri.com/.
``We are very excited about the addition of SVR to the EDA IAP
program. The SVR tool set provides a greatly needed supplement to the
current single vendor SOC flows. Today, IP block creation and
migration needs to be created and updated with a much shorter
schedule, and the SVR tools allow for the time and cost effective
transfer of this activity into the Design and CAD arenas, instead of
the traditional layout arena,'' said SiliconMap's President, Pallab
Chatterjee.
The standard support model from the EDA industry is focused on
supporting only the setup and operation of the products from the
vendor that sold that product. However, the majority of customer
issues are related to the data interface and flow interoperability
issues between point tools from typically competing suppliers. The EDA
IAP promotes tool and data interoperability standards and provides
customers with integration consulting that has access to vendor
research and development staffing so tool performance optimized
solutions can be achieved.
