Si2 open modeling coalition receives Statistical Library
This technology is based on current source models. In July 2006 Cadence Design Systems, Magma Design Automation Inc. and Extreme DA, with support from ARM, Virage Logic Corporation, and Altos Design Automation, had announced their intention to work together under the OMC to accelerate the creation of a standard statistical analysis library format under the OMC to support next-generation, variation-aware integrated circuit (IC) analysis tools.
"Si2 applauds the collaboration of these industry leaders to develop an open, industry-managed format for the statistical analysis of IC design variability," said Steve Schulz, president and CEO of Si2. "This contribution enables the OMC to build on the Effective Current Source Model (ECSM) library format standard it has developed to support timing, power, and other advanced statistical analyses."
