Static Timing Analyzer Pounds Out Streamlined 5× Performance Upgrade

Aug. 4, 2003

With runtimes improved by up to 5 and memory utilization reduced by up to 30% on large designs, the latest version of the TimeCraft static timing analyzer is intended for multimillion-gate designs. The performance gains are the result of refinements to the company's Incremental Timing Exception Reduction technologies and new techniques for timing-path tracing and management. Prices start at $20,000/year for a three-year subscription. Platforms include Solaris, HP-UX, and Linux.
