The new Talus Vortex has improved algorithms, which run efficiently on multi-CPU machines. The new Talus Vortex has been production proven on over 100 designs, including dozens at 45 nm or smaller.
The January 2009 release includes the advanced features required for new design, like full-flow multi-mode/multi-corner optimization and the low-power clock-tree synthesis.
For our customers’ toughest designs, Talus Vortex continues to set the standard for the best quality of results and provides unmatched productivity, stated Kevin Moynihan, general manager of Magma’s Design Implementation Business Unit. The January 2009 release increases Talus Vortex’s effectiveness and offers significant performance improvement over the 2008 versions.
The new Talus Vortex’s multi-mode and multi-corner analysis capabilities have been improved for better memory and the runtime efficiency and are performed earlier in the flow. This release delivers timing, power and area results that are up to 20% better compared to 2008 versions and turnaround time is cut nearly in half. The new Talus Vortex has improved automation for better usability and provides the best full-flow multithreading speedup.
Talus Vortex: Best Design Flow for Advanced Chips:
The new Talus Vortex significantly enhances the productivity of physical designers by providing complete design closure. This integrated implementation and sign-off system delivers enhanced timing and signal integrity, smaller area, lower power, better manufacturability, faster turnaround time and higher capacity than conventional point-tool flows. These capabilities, integrated with optional automated distributed processing on multiple computers, allow Talus Vortex to implement any size design from RTL to GDSII in a predictable fashion.
