The Talus platform offers key capabilities that allow IDT to meet the design requirements. The integrated synthesis and the place-and-route capabilities of Talus Design and Talus Vortex offer better quality of results while increasing designer productivity. The Talus Power Pro’s seamless integration with Talus Design and Talus Vortex offers efficient handling of multiple-voltage threshold (multi-VT) libraries, significantly reducing power.
For IDT, productivity is very important. We must continuously deliver innovative technologies and at a rapid pace in order to meet the demands felt by our customers in the computing, communications and consumer markets, stated Camille Kokozaki, director of design automation services at IDT. Our objective is to provide silicon solutions that provide higher performance, lower cost and better power efficiency. The Talus platform, by providing unique integrated features that directly address our design challenges, allows us to significantly accelerate design optimization and thereby achieve our productivity goals.
Magma’s Talus IC implementation software provides advanced capabilities, unequaled integration and automation, and a proven predictable flow, stated Kevin Moynihan, general manager of Magma’s Design Implementation Business Unit. IDT’s selection of Talus for its ICs confirms Magma software’s ability to enhance designer productivity and address tough design challenges.
Talus is the platform for low-power, high-performance designs.
The company’s Talus IC implementation software offers advanced capabilities for high-speed, low-power designs within an integrated and the highly automated RTL-to-GDSII flow. The front-end product enables logic designers to synthesize, visualize, evaluate and enhance RTL code quality, design constraints, testability requirements and floorplan. Talus also combines fast, full-featured, high-capacity predictable synthesis capabilities, full and incremental static timing analysis, and power analysis. The company’s physical design solution incorporates optimization, place and route, useful skew clock generation, floorplanning, power planning, RC extraction and a single, built-in incremental timing analyzer. Based on the company’s unified data model, this platform accurately predicts final timing before detailed placement removes timing closure iterations and allows rapid design closure while taking into account nanometer effects like on-chip variation (OCV).
The company’s platform also incorporates advanced power optimization and management capabilities, and implements multiple power-saving design strategies to attain maximum power reduction. The Magma system combines low-power analysis and optimization engines throughout the whole RTL-to-GDSII flow. The system supports advanced techniques like native multi-Vt, automated multi-voltage designs, adaptive voltage scaling using concurrent multicorner optimization and multi-Vdd, and physical implementation that meets leading foundries’ nanometer dynamic and leakage power requirements.
