Fujitsu Ties Global Partnership with Cadence to Create Advanced SoC Design Environments
August 5, 2004 |Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Tokyo — Fujitsu Ltd. and Cadence Design Systems, Japan have announced a global partnership agreement under which they will create advanced system-on-chip (SoC) design environments.
The design environments resulting from this agreement reportedly will address the current demand for new design methodologies for the development of advanced SoCs.
The semiconductor industry's rapid product cycles are driven by constant technological advances and are subject to volatile market fluctuations. This makes it increasingly difficult to keep pace with the latest design environment requirements and quickly deploy new design methodologies to worldwide design facilities.
The Premier Design Partner agreement that Fujitsu and Cadence have entered into is anticipated to strengthen Fujitsu's design approach with shorter design lead times and improved design quality. This electronic design automation- (EDA) related agreement provides design solutions that go beyond a simple sales agreement for EDA tools.
The agreement encompasses tens of thousands of Cadence licenses, including numerous SoC Encounter ones. The worldwide Fujitsu Group and all of its design centers will have access to licenses covered by this agreement.
In addition to its standard support, Cadence will provide personnel support organizationally to the worldwide Fujitsu Group and its design centers in order to fully leverage this agreement. As strategic business partners, Fujitsu and Cadence will jointly develop methodologies that merge design and process technologies, and plan to expand their global business collaboration to markets such as in the U.S. and China.
Cadence Design Systems (Japan) B.V. is a subsidiary of Cadence Design Systems Inc., which with approximately 4,800 employees and 2003 revenues of approximately $1.1 billion is the largest supplier of electronic design technologies and engineering services.
