Cadence vows to bridge design database divide

摘要

Santa Clara, Calif. ― In a step forward for EDA tool interoperability, Cadence Design Systems Inc. is building a "bridge" between Synopsys Inc.'s widely used Milkyway database and the fledgling industry-standard OpenAccess database, EE Times has learned. The one-way bridge will let Synopsys tools send binary data to tools from other vendors that use OpenAccess. Cadence aims to have a beta version of the bridge ready for OpenAccess Coalition members in June. A general release will follow.
