July 20, 2009: Nangate Releases a New Version of the 45nm Open Cell Library
Si2 members and Nangate registered users benefits from a new version
of the successful 45nm Open Cell library. The library has become a
standard for university research programs and organizations, with more
than 1,300 downloads in 18 months.
SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- Nangate, the leading provider of tools and IP for design-specific
digital cell library development, has just released the fourth version
of its open source 45nm standard-cell library. The new release of the
library has been updated following feedback from its more than 1,300 users
worldwide. Along with the library, Nangate releases a freely distributed
tool for creating HTML databooks from Liberty files, the Nangate Liberty
Viewer™.
"The 45nm Nangate Open Cell Library has been a great success. This
release accomplishes enhancement requests for the library to be used in
a wider range of design flows," said Jens Michelsen, Vice President of
Professional Services at Nangate. "Our main business is the concurrent
optimization of design and cell libraries. The non-manufacturing 45nm
Open Cell library donation to Si2 allows its members and the entire
community to experiment with flow development, circuit design and new
algorithms using a Nangate library with all required views. And the
Liberty Viewer should help these groups with the demanding task of
analyzing long and dense Liberty files."
"The Nangate OpenCell libraries are being run in the EinsTimer™ timing
tool as part of our activities with Si2, and we have experienced no
technical problems to date," says Leon Stok, director of EDA at IBM.
"These libraries provide a powerful basis for investigating timing
techniques as part of our ongoing standards development activities."
“Si2 is delighted to be working with Nangate on the continued evolution
of the Open45nm Nangate library. Through the leadership and library
contributions by Nangate and excellent cooperation from North Carolina
State University, this donation has filled the need for an advanced
library to support research and evaluation of concepts and ideas in EDA,
as proven by download statistics we have monitored at Si2 and the
interest expressed by members of the EDA community,” said Dr. Sumit
DasGupta, Senior Vice President, Engineering at Si2.
The Open Modeling Coalition (OMC) under Si2 already uses the Nangate
library as an integral part of the reference flow for the DFM,
Statistical and Characterization & Validation working groups.
Nangate will be showing the 45nm Open Cell library at DAC
in San Francisco.
