IC Manage IP Central Selected as Top 5 pick by Designer Community in Annual Design Automation Conference Report by DeepChip

LOS GATOS, Calif., Oct. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- IC Manage, Inc., a leader in global design management and IP reuse, today announced that its IP Central was selected by conference attendees as a top 5 pick in the DeepChip Design Automation Conference (DAC) Report, where each year, hundreds of users review the products exhibited at the EDA industry's premier conference.

Design and verification teams can maximize their IP Reuse with IP Central by rapidly publishing and integrating IP into their existing design flows and tracing bug dependencies.

One user stated, "We've been trying to create a methodology for IP reuse for about 5 years. To do this, we have been stitching together separate revision control and bug/issue tracking systems with our internally developed database for tracking usage plus maintaining attributes of our IP blocks. ...IP Central covers the IP reuse we wanted in a single platform."

DeepChip.com is an online forum where semiconductor chip designers contribute data-intensive papers and articles of first-hand evaluations and production benchmarks of commercial EDA tools. The DeepChip DAC report is an annual survey that started in the 1990's.

"It came as no surprise to me that IP Central made the DAC Top 5 'hot' tools with chip designers," said John Cooley, DeepChip's moderator.  "There is a high demand for something that can take 100's or 1000's of internally developed IP and make them reusable across your company.  It's a real headache that IP Central is curing."
