Giga Scale IC's ChipEstimate.com Site Achieves Record Attention from Electronic Design Community
Hundreds Sign Up In 1st Week for Free Design Planning and Chip Estimation Tool
CUPERTINO, Calif., February 16, 2005 Giga Scale Integration Corporation (Giga Scale IC™) announced today that over 600 electronic designers have registered at ChipEstimate.com to download a free copy of InCyte(TM), a chip estimation tool which helps control the cost of ICs early in the design cycle. The site was launched one week ago on February 7.
Company president Adam Traidman remarked, "We've quadrupled our quarterly goals in less than one week after our launch. The response has been overwhelming, and underscores the market demand for chip estimation and architectural analysis software."
InCyte allows users to estimate IC cost, yield, die size, power and leakage to within five to ten percent accuracy of final silicon, as well as to make architectural and economic comparisons and tradeoffs across various technology nodes, process variants and intellectual property (IP) options. InCyte comes bundled with an extensive IP database populated by Giga Scale IC's IP partners. The tool is effective at reducing total IC cost and minimizing the duration of the design cycle.
InCyte Availability, Options
A free, time-unlimited version of InCyte is available for download now at www.ChipEstimate.com. Upgrades from the free version to a subscription version provide access to IP vendor and foundry specific technology data, as well as additional features that include 45nm and 65nm chip estimations and downstream implementation tool interfaces. These options are described and are available now at www.ChipEstimate.com and begin at $1,500 per month. Upgrade subscriptions providing access to additional IP vendor and foundry data are available at the ChipEstimate.com website. Visitors simply register, download a free copy and can begin estimating their designs immediately. With the free version of InCyte, designers no longer need to depend upon cumbersome spreadsheet calculators which are rapidly becoming unmanageable with the ever changing complexity in manufacturing and IP options.
