Initiative to change design and manufacture ideas
IBM and Dassault Systemes have a 'cross-industry' initiative aimed at fostering innovation and transforming the way their customers design, manufacture and deliver products to the market.
In addition, ProjectSync will be deployed as part of the collaborative tool suite that Accent is providing to its customers to enable a concurrent engineering design environment.
"Today complex SoC designs require the availability of an efficient collaborative workgroup design environment enabling concurrent engineering approaches".
"Accent design infrastructure, based upon state-of-the-art EDA tools and a grid computing server farm, is complemented by Enovia MatrixOne solutions including DesignSync, ProjectSync and HCM," said Paolo Mancini, VP and chief information officer for Accent.
"The only way to reach the productivity made necessary by today's time-to-market challenges is to reuse and exploit existing IPs and design modules using a proprietary design platform".
"In this respect IP Gear plays a fundamental role being the foundation of Accent design-for-reuse platforms".
In order to pool its SoC IP, Accent turned to Synchronicity Developer Suite to allow its project teams to safely share design data.
Now, the organisation will use Publisher Suite to build a design reuse system to be stored in a customised IP catalog.
Engineer productivity is expected to increase as they are able to easily search for, learn about, evaluate, acquire and get support on suitable existing design blocks for their projects.
"Accent, like many other leading semiconductor manufacturers, has worked successfully with Enovia MatrixOne to get more out of its existing IP assets," said Patricia Megowan, vice president, global electronics for Enovia MatrixOne.
"With a secure solution that enables new collaborative business models and design reuse, Accent is improving cycle time while reducing costs".
