| How Is Your IC Design Flow Glued Together? |
Most IC designers I talk to really enjoy the creative process of developing a new SoC design, debugging it, then watching it go into production...Fortunately for Synopsys tool users there is now a short-cut offered in the form of the Lynx Design System, which has already captured the digital design flow so you can focus on design instead of CAD integration.

| As design goes global, tools get more critical |
Disaggregation of the IC and system design chain toward a specialty model has included a growing reliance on outsourcing. That has created an opportunity for developers of advanced tool suites to field design environments in which the "best of the best"--from anywhere around the globe--can be assembled for round-the-clock development of fully optimized designs

| Chip Design: Going Graphical to Better Manage Design Schedules |
In the course of the design and analysis of a typical 65 nanometer (nm) systems-on-chip (SoC) project, it’s not uncommon to generate more than two to three terabytes of data for even moderately-sized designs.

| Electronic Design: IC development platform integrates proven tools, best practices |
The economy has put IC design houses in a severe bind. Even as getting new products to market on time becomes more critical than ever, most design projects run late. This owes largely to the fact that system-on-a-chip (SoC) design complexity, in gate-count terms, grows at a rate of 20% or more per year. Further impacting the design complexity growth is the need to incorporate a growing roster of power-management circuitry.

| EDN: Synopsys Lynx updates Pilot approach to managing an IC design flow |
Synopsys today unveiled Lynx, a package of software intended to help automate the execution, oversight, and management of chip design flows. Like its predecessor Pilot, Lynx is not a design tool or a flow, but a package of recommended flow, database, supervisory tools and services intended to improve productivity—and by the way, make it easy to decide on a turnkey all-Synopsys tool set.
