Intel said it has partnered with the world's top electronic design automation (EDA) software firms as it moves to build a vibrant ecosystem of support and services around its new foundry services business.
The Santa Clara, California-based company has enlisted Ansys, Cadence, Siemens EDA, and Synopsys to become part of its "IFS Accelerator" program. Under the program, Intel said it will give them early access to its process and advanced packaging roadmaps, process design kits (PDKs), and a range of other resources.
The close collaboration will allow the companies to fine-tune their chip design software for Intel's latest process and packaging technologies so that Intel's foundry clients can best realize their performance, power, and area goals, while reducing their time-to-market.
