Siemens Digital Industries Software has become a charter member of the Intel Foundry Services (IFS) Accelerator–EDA Alliance, a program committed to establishing an ecosystem for the design and fabrication of next generation system-on-chip (SoCs) manufactured on IFS' leading-edge process technologies.
The initiative promotes collaboration between IFS and its ecosystem partners, with a focus on reducing risk and tackling design barriers while accelerating time-to-market for mutual customers' products. IFS Accelerator–EDA Alliance partners receive early access to Intel process and packaging technologies, allowing them to co-optimize and enhance tools and flows to best realize Intel's technology capabilities.
"We are excited to announce the IFS Ecosystem Alliance as a major step forward for Intel's foundry ambitions," said Rahul Goyal, vice president and general manager for Intel Product & Design Ecosystem Enablement. "We are pleased that Siemens EDA has joined the program. The combination of Siemens' world-class EDA offerings and IFS' leading-edge process technologies will provide design teams across the industry with the solutions needed to deliver in today's competitive IC markets."
