With Data Model 6, the newest version of OpenAccess, you can dramatically improve design productivity and the ability to get your innovation to market.
DM6 will help the industry keep pace with cloud migration through multi-threaded and multi-process parallel applications.
Reported savings of 1-6 months and $1.4 million per project.
Extensions: Magnify the Power of OpenAccess
Extensions are a suite of enhancements that magnify the power and flexibility of OpenAccess, including:
- oaScript allows users to create personalized design scripts in any of four languages: Python, tcl, Ruby, or perl.
- oaxPop brings the power of the popular Boost Polygon Library to the OpenAccess database.
- oatDebug allows developers to view their application’s OA database parameters.
Wise Insights for Fabless and IDM Design Teams
- Quickly access all of your design data, from transistor-level to tool-level.
- Stitch together optimal design flows using best-in-class proprietary and supplier tools.
- Efficiently create reusable scripts to automate design tasks, mine data, or fix bugs.
- Develop interoperable, point-of-use tools using Python, Ruby, Perl, tcl, or C++.
- Easily correct costly design errors on-the-fly with OA’s scripting interface.
Serious, Interoperable Tools are Built With OpenAccess
- OA-supported EDA tools are plug-and-play interoperable with most design flows.
- OA Database tool access is light-years faster than translated-file transfers.
- OA Data Model 6 enables multi-threaded, multi-processing. Up to 10X speedups.
- Create rapid prototypes using Python, Ruby, Perl or tcl. Build a product in just months.
- Quality-checked OA updates offer performance and capability enhancements.
