ANSYS Licenses Simulation Tools to ARM

ANSYS has licensed its tools to ARM, a semiconductor intellectual property (IP) company for simulation needs. The goal will be to help support ARM for the development of semiconductor technology, a press release states.

ANSYS Redhawk, ANSYS Totem and ANSYS PowerArtist simulation solutions will help with electrostatic discharge, electromigration, power modeling, analyzing and validating foundation IP building blocks, as well as central processing units and graphics processing unit cores, according to ANSYS.

“The demand for reliable, robust and power efficient designs increases in a smart connected world as many devices will have to operate in energy-constrained environments,” said Brent Dichter, vice president, engineering flows, ARM. “The SoC’s design is a key part of the energy-efficiency equation. Giving our semiconductor partners access to our IP through ANSYS’ simulation tools enables them to optimize their designs earlier and allow more time to be spent creating competitive products that smooth their delivery path.”
