IP management solution is 30 times faster than predecessor

Integrated with all major design flows, SOS enables local or globally-dispersed design teams to build, manage and collaborate on designs, and improve design reuse within an enterprise while maintaining the integrity of the design data. SOS provides integrated revision control, release and derivative management, and issue tracking interfaces to commonly-used bug tracking systems, making it easier for designers to manage their design data through a tightly integrated interface to all traditional EDA tools. Support for different work models makes it suitable to manage all design data from concept through GDSII, and mitigates the possibility of design re-spins due to incorrect configurations.

SOS7 provides performance improvements of up to 30 times faster than previous versions. With remote design centres becoming a mainstay for development of SoC designs, SOS7 uses HSDT technology to keep the design data at all remote sites in sync while ensuring fast and efficient use of available bandwidth between the sites. For remote sites, SOS7 improves the performance by enabling faster queries and operations while enhancing data caching to provide quicker access to design data.

SOS7 is completely downward compatible with earlier SOS versions and contains all the robustness and features of previous versions while providing chip designers with an even faster and smarter product.

“High performance, robustness, ease-of-use and the best functionality for multi-site design teams has always been our aim at ClioSoft,” said Srinath Anantharaman, Founder and CEO, ClioSoft. “SOS7 combines the best of previous versions with new features that customers have been asking for, and remains the only design management platform supporting all types of designs: digital, analogue, RF and mixed-signal.”
