Speed and Storage Top Two Design File Management Issues; IP Reuse Growing in Importance
LOS GATOS, Calif., May 15, 2012 – IC Manage, Inc. today announced the availability of its fourth annual
“Global Design Management Report”, which covers the results of a 524 respondent survey of IC design
professionals.
IC Manage’s Global Design Management Report 2012 covers the following findings from an industry wide
April 2012 independent, anonymous worldwide survey:
- Driving reasons to use a design management system: 2009 - 2012
- IP reuse and logistics management critical features
- Design Management system adoption
- Open Source design management missing functions
- Design File Management Issues, including EDA tool slowdown due to network storage bottlenecks,
and issues with symbolic links for disk space management
“Speed and storage are the top concerns with design file management,” said Dean Drako, President and
CEO at IC Manage. “Additionally, IP reuse has more than doubled in importance as a design
management driver over the last two years, with bug dependency management the leading DM
challenge. It is vital that a design management system deliver all these technologies to design and
verification teams.”
