Modern hardware DM with VersICTM

VersIC is a new approach to the management of IC Design data. It provides a comprehensive, unified and reliable Design Data Management (DDM) experience in the Cadence design environment. VersIC is the highest performance design data management solution available for the Cadence design environment. Its open architecture allows it to benefit from the latest generation SCM tools (Subversion and Perforce) used by 2.5million software developers worldwide, making VersIC the most robust and bug free solution available today. Switch to VersIC and enjoy: The highest performance Cadence Design Data Management solution available VersIC operations are typically up to 8-10X faster than tools like Design Sync and Cliosoft which depend on NFS mounts and "link caches". VersIC communicates with the central repository via streaming TCP/IP (Perforce) and stateful TCP/IP (Subversion). In todays modern networks NFS is recognized as a notorious bottleneck and is a bad choice for managing large datasets. The most scalable, multi-site DM solution VersIC uses 'slave' repositories at the remote site to minimize WAN latency. These remote repositories automatically stay in sync with the master server and serve data locally to remote users. The most robust DM Solution available 2.5 Million users can't be wrong! The established user base for Subversion and Perforce is many times larger than the Custom-IC user community and ensures that the data-management databases see more bug-fixes, performance improvements and generally a greater pace of development. The tightest integration to the Cadence Virtuoso/Composer toolset VersIC is completely encapsulated in the Cadence design environment with minimal intrusion. Edit operations are seamlessly captured and the appropriate DM operations invoked with no added overhead on the user Open data storage using industry-standard SCM tools Using industry-standard SCM tools as the backend database means that your data is never locked in to a proprietary system. It also means that the numerous Perforce/Subversion companion tools are available for managing your IP and release methodologies. Industry leading Visual Change Manager (VCMTM) VersIC incorporates an industry leading Visual Change Manager (VCM) toolkit that will show designers visually how layouts/schematics have changed between versions. These are done intelligently and can differentiate between ECO's and functional changes.
