Acceleware Announces Partnership With Agilent Technologies to Provide Simulation Acceleration
By Narayan Bhat TMCnet Contributing Editor
Computing solutions company Acceleware has entered into a partnership with Agilent (News - Alert) Technologies to sell its acceleration products to Agilent customers.
Acceleware’s software acceleration products are expected to reduce design simulation and data processing run-times of high performance computing (HPC) applications such as cell phone design and communications devices design, the company said.
"Acceleware's technology significantly improves the productivity of our users in areas such as Antenna design for wireless appliances and signal integrity by increasing the speed and size of simulations they can perform," said Erwin De Baetselier, product-marketing manager with Agilent's EEsof EDA division, in a statement.
In addition, these products increase speeds of simulation processing by more than 35 times, thus reduce the time required to run a typical simulation from 10 hours to under 20 minutes, according to the company.
The agreement is likely to strengthen Agilent and enable it to lure in more customers for its electronic design automation software for high-frequency
system, circuit, and modeling applications.
“AMDS customers are continually challenged with shorter product development cycles for many complex products. Our solution allows AMDS users to push the boundaries of innovation by shortening the time scales required to deliver faster and better quality products, which will ultimately provide the best possible customer experience.” Ryan Schneider, Acceleware's chief technology officer, said.
Simulating devices typically reduce design cycle time significantly, eliminating up to 75 percent of the modeling and setup time required by other types of EM simulators.
Agilent Technologies is the world's premier measurement company and a technology leader in communications, electronics, life sciences, and chemical analysis. The company's controls 19,000 employees and has customers in more than 110 countries. Agilent had net revenue of $5.0 billion in fiscal 2006.
