Generating deep-submicron tests on a single processor core can take weeks or longer, especially for very large designs. TetraMAX's multicore processing capability employs algorithms to ensure that runtime performance scales well with the number of processor cores used, speeding ATPG runtime on eight cores, for example, by six times or more. Built into the Galaxy(TM) Implementation Platform to eliminate time-consuming iterations between synthesis, scan insertion and physical implementation, DFTMAX(TM) compression and TetraMAX ATPG provide designers with a comprehensive solution for meeting their most challenging quality and cost goals for test.

"Design engineers are under pressure to deliver increasingly complex products to market in less time but with higher quality," said Gal Hasson, senior director of marketing for synthesis and test at Synopsys. "TetraMAX's multicore processing capability accelerates test pattern generation, enabling customers, such as Arrow Electronics, to meet their test development schedules in the presence of increasingly challenging test requirements."
