IC Manage is a company that provides design data and IP management, Big Data Analytics, Hybrid Cloud Bursting, and High-Performance Computing software to semiconductors, systems, Internet of Things and artificial intelligence IC companies.[1]

History

[edit]

In 2003, IC Manage was founded by Shiv Sikand and Dean Drako.[2]

In 2004, IC Manage introduced the beta version of its commercial design data management software system that provided version control, configuration management, and software bug tracking. The design management system included a graphical Cadence Design Framework user interface and worked with both the Cadence and the OpenAccess databases. It tracked only modified files and stored metadata about revisions and configurations in a relational database separate from the design data.[3]

In 2007, IC Manage announced its Global Design Platform (GDP) design data management system. GDP had bi-directional component tracking for IC revisions and derivatives; mixing, match, and reuse of components and semiconductor intellectual property cores across local and remote design sites; defect tracking and workspace synchronization to the same state when a designer reported, fixed, or verified a software bug.[4]

In 2007, Nvidia manufactured over 100 chips that used IC Manage software during design.[5]

In 2009, IC Manage content management software was mentioned as a technology driver enabling semiconductor companies to do design work across local and remote geographic locations, as part of a significant trend toward outsourcing design work to other countries. IC Manage's software creates a workspace that abstracts the design data from the underlying directory organization.[6]

In 2011, DeepChip.com ranked IC Manage IP Central (IP Pro) as the #1 item to see at the Design Automation Conference.[7]

From 2010 through 2014, IC Manage has been included in the annual "What to See at DAC" list by the GarySmith EDA analyst firm. In 2010 for Enterprise Tools,[8] in 2011 for Design Management,[9] in 2012 and 2013 for Design Debug,[10][11] and 2014 for Enterprise tools.[12]

In 2014, IC Manage was selected as one of Deloitte Fast 500, a ranking of the 500 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences and clean technology companies in North America. IC Manage grew 178 percent during the 4 years from 2008 to 2012.[13]

In 2015, Design Automation Conference attendees ranked IC Manage Envision Design Progress Analytics as the #1 item at the conference.[14]

In 2016, Design Automation Conference attendees ranked IC Manage as #3 at the conference, based on its software application accelerator product.[15]

In 2018, DeepChip.com ranked IC Manage PeerCache for hybrid cloud bursting as one of 3 companies in the #1 group to see at the Design Automation Conference.[16] Pedestal Research also included IC Manage in its 2018 What to See at DAC list.[17]

In 2022, IC Manage announced IC Manage Holodeck high-performance computing product works with Microsoft Azure[18] and Amazon AWS.[19]

Products

[edit]
  • Global Design Platform (GDP) - In April 2007, IC Manage announced its Global Design Platform (GDP) design data management system.[20]
  • IP Central/ IP Pro - In June 2011, the company introduced its IP Central platform targeted to design and verification teams for IP reuse, including publishing, sharing and integration and revisions of internal and third-party IP, and IP bug dependency tracing.[21]
  • IC Manage Views – In May 2012, the company announced its IC Manage Views workspace acceleration software, a version aware file system which presents complete virtual workspace views, and transfers data on demand to a local file cache.[22]
  • IC Manage Envision Design Progress Analytics - In May 2015, the company announced its IC Manage Envision Big Data Predictive Analytics, providing real-time design progress analytics for predicting and managing projects.[23]
  • IC Manage PeerCache. In May 2016, IC Manage first presented its PeerCache for the application I/O speedup.[24] In May 2018, IC Manage presented details on PeerCache for Hybrid Cloud Bursting.[25]
  • IC Manage Envision Verification Analytics - In December 2017, the company announced its IC Manage Envision Verification Analytics, to help companies allocate their resources in near real-time to accelerate their verification schedules, including identifying verification bottlenecks with specific design changes.[26][27] The company also announced its Big Data Labs.[28][29]
  • IC Manage GDP-XL - In March 2018, the company released its IC Manage GDP-XL design & IP management system, including a Git API.[30]
  • IC Manage Holodeck HPC product provides access to cloud-compute capacity and hybrid cloud bursting by virtually projecting terabyte/petabyte NFS file systems, and transferring only the specific data segments required by the job. [31]
