New capability results in significant time savings for highly complex designs

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Jan. 8, 2007 - Sigrity, Inc., the market leader in power and signal integrity software solutions for integrated circuits, IC packages and printed circuit boards, today announced it has enhanced its PowerSI™ electrical analysis solution to enable parallel and distributed computing. The move means that large tasks that formerly required lengthy processing now can be distributed among several CPUs in a computer, or among several computers, resulting in significant time savings that scales virtually linearly with the number of processors.

Sigrity's PowerSI solution, optimized for and focused on frequency-domain analysis, is known for its ability to provide fast, accurate full-wave electrical analysis of leading-edge integrated circuit (IC) packages and printed circuit boards (PCBs). It overcomes increasingly challenging high-speed design issues in power and signal integrity analysis. Most of the leading electronics companies globally have adopted PowerSI for advanced electrical analysis, making it the de facto standard power and signal integrity analysis solution in the industry.

Pricing and Availability
A regular PowerSI license can support up to four CPUs in a single computer (the host computer) at no additional charge; there is a nominal charge for additional CPUs in host or non-host computers. However, there is no charge for accessing up to four CPUs in a non-host computer where there is another available PowerSI license. For customers requesting a license to access up to four CPUs in the non-host computer with an available PowerSI license, a new license file will be sent with no charge. The parallel/distributing computing feature is available now.
