IC Manage
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] HistoryIn 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
