# {: [7 @# y6 _; }全球3大EDA廠台灣研發中心全數就位
明導3Q將設立研發中心 益華編制將倍增　新思龍頭地位備受挑戰

台灣再度成為3大電子設計自動化（Electronic Design Automation；EDA）業者角力戰場！繼新思（Synopsys）台灣研發中心擴編進度超前，益華（Cadence）在新任總經理張郁禮帶領下，規劃將台灣研發中心人員擴充1倍以上，全力搶攻台灣新思旗下客戶群並開發前端科技新興市場，誓言奪回市場寶座；據了解，明導（Mentor）同時也規劃第三季將設立台灣研發中心，並延攬台灣新思研發中心主管劉樂群領軍，3大EDA業者本土戰雲密佈！

Calibre 是這幾年才廣被採用的 DRC/LVS/LPE的軟体
在這之前  Dracula已經在學術界使用了將近五到七年的時間

板主，這個問題包涵太大了，像是哪邊戰力強，如果是問Analog這塊的話，我會說是Cadence。如果是Digital那我就會投Synopsys.

創意電子採用Encounter數位設計實現系統在台積16奈米FinFET Plus製程完成首件量產設計定案
Cadence數位解決方案協助創意電子提升2倍系統效能並完成1.8億邏輯閘SoC設計

台灣新竹(2014年10月21日) -全球電子設計創新領導廠商益華電腦(Cadence Design Systems, Inc.) (NASDAQ: CDNS)與彈性客製化IC領導廠商(Flexible ASIC LeaderTM)創意電子(GLOBAL UNICHIP CORP.，GUC)宣布，創意電子在台積電16nm FinFET Plus (16FF+)製程上，採用Cadence® Encounter®數位設計實現系統完成首件高速運算ASIC的設計定案(tape-out)。創意電子結合16FF+製程的效能優勢並採用Cadence數位解決方案，可讓這個ASIC的操作時序提升18%、且功耗減少28%，在其應用的系統上更可以達到兩倍的效能。
2 g8 `7 B- c1 i" V4 J
創意電子運用Encounter數位設計實現系統解決16FF+的設計實現挑戰，包括雙重曝光和FinFET設計規則檢查(DRC)、時序和電流變異性，以及處理量要求。Encounter系統還能提供以下優點：
