Innovate Your Way Out of Recession With the New Encounter!

It's official! The U.S. economy has been in a recession for the past year.

And, the global credit crunch and economic recession has pulled the semiconductor industry down to the point of entering its eleventh recession.

"I'm sorry it's happening," said US President George W. Bush, referring to the global financial crisis. In fact we are all sorry but we can’t be moping around, can we? As the ex-Intel chief executive, Craig Barrett, argued "Regardless of what happens, the only way to get out of a recession is with new products. Collectively, we need to invest and bring new technology into the market."

Indeed, companies must design to innovate their way out of recession. And to help you do just that, we are launching the innovative Encounter Digital Implementation System - a next generation high-performance, high-capacity RTL-GDSII design closure solution for advanced node, ultra large-scale, ultra performance/power design flows. Encounter Digital Implementation System offers the Industry’s first end-to-end parallel-processing solution that enables all steps of the design flow to be multi-CPU enabled - from floorplanning, placement, routing, extraction to timing and signal integrity signoff, resulting in the fastest (high velocity) path to best quality of silicon.
