| Source: PDTi
VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwire - June 1, 2009) - PDTi, an innovative provider of
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) electronic design automation products, today
announced that SpectaReg.com, the industry's first true SaaS
hardware/software electronic design automation (EDA) tool, has been
successfully adopted by Nethra Imaging, a leading imaging and video
solutions company, for the design of their latest multi-core SoC.
"The Nethra SoC is the first production chip to use SpectaReg.com from
design start to end and proves our value as a highly effective and reliable
tool that will significantly cut development costs and time," said Jeremy
Ralph, President of PDTi. "In today's economy, SpectaReg.com offers the
ideal cost structure, particularly for small and medium size companies
needing to reduce cost, allowing resources to be focused on differentiating
core competencies."
"SpectaReg.com can be depended upon to produce consistent, error-free
register IP and documentation from a single source even with close to two
thousand registers and collaboration between many designers," said Krishnan
Iyer, VP of Engineering. "Selecting SpectaReg.com was both a business and
technical decision. It was easy to implement it into the SoC design flow
and we expect to reap more savings and benefits from it in future designs."
SpectaReg, from PDTi, is an essential web-based register automation tool
for software/hardware interface design. SpectaReg's web-browser GUI
simplifies engineering workflows cutting development time and costs.
Specifications are easily read into the tool and matching hardware logic,
hardware verification, firmware, documentation and more are all rapidly
auto-generated from a single source. Unlike traditional in-house solutions
and competing offerings, SpectaReg is a collaborative web application that
easily scales across teams and locations. SpectaReg.com is the industry's
first true SaaS register automation tool available online today for
evaluation and production. SpectaReg is also available onsite for
companies with restrictive SaaS adoption policies. Try it at
