Old, but interesting news from PC Semiconductor.

BANGALORE, INDIA: Magma Design Automation Inc. announced that NVIDIA Corp. deployed Magma’s Talus 1.1 IC implementation system into full production.

Talus 1.1 offers significant improvements in routing, optimization and runtime as well as enhanced usability features. NVIDIA had been participating in the beta testing of the latest Talus release and, based on the positive results of the testing and improved flow performance, made the decision to start using Talus 1.1 for NVIDIA’s production design projects.

This is definitely interesting news, but I feel that it is too old to be moved to the front page. I will move it to General Graphics instead.
