A*STAR and partners launch EDA Garage to aid semiconductor sector
CM Engineering Labs Singapore is the first subscriber of the initiative.
The Agency for Science, Technology, and Research (A*STAR) in collaboration with Enterprise Singapore, and EDA companies, Cadence, Keysight, and Synopsys, launched the Electronic Design Automation (EDA) Garage to aid local semiconductor companies.
The initiative is part of A*STAR’s inaugural “Innovate Together” event.
The EDA Garage aims to advance EDA tools accessible to local companies, especially start-ups and SMEs. These tools are specialised software suites that are used to design, simulate, analyse, and verify semiconductor chips virtually before they are fabricated.
Under the EDA Garage, local companies will be able to purchase flexible, pay-per-use tool licenses. In addition, Cadence, Keysight, and Synopsys will offer training and support to use their tools.
