Planning: Today’s semiconductor design projects employ geographically distributed, multi-discipline teams. Effective planning is crucial to bring projects in on time. mCASPAR helps eliminate plan omissions and schedule slips by actively engaging all stakeholders. mCASPAR’s plans capture each stakeholders concerns and display real-time status in the plan document! And, with mCASPAR’s Total Resource Access Center (TRAC), the plan is linked to processes, intellectual property, and the people who are performing the work. The effectiveness of the team is maximized by fully leveraging all of the project’s resources.

mCASPAR: the Plan is the Process.

Execution: mCASPAR’s ESL synthesis technology and IP mining capabilities leverage your existing IP and your verification plan to automatically generate source code, helping to reduce the time and effort spent on implementation.

In addition, mCASPAR’s process control interface helps fully leverage your existing processes by providing powerful launch, automation and tracking facilities. With mCASPAR you can quickly incorporate your existing processes without modification, which can speed time-to-value. mCASPAR’s customizable integration with distributed resource management tools helps you utilize your compute farms according to the unique needs of your project.

Measurement: Verification processes produce gigabytes of data that can be used to speed debug, automate processes, and evaluate the project’s status — but only if you can access the data efficiently! mCASPAR’s Total Resource Access Center links automatically captured process data with related design features, enabling stakeholders to easily access the data they need directly from the verification plan.

Adaptation: mCASPAR’s engineering analysis and automation facilities help leverage process data for improved productivity while mCASPAR’s management tools help you leverage the same data to make more effective tactical and strategic decisions. The analysis facilities utilize business productivity tools you already know, helping to reduce learning curve and software maintenance costs
