“Talus provides great value to our customers who utilize advanced development technologies and methodologies to deliver highly innovative products,” said Kam Kittrell, general manager of Magma’s Design Implementation Business Unit. “This revolutionary platform eliminates the need of manual floorplanning in hierarchical designs. It automatically creates a floorplan and handles block dependencies such as clocking requirements, power grids, block pins assignment and budgeting. This allows customers to realize a quick turnaround time through distributed design implementation employing multiple computers throughout the flow. We’re very pleased with the nomination for the EDN Innovation of the Year as we feel it underscores the growing impact Talus is having in the industry.”
The advanced implementation capabilities in Talus are designed to dramatically reduce the design development cycle and design costs, and speed yield ramp-up for ICs targeted at 65-nanometer (nm) and smaller process geometries.

About the EDN Innovation Awards
The EDN Innovation Awards honor outstanding engineering professionals and products and recognize unique, state-of-the-art electronics products in several categories. The Innovator of the Year award recognizes an electronics engineer or engineering team for innovation in product design or technical leadership.
In addition to honoring these people and products, EDN donates a portion of the proceeds from the nominations and the awards event to an engineering college or university chosen by the Innovator of the Year. It's EDN’s way of encouraging and supporting tomorrow's great minds.
The EDN Innovation Awards carry special meaning because the winners are chosen by a jury of their peers. After an open nomination period, a panel of EDN editors selects finalists in each category. Then, EDN's audience of engineers and engineering managers votes to select the final winners using an online ballot at www.edn.com/innovation.
