Giga Scale IC is a new company founded by J George Janac, who serves as Chairman, and Bill Sommer, who is its Chief Technology Officer. Privately funded Giga Scale IC was formed from a buyout of certain key assets of InTime Software, and has the mission to offer the first web-based electronic specification system for the semiconductor industry. Giga Scale IC's first product has been developed to reduce the risk and improve costs of doing large integrated circuit (IC) projects.

"Spinning out Giga Scale IC from InTime is a win for both companies", states Robert P Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer of InTime.

"While both share a common vision and many similar goals, we each needed to focus our product lines to fully realise these goals".

Adds Janac: "Fundamentally, Giga Scale IC is working at the conceptual specification level of design, while InTime's software is directed at the register transfer implementation level of design.

Our products will give engineers a reliable and easy-to-use means of doing design specification to early estimates of size, power, cost and yield.

This addresses a different market need from InTime's RTL tools, though the tools are certainly complementary".
