Industrial Strength Design Data Management
Unrivalled Productivity for Global Design Teams

“We’ve taped out many RFICs that are now in orbit, ground stations, airliners and homes. IC Manage [GDP-XL] allows us to maintain the level of rigorous database control and tracking on these critical RFIC designs. IC Manage is the behind the scenes tool that is a big part of our RFIC design success.”
NXP | Udi Landen
“IP reuse is inherently difficult due to competing demands on IP developers’ time, the variety of historic designs, and the quantity of different methodologies involved. With IC Manage, we were able to deliver a global IP Catalog as a key part of NXP’s strategy to fully leverage the value of our IP.”
AMD | Simon Burke
“IC Manage Holodeck [high speed I/O scale out] helped us in our migration to cloud computing and is a key part of our AWS infrastructure. It’s on-demand…it’s block-based, not file-based, and that is actually a big difference … copying over just the block it’s reading, as opposed to the entire file does make a big difference to the performance.”

Industrial strength design data management
IC Manage provides industrial strength design data management solutions. Our products lead the market in performance, scalability, flexibility, security, and reliability. More than 40 major semiconductor companies now use our products on a global basis. Our products and platforms include:
GDP-AI
The industry’s highest performance, most reliable & scalable global design data & IP management system. GDP-AI enables companies to efficiently collaborate on single and multi-site designs.
GDP-AI for IP Lifecycle Management
IC Manage GDP-AI serves as a complete IP lifecycle management system and design data backbone for silicon lifecycle management.
Holodeck
Holodeck high speed I/O scale out increases I/O capacity and eliminates file system bottlenecks for fast hybrid and multi-cloud bursting, as well as for private data centers that need increased I/O performance.
Envision
Envision real-time progress analytics platform uses big data technology to report on design & verification progress, providing visual reporting on millions of data points across billions of records in near real time.
AI-driven design management
GDP-AI is IC Manage’s AI-driven evolution of its industry-leading GDP-XL design data and IP management system, boosting designer efficiency and shortens the time to error-free tapeouts.
GDP-AI embeds AI directly into the design & IP management workflow, providing a centralized natural language interface that delivers live project insights, workflow code generation, and unified access to deep technical knowledge.
GDP-AI for Virtuoso
GDP-AI is the defacto standard for teams doing design and IP management for custom IC design in Cadence Virtuoso.
Tightly integrated in Virtuoso, GDP-AI gives analog, mixed-signal, RF, standard cell, and memory designers version control, workspace management, and intuitive navigation across libraries, cell views, schematics, layouts, symbols, and simulation data, including atomic check-ins, real-time sync visibility, and full traceability of revisions.
What is Design Data Management?
Design data management is a system that provides secure access to all design and IP data for system and semiconductor designs for purposes of team collaboration, revision tracking & control, IP sharing & reuse, and design & verification progress analytics.
Advanced design data management systems also enable efficient data transfer and storage for running EDA applications at remote design centers and for hybrid cloud bursting.
