Newark, Calif. - March 14, 2005 - Prolific, Inc., will be exhibiting the latest releases of their cell library creation and design optimization tools at this week's Synopsys Users Group (SNUG) conference in Santa Clara, and EDA Tech Forum in Long Beach.

Prolific's ProTiming block-level optimization tool gives IC designers up to 20% improvement in timing and power, with or without adding new cells to the standard cell library.

ProGenesis is Prolific's netlist-to-layout solution for creating optimized standard cell libraries. ProGenesis provides total control over every edge of the layout, captures manual edits, and quickly and automatically regenerates complete libraries.
