The faculty will use the software in their research. A third priority of the UT president is recognition for the university as one of higher education's leaders in information technology. Bouldin and Dr. Danny Newport, associate professor, worked with Cadence for more than 18 months to obtain the gift, Stoneking said. Bouldin said testing complex circuits will be much faster using the new software. You can get from the idea stage to the working chip much faster.
Students using the software can spend more time learning and less time testing designs.
Faculty also will be able to complete research on larger projects in much less time, Bouldin said. We hope that the General Assembly will find the resources in the upcoming legislative session to allow us to make even greater strides.
