Altera's Japanese Distributor Set to Market, Sell Plunify's InTime FPGA Design Optimization Software


LOS ALTOS, CA--(Marketwired - Jan 28, 2015) -  Plunify® Pte. Ltd., provider of groundbreaking field programmable gate array (FPGA) software, today named Altima its distributor in Japan.

In making the announcement, Plunify commended Altima for its ability to successfully market and sell Altera FPGAs and systems on chip (SoCs) in Japan. In late 2014, Plunify announced support for Altera devices, and its InTime™ software generates optimized strategies for solving FPGA design problems using statistical modeling and machine learning to draw insights from the data to improve quality of results (QoR).

"FPGA designers in Japan are experiencing many challenges, especially those relating to timing closure," says Akinobu Miyoshi, president of Altima. "That's why we were pleased to learn about Plunify's InTime. In early engagements, designers have shown great interest in starting an evaluation. We believe it quickly will become a valued tool with FPGA designers."

"We welcome the chance to work with Altima," adds Harnhua Ng, Plunify's chief executive officer. "Its impressive track record of results and ability to match designer needs with the right toolset makes it a good partner for us."
