FREMONT, Calif., May 2, 2011 – ClioSoft, Inc., developer of the premier hardware configuration management (HCM) solutions for the electronics design industry, will demonstrate its SOS Design Collaboration Platform and Visual Design Diff with seamless integration with the Cadence® Virtuoso® custom design platform at CDNLive! EMEA 2011Visual Design Diff (VDD) gives users the power to quickly compare two versions of a schematic or layout by graphically highlighting the differences directly in the editors.

ClioSoft is introducing a new release of VDD that allows engineers to compare and highlight differences in schematics or layouts in the entire design hierarchy. Users can review changes made in their workspace or compare differences between two tags or milestones for the selected schematic or layout and its hierarchy below.

WHAT:  The ClioSoft SOS Design Collaboration Platform provides management and version control of design data, streamlining the design process by enhancing communication and facilitating efficient and accurate sharing of design data from concept through tape-out. The tight integration of ClioSoft’s  HCM suite with Cadence® Virtuoso® improves hardware design team productivity, reduces the chance of mask respins due to configuration errors, and makes design reuse more efficient.
