The Milkyway™ Access Program (MAP-inSM) gives access to the widely-used Milkyway design database for the integration of commercial EDA tools into the Milkyway environment. This broadly-adopted database provides the common data repository for integrated circuit design tools, allowing seamless interoperability among implementation and analysis tools. The goal of MAP-in is to improve customer design flows through more efficient sharing of design data and increased interoperability. Any EDA vendor that wishes to integrate their products with Milkyway can join MAP-in.
