  Electronic design automation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
EDA for electronics has rapidly increased in importance with the continuous scaling of semiconductor technology.
Design Automation software was developed in the 70s, in academia and within large companies, but it was not until the early 1980s that software to help with the design portion of the process became commercially available.
Magma Design Automation was founded in 1997 to take advantage of the simplifications possible by building an IC design system from scratch.

 Gradient Design Automation
Gradient Design Automation provides solutions for the temperature issues facing designers of nanometer-scale digital and mixed-signal integrated circuits (ICs) and power-sensitive designs for the networking, wireless, communications, computer, and consumer market segments.
Never before have designers had access to detailed full-chip temperature information from the early stages of design planning through to final sign-off, accounting for package characteristics and ambient temperatures.
Tools fit into the standard EDA flows so that designers can use this temperature information to more accurately determine the thermal effects on critical aspects of their designs, such as leakage power, voltage drop and timing, signal crosstalk and timing, and electro-migration.
