San Jose, Calif., Jan 5, 2011 - Atrenta Inc., the leading provider of Early Design Closure® solutions to radically improve design efficiency throughout the IC design flow, announced today that it will participate in a worldwide social media platform aimed at facilitating mass communication for electronic design professionals through Web 2.0 technologies.

The stated goal of SemiWiki.com is to "bring technology and technologists closer together than ever before, closing the gap between pre-sales expectations and post-sales experience." Atrenta, along with other members of the EDA, IP and foundry ecosystem, will contribute content such as company and product wikis, blogs and discussion forums.

"Atrenta had been searching for a way to reach out to its users to promote interactive discussion on design experiences and best practices," said Mike Gianfagna, vice president of marketing at Atrenta. "SemiWiki.com provided us with a well-planned platform to achieve our goal. I invite all of our users and prospective users to register and participate."

The site is now live and may be reached at http://semiwiki.com/. Users can easily set up an account to access information, provide feedback and post content.

"Our industry needs a site that facilitates real time, vendor neutral discussion from real users," said Dan Nenni, EDA/semiconductor blogger, strategic consultant and founder of SemiWiki.com. "SemiWiki.com will provide our registered users with a connected community that promotes the open exchange of ideas, experiences and feedback."

Daniel Nenni will be joined by industry bloggers Paul McLellan, Daniel Payne, and Eric Esteve on SemiWiki.com.
