Fastest Performance

The IC Manage GDP data storage and delivery engine is the fastest available anywhere. A company doing full custom design provided the benchmark data for the 2 examples below. The data set used consisted of a single DFII library of approximately:

  • 30K files
  • 50 MBytes of data

The import operation time was calculated for five hardware design configuration management tools on identical hardware with 2GB of RAM, as shown below.

Import Operations
IC Manage is orders of magnitude faster - example 1

The times to perform common daily operations performance are shown below. IC Manage GDP’s performance level was consistently 10 to 100 times faster than the closest competitor.

The IC Manage GDP architecture yields equal performance across a wide range of operations, in contrast to systems that optimize certain operations at the expense of others. The most marked example was Tool A that performs well on incremental operations for synchronization, but is nearly unusable for check-in.

With IC Manage GDP, streaming data operations complete in seconds not hours. The message queuing TCP architecture has high performance over networks, particularly over long latency setups like the Internet. As a result, message setup overheads are virtually eliminated and streaming data operations are purely bandwidth limited. The same TCP architecture is used over the LAN, WAN or VPN for fully optimized performance. In contrast, traditional solutions rely on a disjoint set of protocols, such as NFS on the LAN and HTTP on the WAN, resulting in order of magnitude slowdowns.
