Cadence digital full flow achieves certification for GlobalFoundries 12LP/12LP+ process platforms
Summary
The certification confirms that the Cadence digital full flow has met all of GF’s accuracy, integration and quality of results (QoR) criteria specified for the 12LP/12LP+ process platforms, enabling mutual customers to reach power, performance, and area (PPA) goals faster and to deliver new products to market with shorter design cycles. The Cadence tools were optimised for the GF 12LP/12LP+ process platforms and certified using an industry-standard high-efficiency processor core. The flow also provides unified implementation, timing- and IR-signoff engines, offering enhanced signoff convergence by concurrently closing the design for all physical, timing and reliability targets. “The Cadence digital full flow certification on our 12LP/12LP+ process platforms validates the accuracy of the implementation and signoff methodology,” said Richard Trihy, Vice President of design enablement at GF. “Through our collaboration, we’re providing our customers with a trusted solution to speed up the implementation process, which is particularly critical for those creating emerging aerospace, hyperscale computing and AI applications and experiencing great pressure to deliver new products to market quickly.” “Through the integration and innovation offered by our digital full flow, customers using GF’s 12LP/12LP+ process platforms can confidently converge on their PPA targets faster,” said Kam Kittrell, Senior Group Director, Product Management, in the Digital & Signoff Group at Cadence.
