Synopsys unveils golden signoff ECO solution
Summary
"Given our focus on large-scale, advanced-node designs in areas such as automotive, data centers, networking and smart devices, fast turnaround time on ECOs is essential to our business success," said Kenta Sokawa, general manager, Back End Development Division, Global Development Group at Socionext. Application areas like data centers, mobile, automotive, AI and IoT are demanding aggressive PPA targets. The enormous size and complexity of deep-submicron designs means that every analysis and ECO optimisation run to fix issues takes longer and consumes more compute resources. The Synopsys PrimeClosure solution, with its innovative surgical optimization feature, improves design metrics like PPA, timing, clock network, voltage drop, variation and aging. With its novel gigachip hierarchical technology, the Synopsys PrimeClosure solution seamlessly scales designs with billion+ instances and hundreds of scenarios with a relatively small number of machines to deliver the industrys fastest turnaround time (TAT).
