Detailed and precise hierarchical design planning is essential to achieving closure on large designs. In this article we describe a new hierarchical design flow and its usage on a 3 million-gate chip.
Today 's problems in chip design are related to flow, not tools.Building an in-house flow — the successful interplay of tools, data and people — has become increasingly difficult because there aren't ...
As semiconductor technology pushes the boundaries of scale and complexity, traditional VLSI physical design methodologies are struggling to keep pace. The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI), ...
