Fenix-DA has created a much needed set of tools which are applied towards consistency checking of components of the designflow, starting with the enormous variety of library formats. All these different formats (f.i. Verilog, VHDL, .lib, schematic, Spice, lef, Milkyway, just to name a few) present a significant challenge to the chip designer since there are many inconsistencies / inaccuracies amongst these views. |
||
| Shrinking geometries and increasing density makes a professional Validation tool a real necessity. Validation checks include both digital and analog libraries and small IP blocks. | ||
| The ultimate goal of Fenix is to offer the client a Quality assessment of the entire designflow, thereby avoiding tape-out delays or re-spins. | ||

| At DAC, Gauda will demonstrate how it can accelerate OPC (optical proximity correction) and verification 200 times faster than traditional solutions and that runs on today’s desktop computers. Gauda technology, introduced in late February 2008, achieves breakthrough acceleration without any specialized hardware or FPGAs, speeding “time to mask.” The company has developed a new breed of algorithms utilizing CPUs and GPUs (graphical processing units) that are traditionally used for gaming. With Gauda technology and approximately 10 all-commodity desktop computers, a large 45nm full-chip layout can be decorated overnight. A single desktop computer is sufficient to complete verification overnight. | ||
