Logic Designers: Recapture control to achieve predictable closure on your project goals
Overview:
You are invited to attend a webinar outlining a new approach to designing for performance in the context of your overall project goals. A "performance at all costs" approach is no longer feasible given today's chip design challenges. This webinar will outline a new powerful front-end methodology along with state-of-the-art technologies and techniques that deliver more efficiency and predictability in closure on your performance goals while managing the increasing factors of power consumption, cost, and schedule. Some highlights include:
  • Physically aware global synthesis - A new and unique approach that combines well-proven global synthesis and silicon virtual prototyping technologies to provide real physical interconnect timing to the logic design process. This solution scales from the RTL block design to the chip-level interconnect level to deliver the appropriate amount of physical feedback to drive global logic optimization and to help logic designers make the decisions that ultimately affect the final performance, power, and size of the chip.
  • Formally validated constraints - Check design constraints for correctness, validate false paths functionally, and pinpoint real design issues quickly. The result is a much more efficient process to improve constraints, which will reduce re-spins, eliminate manual errors, and speed closure on timing, power, and area goals through implementation.
  • Productive signoff static timing analysis (STA) - Silicon accurate signoff timing analysis coupled with a productive analysis environment speeds the pinpointing of timing issues. This front-to-back timing analysis environment enables faster convergence and design closure with physical implementation.
Please join us in this compelling webinar and hear what all the excitement is about.

Who should attend?
  • Engineering managers
  • RTL designers
  • Front-end synthesis users
  • Engineers or technical managers interested in improving engineering productivity, achieving more rapid design closure, improving closure on timing, power, and area goals, and minimizing iterations between front-end and back-end implementation teams.
