It's a banality to say that nowadays, databases for digital chips are more than huge. The physical description of an SOC, encoded in the classical GDSII format, now often goes over 20Gbytes. Files of ...

For more than three decades, GDSII has been the de facto standard format for layout design data. But it has been thought for some time that GDSII's inefficient data representation makes it inadequate ...

SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwired - May 23, 2014) - eSilicon Corporation, a leading independent semiconductor design and manufacturing solutions provider, today announced the expansion of its online ...

SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwired - Jun 26, 2014) - eSilicon Corporation, a leading independent semiconductor design and manufacturing solutions provider, today announced the production release of its GDSII ...

Silicon Valley start-up Algotochip claims to reduce SOC design to 8-16 weeks by directly converting customers’ C-algorithms into an optimal IC implementation with unprecedented power savings.

Despite its general commoditization, the RTL-to-GDSII flow still sees improvements and new efficiencies. At this year’s DAC, vendors will show a number of tools and technologies intended to make your ...

LLM-aided interface for Open Source Chip Design,” was published by researchers at University of Bristol and Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. Abstract “The growing complexity of hardware design and the ...

These days, "Design for Manufacturing" (DFM) and "Design for Yield" (DFY) are frequently used terms in the EDA industry. It has been said that yield should be the "fourth design parameter" after area, ...

Synopsys has released Pilot, a design environment intended to help customers handle elements of their RTL to GDSII flow that are not related to the detail of the design. The company’s market research ...

A collaboration between Magma Design Automation and ChipX has produced a unified RTL-to-GDSII structured ASIC design flow. Based on Magma's Blast Create and Blast ...
