physical verification

Tests on Microsoft Azure's cloud have shown Mentor's AMS simulation tools can run across thousands of processors with near-linear scaling.

AMD used Calibre with optimisations implemented for cloud support to slash runtimes on high-end server processor designs.

Data-centre networking chip goes through full-chip design rule checking and layout-versus-schematic signoff on TSMC's 16nm finFET process in a day.

Mentor will be present throughout the DAC program but with a particular focus on machine learning, artificial intelligence and automotive challenges.

Early users of the new P&R integrated physical verification tool say time-to-sign-off was cut by 40% and above.
