client feedback
Satoshi Shibatani, Director of Digital Design Technology Department, Renesas Shared R&D EDA Department:
“In order to maximize the efficient use of the latest process nodes to create new designs, our engineering team needs to continuously develop advanced digital design implementation processes. For more efficient product development, it has become critical for the design implementation process to be automatically optimized. With its innovative machine learning capabilities and the Cadence RTL-to-signoff tool flow, Cerebrus can provide automated process optimization and layout planning optimization, improving design performance by more than 10%. In view of the successful experience of the project, we will develop it in the latest design project. using this tool process.”
Sangyun Kim, Vice President of Design Technology, Samsung Foundry:
“As Samsung Foundry continues to deploy the most advanced process nodes, it is important to ensure that our Design Technology Co-Optimization (DTCO) program is efficient and we are always looking for innovative ways to exceed PPA goals in silicon implementation. As we work with As part of a long-term partnership with Cadence, Samsung Foundry has used Cerebrus and Cadence's digital design implementation flow in multiple applications, reducing power consumption by more than 8% in just a few days on some very critical modules. , which used to take months to achieve manually. In addition, we are using Cerebrus for automatic floor planning power distribution network selection, which improves the final design timing by more than 50% due to Cerebrus and the digital implementation process . With outstanding PPA results and significant productivity gains, this solution has become a valuable addition to our DTCO program.”
