Cadence takes chip verification in cloud to new level
Cadence Design Systems is offering semiconductor IC design verification which makes use of parallel computing resources in the cloud.
Apr. 13, 2017, Apr. 13, 2017 – Called Pegasus, the verification tool has the capability to offer fast design rule check (DRC) performance on hundreds of CPUs while also reducing turnaround time from days to hours versus the previous-generation Cadence verification tool.
"Engineers have experienced increasing DRC complexity at advanced nodes, and current DRC solutions can't support the turnaround requirements needed to ensure that design schedules are met," said Dr. Anirudh Devgan, general manager of the system and verification group at Cadence.
The tool makes use of cloud computing which means that data processing capability is scalable and Cadence says it has been demonstrated on up to 960 CPUs.
