Physical Design at the Edge
At the Edge Benefits
- Predictable Design Closure
- Tapeout On-Time, On-Budget –Every Time
- Increase Design Team Productivity
Tuscany® develops and markets IC design software that help chip designers achieve wickedly high performance chips – such as microprocessor, graphics, or DSP designs at 90 nm, 65 nm, and below. Tuscany tools provide tremendous physical design capacity, expandability, and extensibility that enable designers to visualize, analyze, and optimize designs using complete design data through its Badger Designer Platform and a rich portfolio of Badger Platform Plug-ins. The Badger Platform and Plug-ins enable design teams to customize or tailor their design methodology to address a variety of issues through out the design flow in order to deliver chips on time, on budget, every time.
Designer Efficiency
Tuscany recognizes that no EDA vendor (including Tuscany) is able to deliver applications today that anticipate all critical design problems a designer will confront in advanced designs. Tuscany’s applications make designers efficient in the face of daunting timing, power, and area challenges by always providing automated surgical control over the design process as required. Especially if designers are cutting a new path with advanced design architectures, libraries, tool integration, or process technologies - the next level of design control is required.
Absolute On-Demand Design Control
There are good reasons that the pilot of a plane can override the autopilot at a moment’s notice. There may not be time to turn knobs and push more buttons, do trial runs, or go back to the vendor. Similarly, absolute on-demand design control is increasingly required to deal efficiently with critical issues in advanced designs. Tuscany products augment existing automated design methodologies to add absolute design control. Design teams are able to define and implement their own custom design algorithms as issues emerge at any point in the flow from gate level netlist to extracted detailed route.
