Golden Signoff Accuracy, Performance, Scalability for Accelerated Turnaround Time

PrimeLib solution includes a comprehensive array of library characterization and QA capabilities that are tuned to produce PrimeTime? signoff quality libraries with maximum throughput on available compute resources. PrimeLib’s innovative technologies utilize embedded gold reference SPICE engines to provide a characterization speed up of advanced Liberty? models used by PrimeTime static timing analysis (STA) to accurately account for effects seen in ultra-low voltage FinFET processes that impact timing. This includes PrimeTime parametric on-chip variation (POCV), advanced waveform propagation (AWP) and electromigration (EM) analysis. PrimeLib is cloud-ready, and with its optimized scaling technology delivers an accelerated throughput on cloud or an on-premise cluster.
