Unified workflow of next generation technologies to accelerate design of hyper-converged ICs Overview Continuous technology scaling and shift towards multi-die and heterogenous design integrations have given rise to hyper-converged designs with a significant increase in scale and system complexity. Advanced technology nodes present increased parasitics and process variations, and large heterogeneous system-in-package designs demand complex multi-dimensional analysis and improved QoR, time-to-results, and cost-of-results. Addressing these complex needs requires a holistic and cohesive approach to design and verification, and disparate tools and flows will prove to be inadequate. PrimeSim provides a unified workflow of next-generation simulation technologies to accelerate the design and signoff of hyper-converged designs. PrimeWave, a modern and open design environment, is integrated with PrimeSim to deliver a seamless simulation experience around all PrimeSim simulation engines.
