Presentation
Accelerating Tapeout by Months with Cost-Effective Per-Minute EDA Cloud Licensing
DescriptionIn this session, we will present how we optimized SPICE simulation for a D flip-flop, reducing the transient analysis Monte Carlo simulation time for 5000 samples to under 1 hour from the typical 8-hour run, while simultaneously reducing EDA software license costs by 75% on the cloud. We then leveraged the same technique to scale to larger designs with more complex requirements, achieving similar results and accelerating speedup 2X to 52X across multiple flows such as timing and power signoff, formal verification, and DRC extraction. We will share specific real-world design scenarios and examples of successful tapeouts completed months ahead of schedule by scaling per-minute licensing usage across the entire chip design project.
