SUMMARY:Accelerating IR Simulation Workflows with Automated Setup and Resu
 lts Data Visualization Tools for Digital Designs using Voltus Platform
DESCRIPTION:Ninad Khire, Yash Zavar, Kavithaa Rajagopalan, Keerthi Nori, M

 \nIn the work of IR analysis for digital designs, setting up simulations a
 nd performing quality checks (QC) are critical yet time-intensive tasks, o
 ften requiring proficiency in Unix commands and scripting. \nThis challeng
 e becomes more pronounced when team members are new and lack prior experie
 nce in automation workflows. \nMetrics report dumped by the EDA view tools
  only captures the following run specific details \nIR run logfile path \n
 Runtime and memory usage \nMetrics report captures only few aspects of the
  IR analysis \nPower/IV reports \nIV hotspot gif \nWorst IR drop, \nAvg ef
 fective voltage, \nnumber of violations above specified threshold \nThe in
 formation provided may not be sufficient to thoroughly analyse the IR hots
 pot and root-cause study. \nTo address these challenges, we developed a GU
 I-based automation tool that simplifies the simulation setup process, redu
 cing reliance on manual command-line operations. \nAdditionally, an intera
 ctive HTML dashboard was designed to provide an intuitive and efficient me
 ans of analyzing IR drop results, tracking simulation quality, and logging
  issues. \nBy abstracting complex Unix commands into a user-friendly inter
 face, this solution significantly enhanced the team's productivity, reduci
 ng setup times and minimizing human errors. \nThe interactive dashboard en
 abled rapid identification of issues and streamlined the QC process, even 
 for team members with limited technical expertise. \nThis paper outlines t
 he development, implementation, and impact of these tools, demonstrating t
 heir effectiveness in increasing efficiency, reducing onboarding times for
  new team members, and ensuring robust design implementations.\n\n
