SUMMARY:Accelerating Tapeout by Months with Cost-Effective Per-Minute EDA 
 Cloud Licensing
DESCRIPTION:Vikram Bhatia and Sashi Obilisetty (Synopsys)\n\nIn this sessi
 on, we will present how we optimized SPICE simulation for a D flip-flop, r
 educing the transient analysis Monte Carlo simulation time for 5000 sample
 s to under 1 hour from the typical 8-hour run, while simultaneously reduci
 ng EDA software license costs by 75% on the cloud. We then leveraged the s
 ame technique to scale to larger designs with more complex requirements, a
 chieving similar results and accelerating speedup 2X to 52X across multipl
 e flows such as timing and power signoff, formal verification, and DRC ext
 raction. We will share specific real-world design scenarios and examples o
 f successful tapeouts completed months ahead of schedule by scaling per-mi
 nute licensing usage across the entire chip design project.\n\n
