Simulators (Critical Solutions Research)

Audience: IC Engineering Software Executive

What are you working on? Engineering IC design company, CAD tools vendor

One core area of expertise is in the full-cycle design and productization of advanced deep sub-micron (down to 45 nm CMOS) IC sub-systems and chips.  At such advanced nodes, the current generation of CAD tools and simulators has not made the sort of 10× improvements in speed and accuracy over performance in the 1990s.  GRIDBYTE™ combines extensive design expertise with software and CAD experience in a number of closed-form engagements to provide next-generation tool innovations.

• How do we create a simulator combined with optimized simulator strategics?  GridByte™ expertise is being applied to create these 10× improvements in simulator performance by tying software with circuit design.
• We apply advanced simulator strategics to reduce the simulation time of multi-GHz PLLs.  These innovations produce critical circuit performance data without taking days or filling up large disks.
• GRIDBYTE™ combines design expertise with simulator knowledge to help CAD and design companies realize 10× improvements in simulator performance.
