Innovative Technologies for Fast & High-Quality Design Closure at Advanced Process Nodes

Mentor Graphics IC implementation solutions, Olympus-SoC™ and Calibre® InRoute, deliver innovative technologies to solve the power, performance, capacity, time-to-market, and variability challenges encountered at the leading-edge process nodes.

The Olympus-SoC netlist-to-GDSII system performs variation- and power-aware rapid feasibility, including placement, advanced clock tree synthesis, and optimization for all mode/corner scenarios concurrently. Watch video ►

The Calibre InRoute design and verification platform includes all Olympus-SoC capabilities, plus true Calibre DRC and DFM signoff within the place and route environment.  Watch video ►

Benefits of Olympus tools:

• Boost IC performance with advanced multi-corner, multi-mode (MCMM) optimization

• Reduce power consumption in clock trees with MCMM clock tree synthesis

• Improve yield with DFM-aware routing to address lithography issues in a timing context during implementation

• Speed time-to-market with fewer design iterations, scalable multi-threading, and sign-off quality closure

• Load and process designs of 100M gates or more with the industry's highest-capacity data structure

• Reduce costs through high yields and fast time-to-market Boost IC performance with advanced multi-corner, multi-mode (MCMM) optimization
