MUSIC Agenda Focuses on Meeting Today's Nanometer Design Challenges
MUSIC provides an open forum for users to gain expertise using Magma's chip design software, and to exchange ideas about and solutions for the challenges of nanometer integrated circuit and system-on-chip (SoC) designs.
Over the years MUSIC has become a leading venue for Magma users to gather, share and learn best practices and solutions. This year's program covers a range of Magma software capabilities including synthesis, placement and routing, floorplanning, library characterization, verification, circuit simulation and analog design. Users will share useful tips on how to leverage Magma software to improve results, reduce power, minimize costs and increase productivity.
Users' presentations include:
* "Using Magma Software for Large, High-Speed ASICs in 65-nm and 40-nm Technologies"
* "Hierarchical Planning and Implementation of a 25-Million-Gate, 80+ Soft Macro Flip Chip Using Hydra and Talus®"
* "Evaluation and Comparison of the Talus Multi-Mode/Multi-Corner Flow to the Merged-Mode Approach"
* "A Civilized Post-Mask ECO Flow"
* "Qualifying SiliconSmart® and FineSim"
* "A New Approach to Mixed-Signal Test Chip/IP Creation Flows Using Titan"
* "Faster Analog Design Verification Using FineSim"
