Detailed and precise hierarchical design planning is essential to achieving closure on large designs. In this article we describe a new hierarchical design flow and its usage on a 3 million-gate chip.

A new technical paper titled “CROP: Circuit Retrieval and Optimization with Parameter Guidance using LLMs” was published by researchers at Duke University and Synopsys. “Modern very large-scale ...

Today 's problems in chip design are related to flow, not tools.Building an in-house flow — the successful interplay of tools, data and people — has become increasingly difficult because there aren't ...

Routing algorithms in VLSI design form the backbone of interconnect synthesis, ensuring that circuit elements are connected efficiently while conforming to strict physical and timing constraints.
