One of the key factors in the design and development of submicron chip designs is the setting of good physical and timing constraints, no matter what type of design methodology you use. Constraints ...

Naturally, Accellera’s Portable Stimulus Standard (PSS) supports the powerful capabilities of advanced verification techniques that are well-known in the industry today, including object-oriented ...

Signoff of a system on chip (SoC) or IP design has multiple aspects, but often timing closure is the most challenging. Early use of a static timing analysis (STA) tool is clearly important, and such a ...

SAN JOSE, CA. --Apr 14, 2003-- Atrenta® Inc, the Predictive Analysis® Company, announced that SpyGlass® Constraints, the first chip design tool that checks design constraint files, including SDC ...

As the complexity of designs has scaled, the need to provide accurate physical constraints like timing, area, power and port locations has become very important. Of these, timing constraints are the ...

The transport-level server load balancing architectures described in the first half of this article are more than adequate for many Web sites, but more complex and dynamic sites can’t depend on them.
