PrimeLib: Unified Library Characterization and Validation
Golden Signoff Accuracy, Performance, Scalability for Accelerated Turnaround Time
The PrimeLib solution includes a comprehensive array of library characterization and QA capabilities that are tuned to produce PrimeTime® signoff quality libraries with maximum throughput on available compute resources. PrimeLib’s innovative technologies utilize embedded gold reference SPICE engines to provide a characterization speed up of advanced Liberty™ models used by PrimeTime static timing analysis (STA) to accurately account for effects seen in ultra-low voltage FinFET processes that impact timing. This includes PrimeTime parametric on-chip variation (POCV), advanced waveform propagation (AWP) and electromigration (EM) analysis. PrimeLib is cloud-ready, and with its optimized scaling technology delivers an accelerated throughput on cloud or an on-premise cluster.
