What is Design Space Optimization?

Today, AI can interact with humans through natural language, identify bank fraud and protect computer networks, drive cars around city streets, and play intelligent games like chess and Go. Chip design is a very large space of potential solutions, trillions of times larger than, for example, the game of Go.

DSO massively scales the exploration of choices in chip design workflows, while automating a high volume of less consequential decisions.

The DSO Agent analyzes large data streams generated by design tools and uses them to make optimization decisions, observing how a design evolves over time and adjusting design choices, technology parameters, and workflows to guide the search process towards multi-dimensional optimization objectives. Searches can be executed at massive scale, with RL-driven decision engines autonomously operating tens-to-thousands of exploration vectors and ingesting gigabytes of high-velocity design analysis data – all in real-time.
