Interconnect Physical Optimization
Abstract
With adoption of 16/14nm processes, valid logic architectures can cause difficulty in closing timing during SoC physical implementation. The problem will only get worse in 7nm process SoCs. Interconnect is the major IP involved in timing closure as it contains clear majority of long wires in the SoC. This presentation covers Arteris IP tool/IP technology called PIANO TM which automates interconnect timing closure assistance to accelerate timing closure while enabling optimization of SoC area and latency.
