Project description
A GPU-powered physical verification framework for electronic design
The semiconductor sector owes much of its growth to the electronic design automation (EDA) industry. However, chip designs have become increasingly complex, requiring extensive verification and testing before manufacturing to avoid costly re-spins and additional engineering hours. Current EDA tools, which rely on central processing unit technologies, are energy-inefficient and expensive. They also require long processing times for results. In this context, the EU-funded hyperPV project will develop the first graphics processing unit (GPU)-powered physical verification framework based on a high performance computing design rule checking engine. By leveraging the power of GPUs, the project aims to overcome the current obstacles in the chip design lifecycle and deliver more efficient and cost-effective EDA tools.
Objective
Electronic Design Automation industry has been a crucial driving force behind the growth of the Semiconductor industry. Nowadays chips have extremely complex designs. As they need to be verified and tested before the manufacturing, to avoid huge re-spin costs and additional expensive engineer hours, EDA companies deliver tools assisting semiconductor companies in addressing complex design automation challenges. Currently, EDA is not able to cope with the ever-evolving semiconductor industry and the need to boost the calculus capacities. In particular, current EDA tools, based on CPU technologies, are energy-inefficient, expensive and take long times for results. To this extent, AMSIMCEL is developing HyperPV, the first GPU-Powered Physical Verification Framework based on a High Performance Computing Design Rule Checking engine which will disrupt the EDA market by solving current bottlenecks of the design lifecycle. HyperPV can be accessed through a SaaS cloud platform.
