Calibre nmDRC Recon

In tests on real-world designs, the Calibre nmDRC Recon technology reduced overall DRC runtime by up to 14x while still checking ~50% of the total DRC set, which resulted in a 30% reduction in the total number of reported violations (compared to full-chip DRC). The DRC subset was effective in identifying floorplan and sub-chip integration issues that were meaningful to the targeted implementation stage, facilitating faster analysis and debugging. As part of a growing suite of early-stage design verification technologies, the Calibre nmDRC Recon solution enables designers to quickly and easily find and resolve selected physical integration issues early in the design cycle, accelerating design closure, and ensuring they deliver high-quality designs on schedule.
