hi,

how much difference is there betwn Cadence SoC Encounter and Magma's Blast Fusion ?

also what other tools are availbale from Magma for semicustom designs, and if possible the licence cost of that tool (or from where i would get the cost of the licence)


thanks, reply soon.

Magma is based on gain based Synthesis and SoC encounter is based on WLM.
 

other tools from magma are :
blast create,blast noise,power are some of the tools. i would suggest that u register in vitalect.com to go over the magma tool flow for physical design.
 

culd u upload magma manuals here?
regards,
-Sri

Magma is better in deep sub-micro design, such as under 90nm.
 


SoCEncouter is the worst PHysical implementation tool(except for routing) among the 3 eda vendors(cadence, synopsys, magma).

As to the semicustom design, it depends your design scope and flow, magma is very flexable, but layout editing is a big con. The biggest advantage you can get from the magma is that tool is cheaper, that is lots of money, dude.
