It's not only P&R tool, also have RTL synthesis, floorplan, physical synthesis, STA parts, it holds all tools that do RTL2GDS flow. equl synopsys DC+PhySyn+Jupiter+Astro+PT
As catking mentioned above, to me, the main advantage of Magma tools over others is a single tool (executable) for the whole rtl to gds flow. So you can go back to previous stage easily and not need to worry about the format exchange btw tools to tools.
It is said that magma adopt novel timing engine architecture,
such as super cell concept, all these make synthesis better than others.
More and more company decide to apply this tools for asic design.
The problem is it's limited capability....
we use pc in front end design,now are considering to adopt m@gma in our back end design flow,for we have not enough experieced asic design engineer,and m@gma will give us one to one consultant.
Could you tell more about "Gain-based Physical Synthesis" please? why this model
bring performance better than DC?? or any tutorial found in Internet ?
thanks.
