ASIC with MAGMA

does anyone tell how far this tool is better than other tools like cadence any synopsys.

can anyone tell wht is best feature in magma

and why it is advantageous than others

how far it cope up with low power vlsi
 

Re: ASIC with MAGMA

Hi jayakumarjay:

The best feature of M@gma then other tools is the routing ability not the

synthesis.
 

Re: ASIC with MAGMA

Tool is not yet very stable!
Needs to use it too carefully.
Synthesis is really bad!!

It is synthesis:
Gain-based Physical Synthesis
This is why Magma performance better than DC+LTL

Magma is Place and Route tool, heah to head compete again Synopsys Astro

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
 

Re: ASIC with MAGMA

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.
 

ASIC with MAGMA

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....
 

ASIC with MAGMA

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.
 

Re: ASIC with MAGMA

can any one suggest any free tool for power analysis

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.

There is no such free tool. 100K dollars maybe
