Mentor Graphics Calibre 2009.3_15 Linux Release! Calibre® is the overwhelming market share leader and the industry standard for IC physical verification, due to the outstanding performance, accuracy and reliability of Calibre products. Over the last two years, Calibre nmDRC™ has reduced average DRC runtime by a factor of five, while Calibre\’s innovative Hyperscaling and MTFlex™ technologies have cut memory requirements in half. Calibre nmDRC also reduced overall cycle time with incremental DRC, which allows designers to make DRC runs in parallel. As DRC violations are reported, designers can immediately fix and recheck just the affected areas, while the initial DRC run continues. To handle complex and multi-variate, multi-dimensional checks that are not adequately addressed by traditional design rules, Calibre nmDRC\’s...

FineSim Pro defines a new paradigm in full-chip circuit-level simulation, enabling the simulation of the most challenging analog/mixed-signal SoCs with SPICE accuracy and unprecedented performance. Combination of accuracy and performance in a single executable allows large, mixed-signal designs to be simulated with very accurate SPICE and fast-SPICE solving techniques. This provides complete control of speed- versus-accuracy tradeoffs throughout the entire design. Multi-CPU simulation enabled through Magma’s Native Parallel Technology TM delivers silicon-accurate results for very large complex systems (5M transistors and more) such as wireless systems on chip (SoCs) and full-chip memory designs. Electrically Exact Models TM (E2M) dramatically improve simulation performance by orders of magnitude with virtually no loss in accuracy compared to fast SPICE Typically, analog and digital...
