ADVISORY/ Pyxis Technology: Targeting 45nm Design Closure at the 2008
Design Automation Conference
AUSTIN, Texas -- May 30 and June 4, 2008 -- New game, new rules, new technology
-- that’s how Pyxis Technology describes design closure at 45nm. At the
Design Automation Conference (DAC) in Anaheim, California, from June 9th through
12th, Pyxis will be demonstrating how its correct-by-construction, high-performance
integrated circuit (IC) routing software helps designers like those on Microsoft’s
XBOX team close designs faster, with fewer design rule violations, faster IC
performance, and lower power.
Pyxis activities at DAC include:
-
Demonstrations of NexusRoute, a next generation, high performance,
yield-aware IC router for:
-
45nm Design Closure: High level overview of the NexusRoute architecture
and features, giving quantitative examples of how customers have used the tool
to improve IC routability, performance, power and predicted yield. Highlights
key architectural features required for 45nm design closure and contrasts these
with existing router architectures, followed by a discussion on integration of
the router into existing design flows.
-
Structured Custom Design and Chip Finishing: High level overview showing
NexusRoute’s use of the OpenAccess in-memory model to seamlessly
integrate with other tool environments. Highlights the integration of
NexusRoute with the Laker chip editing tool from SpringSoft and shows
examples of the power of a next-generation 45nm IC router in a full-custom
layout environment.

About Pyxis
Pyxis Technology delivers software and services to address the problems that
chip designers face in the design closure of advanced high performance integrated
circuits (ICs) and systems on a chip (SoCs). Pyxis NexusRoute is a high
performance, yield-driven IC router, architected for process technologies of
45nm and below. Based on open, industry standard interfaces and easily integrated
into existing design flows, NexusRoute simultaneously optimizes runtime,
design rule correctness, timing, power and yield. Using NexusRoute,
customers have seen as much as a 4X improvement in design closure turnaround
time. Pyxis Professional Services help customers maximize design closure performance,
yield and manufacturability within their existing design environments. For more
