How To Use IC Validator Reference Methodology Flow for Physical Verification Automation
This video demonstrates how to execute different physical verification flows using Synopsys IC Validator Reference Methodology for faster signoff closure and ease-of-tool usage.
IC Validator PERC VUE Demo – Part 1
In part 1of this 7-part series we describe port and switch setup using the esd_setup.rs file and demonstrate how to set up a Synopsys IC Validator PERC run using the example script found in the Synopsys IC Validator installment directory /contrib/PERC/examples/esd_complete location.
IC Validator PERC VUE Demo – Part 2
In part 2 of this 7 part series we demonstrate how to view topology checking results in the esd_complete testcase in Synopsys IC Validator PERC VUE. This video will describe how to change the VUE panes to customize the VUE layout, grouping errors and selecting and viewing specific errors.
IC Validator PERC VUE Demo – Part 3
In part 3 of this 7 part series, we introduce Synopsys IC Validator Programmable Electrical Rules Checking (PERC) VUE and demonstrate how to use the Netlist Visualizer. This video will give an overview of debugging a topology-based run with Synopsys IC Validator PERC.
IC Validator PERC VUE Demo – Part 4
In part 4 of this 7-part series we will introduce viewing a current density violation using Synopsys IC Validator PERC VUE. This video will demonstrate viewing a current density violation in Synopsys IC Validator PERC VUE and how to use some of the features of the current density path heatmap GUI.
IC Validator PERC VUE Demo – Part 5
In part 5 of this 7-part series we will introduce viewing a point-to-point resistance violation using Synopsys IC Validator PERC VUE. This video will also demonstrate how to use the point-to-point resistance heatmap GUI provided by Synopsys IC Validator PERC VUE.
IC Validator PERC VUE Demo – Part 6
In part 6 of this 7-part series we will introduce how to use Synopsys LVS Explorer with IC Validator PERC to quickly identify potential issues caused by LVS extraction. This is an introduction that shows what commands can be used to run this and the VUE Short Finder during a PERC run.
IC Validator PERC VUE Demo – Part 7
In part 7 of this 7-part series we will introduce how to search and filter errors using the search pane in the Synopsys IC Validator PERC VUE. This feature is useful to narrow down or limit results in a large run.
IC Validator DRC in the Cloud: Demo
In this short demo video, you will learn how to use IC Validator on the cloud to run DRC checking, scaling for faster performance, and elastic CPU management to add and remove CPUs on the fly.
IC Validator Dynamic Resource Allocation For Efficient Compute Resource Usage
The IC Validator elastic CPU feature dynamically allocates resources during an IC Validator run. The host_elastic command automatically manages resources by adding/removing hosts as per run requirement and optimizes compute resource CPU utilization.
