Meta: Multi-Die Partitioning and Floorplanning Prior to Netlist Using 3DIC Compiler

Featured Speakers:

  • Sivanandh Ramadass, Principal Engineer , Meta
  • Gireesh Vijayakumar, Silicon Technical Lead , Meta

 

In this Synopsys Webinar, Meta will present how an architecture‑driven methodology, originally presented at Synopsys Converge, enables early exploration and definition of complex 2.5D and 3D multi‑die designs before netlists or process details are available. Meta will share how architects use a lightweight, spreadsheet‑based interface combined with Synopsys 3DIC Compiler to rapidly evaluate die partitioning, floorplans, and die‑to‑die connectivity with early physical awareness. The session highlights how shifting critical decisions upstream helps reduce risk, avoid late‑stage rework, and accelerate convergence on manufacturable, high‑performance multi‑die designs.

What you'll learn:

  • How Meta explores multi-die designs without a netlist 
  • Why early partitioning and floorplanning are critical in 2.5D/3D designs 
  • How physical awareness reduces late-stage congestion, SIPI, and thermal risk 
  • How AI-driven analysis supports faster, data-driven architectural decisions
