Verify the 16 by 16 bit RTM design in Proton using iverilog, leveraging open-source RTL from GitHub to validate clocked inputs, signals, and verification benches.
Explore cell and automated pin placement concepts in Proton via Graywolf, starting from floor planning to normal placement and IO file-driven auto placement, with optimization across partitions.
Explore live q&a on cell and pin placement using Proton, balancing local and global density, padding, and soft grouping to minimize blockages and improve data flow.
Analyze placement and clock tree synthesis in Proton, and demo flylines, showcasing how buffers, clock nets, and decoupling capacitors manage RC delay and timing.
Explore post-layout timing analysis steps using Proton, generate timing reports, measure timing, and discuss enabling new features with command options and open formats for enhanced design insight.
Explore timing eco strategies in physical design with proton, balancing condition based and timing based design to optimize insertion delay, setup, and hold across nets.
Explore assignment details and upcoming webinars for the proton-based physical design, and learn power analysis, large power grid design, and verification within open-source licensing contexts.
Be it in any field - Change is inevitable. Let’s change the way we used to do Physical design. This time, no need to install tools on laptop, no licenses needed, no hidden costs, just your gmail login id and you are ready to design your first chip online. Find it hard to believe?
I welcome you to my first “Physical Design” Webinar that happened on 20th Jan 2018 at 9am IST. This is 3-hour action-packed webinar with myself being the host and below 3 people from industry
Rajeev Srivastava -
Rajeev is technical advisor to webchip and also was one of the developers of Proton while at Silverline Inc. Currently he is a Sr Principal Physical Design Engineer at NXP. While at Silverline, he was a expert user of Proton and has worked with customers to use proton successfully on many chip design projects. He will be helping with the webinar today and show how to run the tools and also answer proton related questions.
Aditya Pratap -
Aditya is the main developer and chief architect of Webchip.He was also one of the main developers of open source EDA tool proton that we will see in action today in our webinar.
Sanjeev Gupta -
Sanjeev is an VLSI & System design expert and also chief of operations at webchip.
Finally one word - 'LIVE' - pin placement, verification and routing on WEB. All with zero license fee using industry grade EDA tool. That's innovation. This is something which has never happened before.
Learn from the best, and expect a shift in your professional thinking.
I will see you all in webinar and happy learning
