Place and Route System

Avant! Corporation Milkyway-based next-generation place and route system for very deep submicron (VDSM) cell-based IC designs. It is designed to address difficult VDSM design issues such as design complexity, area, timing, noise, and power. Apollo is designed to achieve optimum die size and aggressive performance targets with short turn-around time.

Features include:

• All-path timing and hierarchical placement and routing
  
• HotPlace -- Congestion-driven hierarchical placement
  
• Optimization technology tuned for VDSM
  
• Clock-tree synthesis and skew management
  
• VDSM constraint-driven detailed routing
  
• Built-in unified timing analyzer
  
• Engineering Change Order (ECO)
  
• High Performance Option
  
• Built-in extraction and physical verification
  
• Power- and rail-driven place and route capability (Mars-Rail)
