[. . . ] CADENCE CHIP PLANNING SYSTEM DATASHEET CADENCE CHIP PLANNING SYSTEM In order to deliver increasingly complex chips on the same schedules, chip design projects must be able to take advantage of re-used IP--both internally and externally developed. [. . . ] The Cadence Chip Planning System provides a complete solution to rapidly explore, plan, and estimate chip design projects utilizing accurate models of a company's own IP, processes, and libraries. ecosystem at ChipEstimate. com, is hosted on the enterprise's server. The server can then be accesses by dispersed chip design teams (both internal and external). This approach enables simple-to-use early exploration of performance, power, and size utilizing enterprise-specific IP. Typical users include: technical team members (design architects, chip integrators, design leads, and engineering management), as well as business team members (field sales consultants, technical marketing, IC component procurement, RFQ responders, and executive management). It is useful for large fabless semiconductor companies, integrated device manufacturers (IDMs), ASIC vendors, and design service providers. digital, analog, and mixed-signal IP in diverse chip design projects - Control over data access--what IP and libraries, and what type of information (technical, economic)--is available to each user · ForASICvendorsanddesignservice providers - Field sales consultants can always access the latest data in order to deliver accurate project estimates and quotes quickly - Enable customers to access the technical data for your IP and library models for chip planning · Improvepredictabilityofsuccessby closing early on a specification that best balances size, power, and costs, using real IP, process, and architecture data · Estimatepoweratthearchitectural level and plan the block- and chiplevel power strategies, model different power modes, and generate a CPF file to drive downstream implementation BENEFITS · Forintegrateddevicemanufacturers (IDMs) and large fabless semiconductor companies - Facilitate use of your internally developed process libraries and enables dispersed users, both internal and external to the enterprise, to always have access to up-to-date estimation data. · CentralizedservertohostIP, library, and memory models CCPS Client (Management) · Web-basedIPcatalogmanagement system · Up-to-datemodelinformationavailable to internal and/or external users CCPS Client (Project team 1) · Accesstospecificmodels, technical specs, and economic data is controllable per user · GeneratereportsonoverallICdesigns · TrackIPusagebychipandbyuser CCPS IP Modeler · Customandtunableprocessmodelsfor highest degree of technical accuracy CCPS Server CCPS Client (Field sales consultants) · Tunableeconomicmodelsformore accurate business lifecycle planning · Canoptionallyincludethefull ChipEstimate. com ecosystem of IP Cadence Chip Planning System Complete infrastructure for chip planning and estimation using proprietary IP CADENCE CHIP PLANNING SYSTEM USER The Cadence Chip Planning System User client application enables diverse users such as design teams, technical marketing, field sales consultants, and management to access up-to-date model information from the CCPS Server in order to quickly and accurately estimate and plan chip design projects. · Estimatedesignsize · Estimatedesignpower(dynamicand leakage) · Comparesize, power, andperformance of multiple designs or design variations · Estimateperformanceachievabilityin specific manufacturing processes with specific IP components · Createandeditablockdiagramofthe design, use drag & drop for blocks, and drawing tools for connectivity · Editthefloorplanviewtoanalyze impact of movement and rotation on size, power, performance, and cost CCPS Client (Project team 2) · Centralizedtrackingofchipestimations and IP usage to better understand consumption patterns and customer needs · Reducedimplementationriskdelivered by early planning followed by a convergent flow--the architecture and library data is passed forward to drive implementation tools, which feed back implemented block data to refine accuracy of the model and drive in-project decisions · TheCadenceChipPlanningSystem client is easy to use for technical and non-technical users alike, enabling collaboration and communication between the business and technical teams starting with early planning and continuing throughout the course of the project FEATURES The Cadence Chip Planning System operates in a client-server model. The client is the CCPS User Estimation application on the project team's Windows or Linux desktop. [. . . ] All others are properties of their respective holders. [. . . ]
