Calibre® nmDRC is the solution to the physical verification challenges of nanometer design. Calibre nmDRC, with the new Hyperscaling processing architecture, produces best-in-class DRC run times with scalability to 100 CPUs. Full integration to popular layout environments and direct read capability allow designers to invoke DRC and debug results seamlessly within their design flow. Calibre nmDRC leverages the Calibre nm Platform to provide model-based verification and analysis, and visualization to guide the designer to the errors that truly impact yield. It is integrated with an innovative incremental verification and dynamic results viewing/debugging environment to further reduce DRC cycle time and dramatically improve designer productivity.
