Subject: Wall St. Asks "PhysOpt & Silicon Ensemble -- With Or Without PKS?"
Hi John,
Many of us Wall Street watchers read ESNUG because we're monitoring the
adoption of physical synthesis tools. From the many customer tape-out
stories we've read in ESNUG, it appears to those of us in the financial
community that Physical Compiler is catching on with designers. With
Cadence's SE-PKS now released, are designers seeing (or do they anticipate)
any advantage to using SE-PKS with Physical Compiler as compared to using
Physical Compiler and SE *without* PKS features? Are Physical Compiler
users interested in SE having PKS features?
I could ask Aart and Ray these questions, but I'd rather hear what the users
have to say about this.
