Olympus-SoC Digital IC Design
Delivering Innovative Technologies for Fast & High-Quality Design Closure at Advanced Process Nodes
Mentor Graphics IC implementation solution, Olympus-SoC™, delivers innovative technologies to solve the power, performance, capacity, time-to-market, and variability challenges encountered at the leading-edge process nodes.
The Olympus-SoC netlist-to-GDSII system performs variation- and power-aware rapid feasibility, including placement, advanced clock tree synthesis, and optimization. It also includes litho-driven routing that addresses optical proximity correction (OPC), resolution enhancement technology (RET), and critical area analysis (CAA) early in the design cycle, ensuring faster timing closure for complex process rules.
Benefits of Olympus tools:
- Boost IC performance with advanced multi-corner, multi-mode (MCMM) optimization
- Reduce power consumption in clock trees with MCMM clock tree synthesis
- Improve yield with DFM-aware routing to address lithography issues in a timing context during implementation
- Speed time-to-market with fewer design iterations, scalable multi-threading, and sign-off quality closure
- Load and process designs of 100M gates or more with the industry's highest-capacity data structure
- Reduce costs through high yields and fast time-to-market

Manufacturing Variability Solutions
You’re creating chips with high functionality, multiple operating modes, low power consumption and extreme reliability—pushing the manufacturing process to the limit. But your advanced ICs are increasingly sensitive to the smallest manufacturing variations, and that affects both performance and yield. Manufacturing Variability Solutions
Low Power Solutions
Low Power designs give you the added boost you need to address power at every stage in the design flow – from ESL through functional verification all the way to physical implementation. Low Power Solutions
