From Chaos to Clarity: Mastering PBS MiM Flow Without the Land Disputes

Let's face it—when most of us hear "partition," we think of land disputes, family feuds, or that one cousin who insists on measuring every square inch of their share.

However, in the world of chip design, partition-based synthesis (PBS) is less about drama and more about design harmony.

Ever feel like you're stuck in a loop, optimizing the same logic block over and over—like déjà vu with a side of synthesis fatigue? Imagine you could optimize something once and just copy-paste the brilliance everywhere!

PBS MiM (multiple instantiated modules) breaks that cycle. Instead of re-optimizing each N module instance individually (and slowly losing your will to debug), it optimizes the logic once and smartly replicates the result across all instances. It's like telling your tool, "Learn it once, apply it everywhere." The result? Faster runtime, less redundancy!

In the fast-evolving world of SoC design, efficiency, scalability, and performance are non-negotiable. That's where the PBS MiM Flow in the Genus Synthesis Solution comes into play—empowering design teams to handle complex hierarchical designs easily and precisely.

To help you learn this magical and powerful methodology, we've curated a series of insightful videos now available on the ASK portal:

1. What Is PBS Multiple Instantiated Modules (MiM) Flow? (Video): Think of this as your "Partitioning 101"—minus the land lawyers. This video introduces the concept of PBS MiM flow, explaining how it helps you manage large, hierarchical designs without losing the synthesis quality. While partitioning land can lead to chaos, partitioning your design with PBS MiM actually reduces complexity and improves turnaround time. Who knew?

2. Understanding PBS Multiple Instantiated Modules (MiM) Flow in Genus Synthesis Solution (Video): Through this video, take a deeper dive into how the MiM flow is implemented within the Genus Synthesis Solution environment. The session walks you through how Genus handles MiM flow—like a pro chef slicing and dicing a complex recipe into manageable, reusable chunks. This video highlights how MiM facilitates improved reuse and quicker turnaround times in large-scale designs.

3. How to Control PBS MiM (Multiple Instantiated Modules) Flow in Genus Synthesis Solution (Video): Learn how to fine-tune your MiM flow and manage instantiations. This video provides practical guidance on controlling and customizing the MiM flow.

Whether you're an experienced synthesis engineer or just beginning to explore hierarchical design methodologies, these videos are a must-watch. Head over to the ASK portal before your next synthesis run and start exploring today!

Why You Should Watch These Videos?

 Accelerate your synthesis flow with smarter reuse and modularity.

 Say goodbye to repetitive grunt work—MiM handles it like a champ.

 Boost your TAT while keeping synthesis coherence intact.

So, next time someone says "partition," don't think of land. Think logic. Think PBS MiM!
