Training Insights – Struggling with Synthesis to Achieve Best PPA Results?

28 Feb 2024 • 2 minute read

The ultimate goal of the Cadence Genus Synthesis Solution is very simple: deliver the best possible productivity and Power, Performance, and Area (PPA) during register-transfer-level (RTL) logic synthesis.

The real design synthesis journey is not always rosy; there might be some PPA issue or other!!

Is there any way to develop your expertise in the synthesis domain using the Genus Synthesis Solution?
How do you tackle and debug the problem scenarios you typically encounter in a synthesis flow?
How do you build the expertise to debug problems in synthesizing complex designs when optimizing for timing, area, and power?
How do you dive deeper and understand the synthesis results?

We have a solution in the form of comprehensive training!

Trainings

Fill the knowledge gap with the latest Genus trainings to learn how to use the synthesis flow to achieve better PPA and pass design to the place-and-route tools.

Genus Synthesis Solution with Stylus Common UI

Identify the features of Cadence Genus Synthesis Solution with Stylus Common UI and how Genus fills the SoC design productivity gap.

Build your concepts and learn techniques for constraining designs, run static timing analysis, evaluate datapath logic, run physical synthesis, optimize for low-power structures, analyze DFT (design for testability) constraints, and interface with other tools in the Genus Stylus Common UI.

The training guides you on how to run a complete synthesis flow on a design with the given specifications and optimize it for area, timing, and power.

Advanced Synthesis with Genus Stylus Common UI

Enhance your expertise with advanced synthesis techniques to improve and achieve the best PPA results and align with the place and route.

The training helps you debug problems in synthesizing complex designs when optimizing for timing, area, and power. There are example problem scenarios that you typically encounter in a synthesis flow and how you can debug them.

Labs

We ensure that your learning journey goes smoothly with hands-on labs covering various design scenarios.

The training and lab exercises are designed to help you achieve these goals. The steps to run the lab exercises are included as lab instructions in the interactive lab book.

Lab Videos

And now the exciting part is, to help you further, we have engaging videos on the training labs. You can refer to each lab module's instructions in demo format. This will help accelerate your tool ramp-up and more quickly perform the lab steps if stuck.

You might be a beginner in the synthesis world, but we can help you sail through it smoothly.

To embark on your journey as a synthesis expert, we have created a series of short channel lab videos on our Customer Support site.
