  • Analog/Custom Design: Virtuosity: Automated Device Placement and Routing—Row-based Device Placement

    Sravasti
    Sravasti
    In this blog, I will focus on the automated placement step that is powered by an engine tailored specifically to meet the unique requirements and challenges of analog device-level layouts at advanced nodes. The device-level automatic placer lets you place devices and device groups in a constraint and grid compliant manner. You can use the interactive device placement options to place devices semi-automatically.

    If you missed the first part of this series, you can find it here.

    So: what does Green Hills Software propose we do?

    The issue of “solving security” is, at its core, impossible—security can never be 100% assured. What we can do is make it as difficult as possible for security holes to develop. This can be done in a couple ways; one is to make small code in small packs executed by a “safing plan”—having each individual…

     Autonomous vehicles are coming. In a statistic from the U.S. Department of Transportation, about 37,000 people died in car accidents in the United States in 2018. Having safe, fully automatic vehicles could drastically reduce that number—but the trick is figuring out how to make an autonomous vehicle safe. Internet-enabled systems in cars are more common than ever, and it’s unlikely that the use of them will slow or stop…
