Overview
Hercules™ PVS is a hierarchical, production proven physical verification (DRC/LVS) tool suite used by many of the world’s largest IDMs and is qualified by all the major foundries. For high performance, Hercules’ unique dual mode processing provides scalability and turnaround time for the largest designs. For ease of use, Hercules’ new GUI, VUE, enables fast debug and interactive debug of multiple shorts. Design productivity is enhanced by links with IC Compiler and Star-RCXT™.
- Benefits
- Perform DRC on any design overnight using four CPUs
- Obtain the fastest DRC performance using existing compute resources
- Integrate Hercules into your design flow using foundry developed, optimized and qualified rule files
- Enable accurate post-layout transistor analysis with Star-RCXT
- Use Hercules VUE to interactively debug multiple layout shorts from a single Hercules run
- Hercules Foundry and IP Vendor Support
Foundries and IP vendors support Hercules in the areas of rule file development, qualification and optimization. Our partners use Hercules in their own production environments for its accuracy and performance. A detailed listing of our partners can be found at:
