Corporate Vice President

" High sigma Monte Carlo analysis is critical to ensuring the robustness of standard cell libraries for today's demanding HPC, data center and mobile applications.The advanced variability analysis technology in PrimeSim Reliability Analysis enables 4-7 sigma characterization at a fraction of the runtime cost of brute-force Monte Carlo analysis, with tight correlation to PrimeSim HSPICE, and is deployed for library characterization within AMD. We look forward to collaborating with Synopsys to broaden usage of this technology for other applications." Read more
