Imagine checking a giant city map for tiny errors before building it; usually, this takes weeks using a few slow computers. This technology switches the heavy lifting to powerful graphics cards, which can handle thousands of tasks at once. It turns a process that takes months of computing time into something much faster and cheaper.
Chip verification is a bottleneck that takes weeks of computing time and consumes massive energy. Current CPU-based tools cannot keep up with the exponential growth of design rules in 7nm and 3nm chips.
A GPU-powered verification system consisting of HyperDRC (a high-performance checking engine) and HyperCloud (a SaaS delivery platform).
If you are a chip design house dealing with 3nm designs that require 400 CPU-months for verification — this project developed HyperPV that uses GPU acceleration to slash verification time and maximize production.
If you are an IC producer dealing with the risk of huge losses from undetected design errors — this project developed HyperDRC that accelerates the checking of over 20k rules for 7nm processes.
If you are an EDA software provider dealing with energy-inefficient CPU-based tools — this project developed a SaaS cloud platform that provides high-performance computing for physical verification.
It replaces expensive, energy-inefficient CPU farms (which can require 300+ CPUs) with GPU-powered acceleration, reducing the economic burden and energy consumption.
Yes, it is designed for modern complexities such as 7nm processes requiring over 20k rules and 100k operations.
Based on available project data, the solution is delivered as a SaaS cloud platform and includes a proprietary computational geometry library.
It acts as a Physical Verification (PV) engine, specifically for Design Rule Checking (DRC), accessible via a cloud platform.
The project period runs from 2023-01-02 to 2025-07-01.
The project is led by a single Romanian SME, AMSIMCEL SRL, with a 100% industry ratio. This lean structure suggests a highly focused commercial drive, utilizing a EUR 2,500,000 EU contribution to move from development to market.
