Ushering a New Era of Agentic AI SoC Design Closure–Delivering Unparalleled PPA and Productivity

Cadence Cerebrus® AI Studio is a breakthrough, agentic AI design platform for system-on-chip (SoC) design implementation. It is the industry’s first multi-block, multi-user chip design tool that optimizes extremely complex, multi-billion instance, hierarchical SoC designs using the most advanced AI technology and intelligent workflows. It empowers a single engineer to design multiple blocks, achieving massive parallelization and enabling more µm2 of SoC implementation per engineer. This tool accelerates chip delivery time by 5X to 10X while achieving superior performance, power, and area (PPA) targets and enhances productivity exponentially.

The latest advancement in technology demands highly sophisticated semiconductor chips with intricate functionalities, high-performance compute, low power, and reduced die size while using the most advanced process nodes. Cadence Cerebrus AI Studio is a state-of-the-art tool that can directly address these requirements.

Transforming Semiconductor Design with Cadence Cerebrus AI Studio

Cadence Cerebrus AI Studio offers a multitude of features that position businesses as leaders in semiconductor innovation, ready to meet evolving technological demands.

Live Customizable Multi-User Design Dashboard

It offers a powerful live customizable design dashboard, which is a shared workspace used by an entire team of engineers working on different designs of a project or across projects. The dashboard can be used to run, manage, and visualize a fleet of Cerebrus runs. Using advanced data analytics, untapped design insights are harnessed to analyze data, identify bottlenecks, and debug designs. Team leads can get a complete summary of a project’s current status from a single pane. Engineers can use this space to generate comparative charts, graphs, and summaries to meet design objectives.

Agentic AI Multi-Block Design Closure

It also supports an infrastructure for multiple engineers to optimize multiple blocks concurrently, bringing in massive parallelization. While traditional design flows required a team of engineers for block-level design closure, with Cadence Cerebrus AI Studio, a single engineer is now empowered to implement multiple blocks simultaneously by leveraging smart workflows. AI agents harness the EDA data generated across designs and various projects to curate models that can be applied to current designs, enabling faster design closure and better PPA.

Automated Hierarchical Design Optimization

Cadence Cerebrus AI Studio an also enable agentic AI hierarchical design optimization. For a SoC or a subsystem design, the biggest challenge is creating ideal partitions. This iterative process requires multiple rounds of feedback from top to block and vice versa. Cadence Cerebrus AI Studio applies AI agents to autonomously partition the design, handle top-block co-optimization, integrate the winning recipes for the most optimal top-level design, and use Cadence Certus Closure Solution for chip-level signoff closure. Multiple data handoffs across various netlist drops and between hierarchies are handled very efficiently and all the design changes are embraced with live updates by using agentic AI transfer learning features.
