Distributed Multi-Scenario Analysis (DMSA)

The greaterdesign functionality and complexity afforded by today’s smallergeometries combined with accompanying physical phenomena has led toan explosion in the number of scenarios which need to be verified.Verification of a chip design requires analysis of many individualscenarios that represent different operational modes and voltage,temperature and process corners. Analyzing and managing theanalysis of these scenarios is simplified with PrimeTime’sDistributed Multi-Scenario Analysis (DMSA) capability. DMSA allowsdesigners to set up, distribute, run, and perform ECO fixingsimultaneously across multiple scenarios, thereby reducing overallturnaround time.
