Abstract: Complimentary Hot Buffet lunch (served 12:00-12:30pm)Synopsys, Ciranova, AWR, Silicon Canvas, and Silicon Navigator have created an industry initiative to promote interoperable PCell libraries (IPLs) on OpenAccess, and released a proof-of-concept interoperable PCell library as open-source. This library has been verified to work in tools from all participants. For the first time in semiconductor industry history, an integrated circuit designer will be able to use the same PCell libraries in tools from all five vendors, plus with OpenAccess-based tools from other vendors or universities, or developed in-house.At this workshop, you will learn how the library was created, explore how foundries and semiconductor vendors can develop their own IPLs, and learn the next steps for the IPL initiative. All interested companies and EDA vendors are invited to participate. Registration is free on a first-come, first-served basis at http://www.iplnow.com . Seating may not be available at the door.
