Cadence Design Systems, Inc.
System, method, and computer program product for determining computational requirements of a printed circuit board design

Abstract:

The present disclosure relates to electronic circuit design, and more specifically, to determining the computational requirements of fully synthesizing a printed circuit board and/or package. Embodiments may include receiving, using a processor, one or more PCB electronic design files and determining whether the PCB electronic design files include data required for a synthesis engine. If any data is missing, the method may include inferring one or more parameters using an inference engine and providing the one or more parameters to the synthesis engine, wherein the synthesis engine includes at least one of a placement, via assignment, routing, and metal pouring processes. The method may also include collecting process data from the placement, via assignment, routing, and metal pouring processes and training a machine learning system using the process data.
