Every member you add to a team exponentially increases the number of relationships and the complexity of communication. This is why simply adding people rarely works without also identifying fundamental changes in tools and processes. Teams may need more people, but first and foremost, they need ways to improve team performance and communication, regardless of size and location.
This is the problem that we solve with ENOVIA Pinpoint.

Enable collaborative design for complex semiconductor projects:

Dassault Systèmes Silicon Thinking Semiconductor Collaborative Design process integrates deep design analytics from ENOVIA® Pinpoint® and design data management from ENOVIA Synchronicity® DesignSync® to enhance team productivity for IC design. This process experience is used today by over 120 IC development organizations around the world to boost design team productivity.

ENOVIA Synchronicity DesignSync :
ENOVIA Synchronicity DesignSync helps centralize IC design data management for large, distributed projects. Design data is captured directly from electronic design automation (EDA) tools into a hierarchical data structure, which then provides coordinated access for distributed design teams. This hierarchical structure directly supports an IP-block assembly approach for rapidly designing customer-specific ICs. It helps simplify and speed integration of design sub-elements into the overall IC design, facilitating design reuse.

ENOVIA Pinpoint :
ENOVIA Pinpoint provides managers with dashboards and graphical analytics to assess and accelerate design closure. ENOVIA Pinpoint enables analysis of diverse design, simulation, and testing data with historical timelines to help you see where projects might be diverging from planned milestones. Project managers and designers have a shared view from which to make joint project management decisions.
To help ensure that complex integrated designs succeed, the right foundation for collaborative design and information systems is essential. Dassault Systèmes Silicon Thinking Semiconductor Collaborative Design process:
• Scales across large, distributed teams
• Supports IP reuse and variant optimization
• Works with multiple application platforms and keeps designers “designing”
• Maximizes information access
• Accelerates project decision making through automated, advanced analytics, and dashboards.

ENOVIA Pinpoint provides your team with the information they need to get your design closed and taped-out  sooner. Rather than providing another tool that generates yet more data, we’ve focused ENOVIA Pinpoint on specific areas that help teams work better together. It provides actionable information to engineers and managers by extracting the critical metrics from existing tools at each step in the flow, and applying proprietary visualization techniques for relevance and context. All of the information resides on a central project server accessed through links and a browser, enabling communication and collaboration by team members. ENOVIA Pinpoint enables your entire team to work more efficiently to achieve your goals in complex designs.

Every manager knows that it’s the problems they see early that can be easily solved. These are not the ones that disrupt projects and careers. It’s the ones nobody saw coming until it was too late to do anything about without painful and time-consuming solutions. From the outset of physical design work, ENOVIA Pinpoint enables managers to see and analyze the entire progress of the design — to see how metrics are trending toward their goals. ENOVIA Pinpoint takes the mind boggling arrays of multi-dimensional data, analyzes and rolls them up in a simple visual dashboard with historical timelines to help you see where things might be trending off track. This provides context and improves communication between engineers and managers.

When the information is available, managers can use it to make better decisions. But you need high quality, reviewed information to make sure decisions are valid . This comes from the engineers actively using the tool to solve their problems. We’ve worked hard to make ENOVIA Pinpoint a tool for engineers as well as managers. ENOVIA Pinpoint provides sufficient detail for engineers to quickly find solutions to the problems in the design. We believe this is critical to any collaboration tool – providing fast, easy-to-access information that expedites and improves the decisions each engineer is making. ENOVIA Pinpoint provides visualization that helps engineers see the problem in a form they can act on, as well as communicate more accurately with their counterparts whether they are across the hallway or across the globe.

How expensive is a tapeout delay of one day? One week? How often do engineers work extra days to solve a problem that someone’s expertise could certainly help them solve, except for the fact that communicating about it and arranging effective collaboration is too difficult? Designers tell us this is one of the most frustrating challenges in today’s designs.

Dassault Systèmes has a well-established history in physical design tools and technology, and ENOVIA Pinpoint understands physical design data natively. It applies this technology to provide engineers with ways to see and communicate the issues they are working to solve. ENOVIA Pinpoint also enables engineers to see a broader context when looking at multiple experiments. They can see that even though timing was better for one experiment, the utilization won’t allow them to close that version, or the power became excessive.

Ultimately, ENOVIA Pinpoint helps individuals and teams make decisions that cannot be made in the absence of the information it provides. It brings focus to a myriad of factors that must be considered in design closure, and keeps teams current with design flow progress and on the same page. At the same time it helps managers to see and understand the status of all of the blocks in the design, based on objective information. This helps you get your designs done in a shorter time and with less risk.

Everyday, chip tapeouts are slipping schedule. The managers wonder why they didn’t see the issues sooner. The engineers grapple with communicating and resolving the issues. These are skilled teams of engineers working overtime to get things done. Closure always seems a few days away, but continues to elude them.

This is the reality of physical design today and it will only get more difficult as chip complexity and data size continues to grow. In the past, teams sought new tools to deal with the additional technology challenges of a new process node. But even with the latest tools to place the design faster, make better clock-trees, etc., the fundamental problem of organizing the globally distributed team to push through the unknowns remains as the biggest risk to chip success.

Every run through the physical design flow can generate hundreds of GBs of data. Data is not the problem; lack of information is. Extracting meaning from the vast pools of enterprise data is exceedingly complex, and impossible without tool support. What were the metrics of the design two weeks ago? How much change did that last ECO actually introduce into the netlist ? These questions point the way to critical improvements today, but finding the information that you need to answer them must be made more practical.

Every member you add to a team exponentially increases the number of relationships and the complexity of communication. This is why simply adding people rarely works without also identifying fundamental changes in tools and processes. Teams may need more people, but first and foremost, they need ways to improve team performance and communication, regardless of size and location.
This is the problem that we solve with Dassault Systemes ENOVIA Pinpoint.

Pinpoint for Semiconductor Collaborative Design

The globalization of semiconductor design is requiring design teams to reinvent the way that they collaborate.  Email, screenshots, and “throwing the design over the wall” are no longer effective means of communication between designers.  Intelligent ways of sharing design data are needed to facilitate collaboration amongst members of globally dispersed design teams. Designers need “Instant ON” access to the latest design data to make informed design decisions, without the need to invoke expensive design tools and wait for the latest version of a design to load.  RTL designers and physical designers need to be able to communicate effectively with each other without having to be experts in each other’s design domains or design tools.
