Finding problems before they become critical
Pinpoint taps into the any design flow to record essential design information to a central database without effecting flow runtime. The information is aggregated and organized which can then be accessed instantly by local or remote design teams using std browsers. Unique design analysis capabilities and metric overlays, without the use of flow tools, are available to determine next design steps or to track progress to design closure.
From the start of physical design, ENOVIA Pinpoint enables engineers and managers responsible for design closure to see and analyze the entire progress of the IC design and how metrics are trending toward their goals. ENOVIA Pinpoint takes the vast arrays of multi-dimensional data, analyzes them, and collects them into a simple visual dashboard with historical timelines to help you see where things might be trending off track. This trending view provides context and improves communication between engineers and managers.
With ENOVIA Pinpoint, you gain critical troubleshooting information to get your design closed and taped-out sooner. Data can include timing, power consumption, heat, and IR drop. All data resides on a central project server that you can access through links and a browser. Your design teams can communicate and collaborate better because consolidated views show results from different tasks and disciplines, improving shared understanding across design and verification.
