Optical proximity correction
software runs faster
Synopsys has significantly improved the performance of its Proteus optical proximity correction software through its distributed processing capability on the Intel Xeon architecture
Synopsys has significantly improved the performance of its Proteus optical proximity correction (OPC) software through its distributed processing capability on the Intel Xeon architecture. With demonstrated near-linear scalability when distributed on more than 1000 Intel Xeon processors, Proteus can now reduce the time to obtain OPC results from days to hours on advanced 90 and 65nm ICs.
