Physical Implementation 

Next-generation Physical Design System 

Physical implementation in the Galaxy™ Implementation Platform provides an industry-leading, production-proven solution for physical design called IC Compiler. IC Compiler is a comprehensive place and route system that includes Extended Physical Synthesis, signoff-driven closure with PrimeTime and StarRC™, advanced yield optimization, physical power, physical DFT and complete design planning for both flat and hierarchical design.
