Oasys-RTL
Oasys-RTL addresses the need for higher capacity, faster runtimes, improved QoR, and physical awareness by optimizing at a higher level of abstraction and using integrated floorplanning and placement capabilities. Oasys-RTL provides better quality results by enabling physical accuracy, floorplanning, and fast optimization iterations to get to design closure on time. The power-aware synthesis capabilities include support for multi-threshold libraries, automatic clock gating, and UPF-based multi-VDD flow. During synthesis, Oasys-RTL inserts all the appropriate level shifters, isolation cells, and retention registers depending on the power intent as defined in the UPF. Oasys-RTL can create a floorplan directly from the design RTL using design dataflow and timing, power, area, and congestion constraints. It considers regions, fences, blockages, and other physical guidance using the advanced floorplan editing tools and automatically places macros, pins, and pads.

Siemens Aprisa
Designing at advanced process nodes requires a new place-and-route paradigm to manage the increasing complexity. Aprisa is a detail-route-centric physical design platform for the modern SoC. Aprisa digital implementation is an RTL2GDSII solution that offers complete synthesis and place-and-route functionality for top-level hierarchical designs and block-level implementation. It's tape-out quality correlation with signoff tools, both for STA timing and DRC, reduces design closure and ensures optimal performance, power, and area (PPA). Aprisa delivers optimal PPA out-of-the-box. This helps physical designers reduce the effort at each step of the place-and-route flow and achieve faster time-to-market Unified architecture and common analysis engines ensure excellent timing and DRC correlation between implementation steps and with signoff tools, greatly reducing the number of flow iterations and ECOs.
