Verific’s HDL parser platform was used by Vorak Solutions, providers of high-quality development and quality assurance services for software, cloud and EDA products, to create a new synthesis flow for Rapid Silicon’s FPGA design suite. The result? A high-performance synthesis tool with 2X better performance
CASE STUDY:
Bespoke EDA Differentiates Silicon Chips
Coming full or almost full circle to a by-gone era of specialized CAD flows
For so long, designers used off-the-shelf electronic design automation (EDA) tools from major players, startups and technology companies somewhere in between the two to get their chips produced. It’s been a long-accepted practice that’s shifting to a strategy where the watchwords are proprietary, customized and differentiated.
It started as well-respected semiconductor companies began moving processor design in-house to realize better cost-effectiveness, eliminate the middleman and, most importantly, differentiate their products from their competitors by implementing a proprietary environment. They built portfolios of proprietary intellectual property (IP) customized and differentiated from their competitors, producing high-performing, power-efficient computer chips for autonomous driving, cloud, 5G, networking and other applications. Now comes “bespoke EDA,” a derivative of bespoke silicon and a hybrid strategy taking hold throughout the world of chip design.

Bespoke Silicon Requires Bespoke EDA
Michiel Ligthart on 10-26-2022
When I first heard the term ‘bespoke silicon,’ I had to get my dictionary out. Well versed in the silicon domain, I did not know what bespoke meant. It turns out to be a rather old-fashioned term for tailor made and seems to be very much British English. The word dates from 1583 and is the past participle of bespeak, according to the Oxford English Dictionary. American English by contrast more commonly uses the word custom. By now, custom silicon has been rebranded to bespoke silicon.
