Abstract

The OpenAccess database provides a comprehensive open standard data model and robust implementation for IC design flows. This paper describes how it improves interoperability among applications in an EDA flow. It details how OA benefits developers of both EDA tools and flows. Finally, it outlines how OA is being used in the industry, at semiconductor design companies, EDA tool vendors, and universities.
