Aprisa, now Siemens EDA, addresses top-level hierarchical design- and block-level implementation for complex digital ICs. The detail-route-centric architecture and hierarchical database enable fast design closure and optimal quality in a competitive runtime. 

With the detail-route-centric architecture, efficient and frequent communication can occur between placement optimization, CTS optimization, and detail routing for improved quality-of-results, reduced iterations, and 2X faster design convergence than other solutions. We talk to Henry Y. Chang, now Sr. Director of Product Management at Siemens EDA, about this and his take on the industry.
