Maintained by: Barth <Barth.pa>, Serlet <Serlet.pa>, Spreitzer <Spreitzer.pa>
Documentation: CoreDoc.tioga
Keywords: ChipNDale, Design Automation, Tools Integration
Commands: Core
Abstract: Core is a common set of interfaces for exchanging information between different DA tools. It is also used to capture the designer's intents at a high level.
CoreView: [DATools]<DATools6.1>Top>CoreView.df
Created by: Giordano Beretta
Documentation: CoreViewDoc.Tioga
Keywords: Core, Debugging, Design Automation Tools, Extraction, Illustration, Layout Visualization, Technology Independence, Viewers
Commands: CoreView
Abstract: CoreView visualizes the geometry in a Core data structure. Two options are available. With the first option a Core cell is recursively traversed and its geometry is painted into a viewer. The same non-linear RGB model as in Nectarine is used, hence the Cedar color map should be used. The second option simply creates an empty viewer, into which rectangles can be added incrementally. Viewers created with the second option are monochrome, every rectangle is labelled. This second option is intended for debugging packages based on Core.

Commands: Genista, Drc, DrcCdCMOSb, DrcCMOSb
Abstract: Genista is the Grandson of Spinifex. It is a hierarchical design rule checker that enumerates a Core design and uses the ChipNDale geometry with which it is decorated to verify separation and width design rules. Clients can define enumeration procedures for own classes.

Documentation: PlotGraphDoc.tioga
Keywords: Viewers, Imager, InterPress, oscilloscope, Rosemary.
Commands: PlotGraph
Abstract: PlotGraph is a display package which provides the ability to show a collection of axis (i.e. display frames) layed out bottom up. Each axis is the local reference for one or more graphs (i.e. visualization of a set of data). The graphs can be displayed as curves, or the values can be written along the horizontal direction either horizontally or vertically.

Spinifex24: [DATools]<DATools6.1>Top>Spinifex24.df
Created by: Shand & Beretta
Maintained by: Giordano Beretta <Beretta.PA>
Documentation: SXConversion24.tioga, Spinifex24Doc.Tioga, CMosRules.tioga
Keywords: Corner-Based DRC, Design Automation Tools, Design Rule Checking, Extraction, Layout Verification, Level-Order Conflict Resolution, Technology Independence
Commands: Spinifex, CMosASpinifex, CMosBSpinifex, NMosASpinifex
Abstract: Spinifex is a circuit extractor and design rule checker. It features a new approach to the processing of hierarchically defined VLSI artwork, called level-order conflict resolution. The approach has the attractive features of retaining the cell hierarchy specified by the designer, and being applicable to the task of combined circuit extraction and geometric rule checking. Spinifex operates on constrained layouts and provides incremental analysis. The DRC part is corner-based.
