what is the differece between physical compiler and design compiler?

 

[cnspy]

pc can add some place and route information in you design.

hi
pc can do placment and synthesis. so it dont use wlm but use real wire model. pc can just to global route estimate but can not do route.

Hi all;


What is the different between physical compiler and synplicity Amplify ASIC?

Hi,
pc is a physical synthesis tool,say,considering of layout and real placement when running(but no routing,it utilize a global route to estimate timing)
dc is a logic synthesis tool using wire load model to estimate timing which maybe not so accurate.
Input for pc:gatelevel netlist
Input for dc:RTL netlist
Ouput for pc:still gatelevel netlist
Output for dc:gatelevel netlist
