DI-GoodTimes
Open-Source Timing for Modern Microelectronics
DI-GoodTimes develops open-source timing tools for modern microelectronics. Precise timing analysis is indispensable for the reliability and performance of digital chips.
Objectives and Approach
The project develops an open-source tool that analyzes and optimizes timing behavior of integrated circuits and predicts timing requirements for chip designers in real time. Machine learning improves efficiency analysis, while simulation tools validate accuracy. The goal is simultaneous optimization of chip area, power consumption, and timing behavior.
Innovations and Perspectives
The tool closes gaps in accuracy, usability, and accessibility of timing analysis in circuit design. Early provision of timing information combined with circuit optimization improves design quality and reduces development time. The tool is released with comprehensive documentation and continuously co-developed with the community.
