Layout automation using graphical user interface.

To improve productivity of code based layout generator, graphical interface for layout generator research was suggested. Without knowledge of coding skill, simple graphic interaction efficiently makes layout generator.

Layout automation using command line interface.

Conventional design method which heavily relies on designer’s capacity brings a lot of burden and increase development time, so layout generator was introduced to reduce cost.

Schematic optimization.

Power, performance, and area have a trade-off relationship, and it takes a lot of time to design the desired specifications. To release designer’s burden, schematic optimization research suggests the optimal design solution.
