GloryBolt®

GloryBolt is a full-chip power/signal reliability signoff tool—the reliability-signoff core of chip signoff within the τ-Aware ToolFramework. Meeting industry golden standards, it supports ultra-large-scale designs with tens of billions of instances and provides signoff-level power, current-density, voltage-drop, electromigration (EM), and reliability analysis across the full chip.

Key Features

Static IR drop: Vector, vectorless, mix-mode, and back-annotated-power static voltage-drop analysis.
Dynamic IR drop: Vector, vectorless, mix-mode, and back-annotated-power dynamic voltage-drop analysis.
Power EM: Electromigration analysis on power networks in AVG mode.
Signal EM: Electromigration analysis on signal lines in AVG, PEAK, and RMS modes.
Grid Check: Equivalent-resistance and shortest-path-resistance analysis, 30× faster than traditional algorithms.
Chip-package analysis: Supports package analysis with package parasitic parameters.
Chip power model: Supports extraction of power equivalent models.
ESD: Supports ESD analysis in B2B, B2C, and other modes.
VCD checker: Reads DEF, SPEF, timing, and library files to analyze waveform quality.
Open/short analysis:Outputs reports of unconnected instances, wires, vias, and shorted segments.

Products Highlights

01

High-accuracy simulation
Dynamic IR-drop analysis supports GPL (GloryBolt Power Library), providing more accurate cell current waveforms than traditional library files and significantly improving dynamic IR-drop accuracy.

02

High-performance elastic architecture
The DMP scheme runs simulation tasks in parallel with performance scaling linearly with compute resources; physical partitioning ensures correct boundary conditions during matrix solving, enabling "true" 3D analysis.

03

Multi-dimensional heterogeneous-integration support
Supports 2.5D and 3D stacking in arbitrary configurations, as well as hybrid bonding, micro-bumps, and other bonding forms.

04

Silicon-validated at multiple process nodes
Rigorously silicon-validated at 28nm, 14nm, and more advanced nodes at leading Chinese foundries.

05

Full-chain EMIR analysis
Supports package-die co-simulation and Spice-format package netlists with RCLK and other parameters, as well as package netlists with PCB models, enabling die-package-PCB system-level EMIR analysis.

06

τ-Aware electro-thermal coupling loop
Based on the accurate multi-die temperature distributions from PhyBolt, it enables thermal-aware EM analysis, breaking through the traditional single-temperature assumption.

Applications

Application Scenarios

Power and signal reliability signoff for large-scale digital chips such as SoCs and AI chips. Supports multi-billion-instance scales under 2.5D/3D stacking in arbitrary configurations. Within the τ-Aware design flow, it performs thermal-aware EM analysis based on PhyBolt temperature data, delivering true reliability signoff for 2.5D/3DIC/chiplets.
