Customers using Laker and Hercules PVS can now seamlessly navigate and view the design and electrical rule checks (DRC, ERC) and layout versus schematic (LVS) errors using Hercules VUE with the Laker environment, enabling faster time to manufacturing sign-off. As part of Hercules PVS, Hercules VUE serves as the cockpit for designers to debug physical verification errors.

Saleem Haider, senior director of product marketing for Synopsys, said, "The combination of Hercules and the Silicon Canvas Laker products will enable customers to more quickly review, navigate, and fix design violations found by Hercules in preparation for sign-off into manufacturing."

The current production releases of Laker and Hercules PVS support the functionality with the necessary, relevant product features required to deliver this integration today. These features are part of each standard product offering.
