Customer feedback from Applied Micro

Gates On the Fly is years ahead of any other tool in the market for massaging netlists, regardless what the reason is.

Here are just a few things this tool can do very intuitively.

• Ability to implement complicated ECOs within minutes
• Script mode to generate eco scripts / reports for industry standard tools
• Perform searches
• Forward and backward tracing of connectivity at a click of mouse buttons
• Expand/collapse/drag/drop circuits
• Provide a very correlative physical view of nets ( specially useful to implement ECOs on timing critical paths in a single go)

For those of silicon design community out there, this tool can give you phenomenal relief in your ability to get to tapeout without using compromised solutions just due to the awkwardness of the existing tools that handle netlist issues. If you took couple of hours to learn existing tools, you will learn GOF within a few minutes , that is how intuitive this tool comes across as.

We are glad such a tool exists and it is integral part of our design flow.
