Designing Next-Generation ASICs for the Bitcoin Mining Market with Aprisa
Chain Reaction is a startup company that is engineering the future of disruptive blockchain and privacy technologies. Like many startups, we had to build our infrastructure from scratch, including our PnR flows. While the Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools have traditionally been pivotal in modern electronic design, their complexity has often deterred many design teams. Nonetheless, Siemens EDA's Aprisa digital implementation solution has transformed this landscape, by emphasizing simplicity and accessibility, alongside robust support. This session will cover our experience getting started with Aprisa, utilizing FlowGen to quickly build our flow, and how its intuitive nature and out-of-the-box capabilities make it a great fit for new teams like ours.
