What is GDSII Optimization? Bantam optimizes GDSII by reading a GDSII Stream file and outputting a GDSII Stream file that is functionally equivalent, yet smaller. Typically, Bantam reduces the size of GDSII Stream files by 50% to 98%.
Bantam is used by some of the largest IC design firms in North America, Asia and Europe to speed their design flow and significantly reduce the time to market of new devices.
Benefits of Bantam Optimization Drastically reduces the footprint of GDSII Stream files
Reduces the time required to copy or transmit GDSII Stream files
Reduces the time required to read GDSII Stream files into IC design and verification tools
Significantly improves performance of some downstream applications
Speeds viewing and plotting of IC design files
Bantam Features REDUCES FILE SIZE - Bantam restructures an input GDSII Stream file so that less space is
required to store the file.
ALWAYS ENSURES CORRECT OUTPUT - Bantam includes an internal checksum comparison to ensure 100% correctness and accuracy of its output data.
MAINTAINS FUNCTION EQUIVALENCY - Bantam writes a GDSII Stream file that is functionally identical to the input GDSII Stream file. The output file is point-for-point equivalent to the input file.
SPEED AND CAPACITY - Bantam can restructure the largest of GDSII Stream files in minutes.
VALID GDSII STREAM - Bantam reads and writes GDSII Stream version 6.0.
