Cadence PEGASUS 26.10.000 Linux

Software Overview

---

Cadence PEGASUS provides physical verification capabilities for advanced-node IC signoff, with particular emphasis on design rule checking and large-scale verification workloads. Its cloud-ready architecture is designed to provide elastic computing resources for demanding full-chip verification tasks.
The system works with industry-standard Cadence design environments, including the Virtuoso custom and analog platform and the Innovus Implementation System. The provided release also includes components associated with Design Review and MaskCompose workflows.
Key Features

---

• Physical verification signoff for advanced-node integrated circuit designs.
• Design rule checking (DRC) for full-chip verification workflows.
• Cloud-ready architecture for scalable computing environments.
• CPU-based processing designed for large verification workloads.
• Integration with Cadence Virtuoso custom and analog design workflows.
• Integration with the Cadence Innovus Implementation System.
• Support for mixed-signal verification flows.
• Design Review capabilities for inspecting and modifying layout data.
• MaskCompose functionality for mask data and process-layer workflows.
• Support for DRC, LVS, PERC, fill, antenna, density, extraction, and related physical verification operations.

Why Choose Cadence PEGASUS

---

Cadence PEGASUS is designed for semiconductor teams that need to perform physical verification on increasingly complex integrated circuit designs. Its processing architecture targets large verification jobs that can require substantial computational resources.
The integration with Cadence design platforms makes Pegasus suitable for organizations that already use Cadence-based custom, analog, implementation, or mixed-signal design workflows and need physical verification within the same design environment.
