Many of you already received communications about the move of the Cadence user community into cadence.com. And many of you have already joined, with over 4000 registrations in the first two weeks.

The new Cadence Community enhances the ability of Cadence users to connect and collaborate. In addition to moving the community into cadence.com -- enabling single sign-on for community, Sourcelink and Cadence events -- the new site is organized around nine technology segments, giving you easy access to product information, training, forums and blogs. Some of the new features include:
  • Ability to respond to posts via e-mail
  • Technology-specific blogs
  • Latest Web 2.0 social networking capabilities
  • Public profile options
  • Private messaging
  • Friends lists
Visit the new Cadence Community today at www.cadence.com/community and join the discussions!

Registration note: Due to the scope of the enhancements and the new SSO registration system, we were not able to migrate existing cdnusers.org member accounts. So new registrations are required, but this enables a broader set of functionality we think you'll enjoy.

Forum note: Under the guidance of forum moderators, we have taken the 20+ cdnusers.org forums and consolidated them into 11 forums on the new site. Posts have been brought over so you can leverage that posting history. CDNusers forums will be set to read only starting 7/30, and cdnusers.org will be redirected to the new community on 8/4.

Best regards,
Mike and Tom

Hi ssripada,

there is no bullet proof way for a tool to tell a RAM from other macro cells as far as I know. That being said, report gates will show a summary of area at the end where it splits things into sequential cells, combo cells, timing models and something or other. Timing models are usually the memories but can also include things like PLLs, and other cells without a function. It will also show cells of each library. One of the 2 ways you should be able to get what you need pretty easily. If this is not sufficient it should be easy to script something to add up there of specific macros.

hope this helps,
gh-

Hi ssripada,

it is technically possible, but you should use TCL regular expressions. Redirect the report to a TCL variable and perform regular expressions:

redirect -variable gate_wo_rams "report gates"

then

regsub {yourram\s+\S+\s+\S+} "" $gate_wo_rams gate_wo_rams

or similar...
