Features & Benefits

Built on SOS Design Collaboration Platform	Efficient multi-site collaboration. Manage all project data from concept through tapeout in one integrated system.
Manage Libraries, Cells, Views	Work at the abstraction levels of libraries, cells, and views and let SOS viaLaker deal with the physical files that make up these design objects.
DM from Laker	Work within the familiar Laker design environment and access DM commands conveniently from the Design Manager GUI.
Auto Check-out	Cell views are automatically checked out when opened for edit making DM operations a seamless part of the workflow.
DM for Design Hierarchy	Easily perform DM operations on a design hierarchy. For example, hierarchically check-out or tag all the layout views of a higher level cell. Additionally, query what cells reference the selected cell to determine what higher level cells will be affected by changes to this cell.
Links to Smart Cache	Workareas with symbolic links to smart cache minimize disk space without compromising workarea stability. Ideal for projects with large teams and big libraries.
