KyuPy - Processing VLSI Circuits With Ease

KyuPy is a python package for high-performance processing and analysis of non-hierarchical VLSI designs. Its purpose is to provide a rapid prototyping platform to aid and accelerate research in the fields of VLSI test, diagnosis and reliability. KyuPy is freely available under the MIT license.

Main Features

• Partial lark-parsers for common files used with synthesized designs: bench, gate-level verilog, standard delay format (SDF), standard test interface language (STIL)
• Bit-parallel gate-level 2-, 4-, and 8-valued logic simulation
• GPU-accelerated high-throughput gate-level timing simulation
• High-performance through the use of numpy and numba

Getting Started

KyuPy requires python 3.6+ and the following packages:

• lark-parser
• numpy
• numba (required only for GPU/CUDA support)

GPU/CUDA support may require some additional setup. If CUDA or numba is not available, the package will automatically fall back to pure python execution.

This repository contains tests that can be run with:

pytest

Usage examples to get familiar with the API can be found in the Jupyter Notebook UsageExamples.ipynb.
