The Cadence Cerebrus Intelligent Chip Explorer is a revolutionary, machine learning-driven, automated approach to chip design flow optimization. Block engineers specify the design goals, and Cadence Cerebrus will intelligently optimize the Cadence digital full flow to meet the power, performance, and area (PPA) goals in a completely automated way. Use Cerebrus Apps to optimize some aspects of the design as well.
Running a full RTL to GDSII flow, Cadence Cerebrus has a lot of possibilities and combinations of different tool settings to explore.
Using the knowledge from previous runs, combined with on-the-fly analysis within the flow, Cadence Cerebrus can assess many settings combinations and fine-tune the flow accordingly in a very efficient manner.
As technology advances, projects become bigger and way more complex than before. The ability of a single engineer to run simultaneously a large number of blocks in a traditional way is limited. Cadence Cerebrus allows a single engineer to work more efficiently and implement more blocks, while maintaining the same or even better PPA, using compute power.
Being such a revolutionary tool, integrating Cerebrus into your existing flow is surprisingly simple as it can wrap around any existing flow scripts.
Please join me in this course, to learn about the features and basics of Cadence Cerebrus Intelligent Chip Explorer.
We’ll walk through the tool setting stage, explain what is a primitive and how it effects our run, talk about the cost function and the run goals.
We’ll understand the concept of scenarios, learn how to analyze the results of the different runs, and compare them.
In addition, we’ll talk about basic debug rules and methods to analyze failures.

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) for patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes is associated with improved clinical, behavioral, and psychosocial patient health outcomes and is part of the American Diabetes Association’s Standards of Medical Care. CGM prescription often takes place in endocrinology practices, yet 50% of adults with type 1 diabetes and 90% of all people with type 2 diabetes receive their diabetes care in primary care settings. This study examined primary care clinicians’ perceptions of barriers and resources needed to support CGM use in primary care.
This qualitative study used semistructured interviews with primary care clinicians to understand barriers to CGM and resources needed to prescribe. Participants were recruited through practice-based research networks. Rapid qualitative analysis was used to summarize themes from interview findings.
We conducted interviews with 55 primary care clinicians across 21 states. Participants described CGM benefits for patients with varying levels of diabetes self-management and engagement. Major barriers to prescribing included lack of insurance coverage for CGM costs to patients, and time constraints. Participants identified resources needed to foster CGM prescribing, for example, clinician education, support staff, and EHR compatibility.
Primary care clinicians face several challenges to prescribing CGM, but they are interested in learning more to help them offer it to their patients. This study reinforces the ongoing need for improved clinician education on CGM technology and continued expansion of insurance coverage for people with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
Screening rates for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) remain low despite guidelines by both the CDC and USPSTF recommending that all adolescents and adults be screened at least once. The aim of this quality improvement study was to increase HIV screening among eligible patients.
This quality improvement study assessed the impact of interventions to increase HIV screening in an outpatient population at a large urban safety-net hospital. Outcomes were compared from the preintervention (December 2020 to November 2021) to postintervention years (December 2021 to November 2022). Stepwise electronic alerts to prompt HIV screening paired with provider financial incentives were implemented. The proportion of eligible individuals screened for HIV were compared after intervention implementation.
Average monthly HIV screening increased from 506 ± 97 to 2484 ± 663 between the pre- and postintervention periods, correlating to a 5.1-fold increase in screening (7.8% to 39.8%, P < .01). Increases were seen across all ages, and those aged 55 to 64 and 65+ had the highest relative increase in screening at 7.5 and 9.3-fold, respectively (P < .01). Screening rates increased for Hispanics (7.9% preintervention vs 43.6% postintervention, P < .01). In the pre- and postintervention periods, 41 patients with new HIV diagnoses were identified (13 preintervention and 28 postintervention) and 85.4% were linked to care within 30 days.
Stepwise interventions targeted at primary care clinicians are an effective way to increase HIV screening rates, particularly in older demographics. Earlier HIV diagnosis coupled with linkage to care is an important strategy in ending the HIV epidemic.
End-to-end RNA-sequencing methods that capture 5'-sequence content without cumbersome library manipulations are of great interest, particularly for analysis of long RNAs. While template-switching methods have been developed for RNA sequencing by distributive short-read RTs, such as the MMLV RTs used in SMART-Seq methods, they have not been adapted to leverage the power of ultraprocessive RTs, such as those derived from group II introns. To facilitate this transition, we dissected the individual processes that guide the enzymatic specificity and efficiency of the multistep template-switching reaction carried out by RTs, in this case, by MarathonRT. Remarkably, this is the first study of its kind, for any RT. First, we characterized the nucleotide specificity of nontemplated addition (NTA) reaction that occurs when the RT extends past the RNA 5'-terminus. We then evaluated the binding specificity of specialized template-switching oligonucleotides, optimizing their sequences and chemical properties to guide efficient template-switching reaction. Having dissected and optimized these individual steps, we then unified them into a procedure for performing RNA sequencing with MarathonRT enzymes, using a well-characterized RNA reference set. The resulting reads span a six-log range in transcript concentration and accurately represent the input RNA identities in both length and composition. We also performed RNA-seq from total human RNA and poly(A)-enriched RNA, with short- and long-read sequencing demonstrating that MarathonRT enhances the discovery of unseen RNA molecules by conventional RT. Altogether, we have generated a new pipeline for rapid, accurate sequencing of complex RNA libraries containing mixtures of long RNA transcripts.
ABSTRACTIntroduction:Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) remains the leading cause of maternal mortality. A new clinical intervention (E-MOTIVE) holds the potential to improve early PPH detection and management. We aimed to develop and pilot implementation strategies to support uptake of this intervention in Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, and Tanzania.Methods:Implementation strategy development: We triangulated findings from qualitative interviews, surveys and a qualitative evidence synthesis to identify current PPH care practices and influences on future intervention implementation. We mapped influences using implementation science frameworks to identify candidate implementation strategies before presenting these at stakeholder consultation and design workshops to discuss feasibility, acceptability, and local adaptations. Piloting: The intervention and implementation strategies were piloted in 12 health facilities (3 per country) over 3 months. Interviews (n=58), case report forms (n=1,269), and direct observations (18 vaginal births, 7 PPHs) were used to assess feasibility, acceptability, and fidelity.Results:Implementation strategy development: Key influences included shortages of drugs, supplies, and staff, limited in-service training, and perceived benefits of the intervention (e.g., more accurate PPH detection and reduced PPH mortality). Proposed implementation strategies included a PPH trolley, on-site simulation-based training, champions, and audit and feedback. Country-specific adaptations included merging the E-MOTIVE intervention with national maternal health trainings, adapting local PPH protocols, and PPH trollies depending on staff needs. Piloting: Intervention and implementation strategy fidelity differed within and across countries. Calibrated drapes resulted in earlier and more accurate PPH detection but were not consistently used at the start. Implementation strategies were feasible to deliver; however, some instances of limited use were observed (e.g., PPH trolley and skills practice after training).Conclusion:Systematic intervention development, piloting, and process evaluation helped identify initial challenges related to intervention fidelity, which were addressed ahead of a larger-scale effectiveness evaluation. This has helped maximize the internal validity of the trial.
