    Is there any Open Source utility to cache PCells ?

    Ciranova made a contribution to Si2 for a basic PCell caching
    mechanism that you can integrate with a tool building on OpenAccess.
    This is indeed open source and should be compatible with DM4, although
    you need access to SI2 to download.

    Ciranova PCell Xtreme is a licensed product that can be used with any
    OpenAccess tool to cache any type of PCells, including Skill (in/out
    of Virtuoso and out of Virtuoso and into other OA tools - Calibre,
    Synopsys Custom Designer, Laker etc)

    Not Open Source, but Virtuoso has an "express pcells" plugin which allows cached
    pcells to be used in OA applications. See the documentation for IC612/3.

    Hi Andrew,
    I have been using Express Pcells but it holds up the
    license for the entire session and this is why I am looking for a tool
    that would'nt use Opus License.
