What Astrus does
Astrus makes AI software that automates the physical layout of analog and mixed-signal circuits, a step the company says can consume roughly 30 percent of the design effort on advanced chips like Nvidia's H100 GPU. It focuses first on high-speed SERDES interconnects used in data centre chips, working directly with analog chip designers to refine its automated layouts. Astrus is backed by Khosla Ventures and Juniper Networks co-founder Pradeep Sindhu, and operates out of Toronto and Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario.
