Some recent comments on SRAM compilers, and processes they support ... I see 180nm mentioned.

Claims "Thanks to its innovative architecture, the density of RAMs has improved by up to 30% and dynamic power consumption savings can reach up to 50%."
Sounds like it could be worth asking OnSemi if they have used this compiler on any process, and if it matches the claims.
A 30% density gain on a RAM intensive part like P2, is a worthwhile gain. Means either more RAM, or more logic.
It may be this is tuned solely for Power, and not Speed, but good IP should be able to select either ?
