That makes perfect sense, and is quite obvious once you think about it. I was trying to figure out what the point of a PSM would be, but it would be fine for a repetitive pattern.

With logic, there's little or no repetition in the chip and PSM is out to lunch.

I believe the issue is with computation efficiency.

Both benefit from PSM.

DRAM, because of repetitions is solve once use often.

Logic is solve, solve, solve ...

Lots of bips to determine the required features for each element on the pattern >>> costly.
