Increasing IP And SoC Debug Efficiency 10X With Intelligent Waveform Reuse
By Synopsys - 11 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

Design and verification reuse lies at the very heart of every modern chip development effort. A system on chip (SoC) project with billions of gates cannot possibly be completed in reasonable time without leveraging blocks from prior projects and commercial intellectual property (IP) offerings. These reused blocks are themselves challenging to develop since they are as large and complex as previ... » read more

Raising The Bar With The Next Generation Of AI For Chip Design
By Synopsys - 22 Nov, 2021 - Comments: 0

The semiconductor industry is enjoying renewed growth despite chip shortages plaguing everything from cars to kitchen appliances. But while the chips themselves continue to get faster and smarter, the chip design process itself hasn’t changed that much in 20+ years. It typically takes 2-3 years to design a chip with a large engineering team and tens or hundreds of millions of dollars to get a... » read more

PPA(V): Performance-Per-Watt Optimization With Variable Operating Voltage
By Synopsys - 10 Nov, 2021 - Comments: 0

Performance-per-watt has emerged as one of the highest priorities in design quality, leading to a shift in technology focus and design power optimization methodologies. Variable operating voltage possess high potential in optimizing performance-per-watt results but requires a signoff accurate and efficient methodology to explore. Synopsys Fusion Design Platform, uniquely built on a singular RTL... » read more

Co-Packaged Optics And The Evolution Of Switch/Optical Interconnects In Data Centers
By Synopsys - 27 Oct, 2021 - Comments: 0

Driven by a need to reduce power and increase bandwidth density in data center network switches and other devices, the data networking industry is moving toward adoption of co-packaged optics (CPO). This paper provides a brief overview of the history of copper and optical interconnects, the limitations of existing interconnect solutions, and the future of co-packaged optics, including the benef... » read more

Accelerating Verification Shift Left With Intelligent Coverage Optimization
By Synopsys - 12 Oct, 2021 - Comments: 0

Functional verification dominates semiconductor development, consuming the largest percentage of project time and resources. Team members look at the rate of design bug discovery, consider anecdotal information on the types of bugs that escaped to silicon in previous projects, and use their best judgment based on their years of experience to determine when to tape out. Above all, they look at v... » read more
