MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,
Oct. 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --
Highlights:
- Samsung Foundry certifies Synopsys' Fusion Design Platform for
its 5LPE process with EUV technology
- Solutions provide PPA gains and enable faster
time-to-market
- QuickStart Implementation Kit (QIK), including scripts and
reference guide, available today from Synopsys for Arm advanced
core adopters
Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) today announced that Synopsys,
Arm, and Samsung have actively collaborated on solutions to enable
early adoption of the next-generation Arm®-based
processor. Design-ready solutions are based on the artificial
intelligence (AI)-enhanced, cloud-ready Fusion Design
Platform™ from Synopsys, along with Arm
Artisan® Physical IP and POP™ IP for Samsung
Foundry's advanced 5LPE process. These solutions will accelerate
development of the next wave of semiconductor system-on-chips
(SoCs), including designs for high-performance computing (HPC),
automotive, 5G, and AI market segments. The collaboration will help
customers optimize power, performance, and area (PPA), and achieve
faster time-to-market while providing full-flow quality-of-results
(QoR) and time-to-results (TTR).
"To address the pace of innovation in our industry, close
collaboration between partners to enable mutual customers is
essential," said Paul Williamson,
senior vice president and general manager, Client Line of Business,
Arm. "The work we're doing with Samsung Foundry and Synopsys on
this advanced node enables further optimization to power and
performance for next-generation Arm-based devices."
"Synopsys' Fusion Design Platform and QuickStart Implementation
Kits provide a design-ready solution for next-generation Arm-based
processors," said Jaehong Park,
executive vice president of Foundry Design Platform Development at
Samsung Electronics. "This is a great example of how Samsung 5LPE
technology can be utilized to give designers a competitive
advantage in their high-performance CPU designs. Through our close
partnership with Arm and Synopsys, customers will now be able to
extract maximum value out of our 5-nanometer processes for design
applications targeted at high-performance and low-power
markets."
Synopsys' Fusion Design Platform has been leveraged for
optimized implementation of the new Arm core. The Fusion Design
Platform incorporates many Synopsys industry-leading products,
including:
- 7nm and below implementation in Fusion Compiler™
design, Design Compiler® graphical synthesis, and IC
Compiler™ II place-and-route system
- Higher performance with automatic density control and
timing-driven placement
- Lower power with full-flow concurrent clock and datapath (CCD)
optimization
- Signoff closure with PrimeTime® PBA-based ECO with
power recovery and exhaustive PBA along with StarRC™
simultaneous multi-corner extraction
- Early, accelerated design optimization for power integrity and
reliability with the RedHawk™ Analysis Fusion
signoff-driven flow within IC Compiler II
"Using the latest processors offers early customers the ability
to leverage new and innovative technologies for their
next-generation products, and to do so, customers need a trusted
overall solution to ensure quality-of-results and time-to-market,"
said Sassine Ghazi, general manager
of the Design Group at Synopsys. "This close collaboration among
industry leaders paves the way for better and easier
implementation, so designers are able to meet aggressive delivery
schedules and achieve their performance, power, and area
targets."
