MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,
April 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --
Highlights
- ZeBu provides scalable emulation capacity for full chip
emulation of Groq's multi-billion gate Tensor Streaming
Processor
- High-performance and reliability enable running many billions
of AI workload cycles to verify Groq's software-defined TSP
architecture
- ZeBu Cloud provides immediate access to large and flexible
emulation capacity
Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) today announced that Groq has
adopted the Synopsys ZeBu® Server 4 emulation solution
for its Tensor Streaming Processor (TSP) architecture development.
ZeBu Server 4 performance and capacity enabled first silicon
success of Groq's TSP architecture for artificial intelligence (AI)
and machine learning platforms. ZeBu also enabled optimization and
validation of Groq's TSP architecture prior to silicon, resulting
in unmatched performance for throughput and latency.
"As we redefine compute technology with our unique single-core
architecture, we are enabling the development of artificial
intelligence and machine learning platforms that offer twice the
inference performance while drastically reducing infrastructure
costs," said Adrian Mendes, chief
operating officer at Groq. "Synopsys ZeBu Server 4 Cloud solution
delivered the performance and capacity required to efficiently
analyze performance of our Tensor Streaming Processor, enabling us
to focus on silicon innovation."
ZeBu Server 4 is the industry's fastest emulation system
offering 2X higher performance over competitive solutions. With its
small footprint and one-tenth the power consumption compared to its
largest competitor, ZeBu enables software and verification teams to
efficiently scale their emulation farm to verify their most complex
designs. ZeBu performance enables software teams to run 100s of
billions of software cycles required to validate complex new
software stacks on multi-billion gate designs.
"We continue to see momentum at AI chip companies requiring
emulation solutions with high-performance, capacity, and
reliability to verify multi-billion gate chips," said Rajiv Maheshwary, vice president of marketing
and business development in the Verification Group at Synopsys.
"Groq's software-first mindset was a perfect match for ZeBu's high
performance to verify the fastest single-die AI chip available
today. We look forward to our continued collaboration with one of
the industry's leading AI chip companies."
