MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,
Oct. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --
Highlights:
- Synopsys and Samsung have collaborated on the enablement of
Fusion Design Platform to unleash the benefits of Samsung's most
advanced process nodes
- Certified flow provides designers a complete suite of
industry-leading digital implementation and signoff solutions for
timing and extraction
- Synopsys Fusion Design Platform accelerates the delivery of
high-performance compute designs with the industry's best quality
of results and turnaround time
Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) today announced its
collaboration with Samsung Foundry to deliver a new certified
digital implementation, timing and physical signoff reference flow
accelerating high-performance compute (HPC) designs using the
Synopsys Fusion Design Platform™. With the certified
reference flow, designers can achieve accelerated productivity
through automated features and integrations in the platform,
providing a clear path to meet their design objectives on Samsung's
advanced process nodes.
As part of the platform, Design Compiler® NXT, IC
Compiler™ II and Fusion Compiler™ solutions
have been enhanced with new innovative features allowing mutual
customers to leverage Samsung advance process technologies and
achieve the best power, performance and area (PPA) metrics while
delivering a faster turnaround time on their designs. By leveraging
the fusion of StarRC™ signoff extraction and
PrimeTime® signoff delay calculation engine in the
platform, the HPC reference flow delivers predictable and
convergent design closure with a zero-margin flow and maximizes PPA
gains available through Samsung's advanced process technology.
"There is an increasing demand from our mutual customers for a
certified reference flow for HPC designs on our advance processes,"
said Sangyun Kim, vice president of Foundry Design
Technology Team at Samsung Electronics. "Our extensive
collaboration with Synopsys has enabled the digital implementation
and signoff reference flow for HPCs utilizing the latest
technologies from the Fusion Design Platform to deliver predictable
and quality flows for our advanced process nodes."
Next-generation HPC designs have aggressive clock target
frequencies, stringent power requirements, high utilization goals
and require support for the most advanced process geometries.
Synopsys' Fusion Design Platform offers innovative features to
address these challenges such as concurrent clock and data
optimization, signoff and exhaustive path-based timing analysis,
multi-source clock tree synthesis, hash via support, freeform macro
placement, and Machine Learning technologies for the next wave of
HPC designs. The HPC reference flow provides a comprehensive
methodology and includes a full set of documented flows and design
examples validated by Samsung Foundry and Synopsys.
"Our early collaboration with Samsung Foundry has enabled our
mutual customers to leverage our advanced technologies and
solutions' on Samsung's most advanced process technologies,"
said Charles Matar, senior vice president of System Solutions
and Ecosystem Enablement, Design Group at Synopsys. "The advanced
capabilities within the Synopsys Fusion Design Platform deliver the
quality of results and time-to-result advantages that will enable
our mutual customers to differentiate their high-performance
compute designs."
Synopsys experts will discuss new features within the reference
flow for HPC design optimized for Samsung Foundry's advanced
processes at the upcoming at the upcoming Samsung Advanced Foundry
Ecosystem (SAFE) Forum on October 28. For more information
