MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,
Dec. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --
Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) today announced that
AImotive has adopted Synopsys VCS® simulation and
Verdi® debug, part of
the Verification Continuum® Platform, to help verify its
innovative aiWare™ hardware IP for Neural Network (NN)
acceleration for automated driving applications.
AImotive is building a comprehensive portfolio of complementary
hardware and software technologies to enable automotive OEMs and
Tier1s to rapidly develop and deploy high volume production
solutions. AImotive's products include aiDrive™, a modular
automated driving software stack and aiSim™, a comprehensive
simulation and design validation environment built around its
proprietary physics-accurate rendering engine. The aiWare hardware
IP is a highly optimized neural network acceleration hardware IP
particularly targeting camera-centric AI solutions.
The smooth integration of Synopsys' VCS, Verdi and VC SpyGlass™ RTL static signoff
tools enabled AImotive to significantly improve the coverage of its
regression testing and overall team productivity, and meet
aggressive goals for verification of a range of scalable
implementations of aiWare to meet a growing number of automated
driving challenges set by their customers and partners.
"AImotive's products are developed to the most demanding
standards such as ISO 26262 to solve some of the toughest automated
driving challenges to the highest levels of robustness under all
operating conditions," said Marton
Feher, SVP hardware engineering at AImotive. "The
integration of VCS with Verdi
debug delivered superior performance and improved regression
turn-around time, enabling us to significantly improve overall
productivity as well as accelerate new product development
projects. The ability to natively compile in VCS and leverage
unified debug in Verdi, alongside
industry-wide recognition of VC SpyGlass for validating our RTL for
multiple foundries and customers made Synopsys' functional
verification solutions an excellent choice for our
needs."
In addition to enabling a unified debug platform across all
Synopsys verification technologies, Synopsys' Verdi debug solution provides advanced
coverage analysis and verification planning to link tests and
checks to industry standard specifications like ISO 26262.
Synopsys' next-generation VC SpyGlass platform allows early
identification of critical design issues including design reuse
compliance checks such as STARC and OpenMORE to enforce a
consistent style throughout the design, ease the integration and
promote design reuse.
"Synopsys is addressing the need for faster time-to-market with
our leading portfolio of verification software technologies," said
Rajiv Maheshwary, VP of marketing
and business development in the Verification Group at Synopsys. "We
are pleased to support AImotive as it enables more rapid deployment
of advanced automated driving technology."
