MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. and
YOKOHAMA, Japan, Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Synopsys,
Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) and Socionext, Inc. today announced
their collaboration to expand Socionext's use of Synopsys' broad
DesignWare® IP to include Synopsys' HBM2E IP for maximum
memory throughput in AI and high-performance computing (HPC)
applications. Socionext selected Synopsys' HBM2E IP, operating at
3.6 Gbps, to meet the stringent capacity, power, and compute
performance requirements of its innovative AI engine and
accelerator system-on-chip (SoC). The Synopsys IP provides
efficient heterogeneous integration with the shortest 2.5D
interposer package routes.
"As a global leader in SoC solutions with differentiated
functionalities, we face very tight delivery deadlines," said
Yutaka Hayashi, vice president of
Automotive & Industrial Business Group at Socionext. "By
leveraging Synopsys' DesignWare HBM2E IP and integrated full-system
multi-die design platform, Socionext can deliver world-class
high-performance, high-capacity and power-efficient SoCs on the
5-nanometer FinFET process to the market. We are also collaborating
with Synopsys on using their next-generation DesignWare IP
solutions including HBM3."
With an aggregated bandwidth of 460 gigabytes per second, the
DesignWare HBM2E PHY IP delivers the
required massive compute performance of SoCs in advanced FinFET
processes. The HBM2E IP is part of Synopsys' comprehensive memory
interface IP solution that includes DDR5/4/3/2 and LPDDR5/4//4X/3/2
IP, which have been validated in hundreds of designs and shipped in
millions of SoCs.
"As the leading memory interface IP provider, Synopsys provides
innovative companies, like Socionext, with a highly competitive
HBM2/2E IP solution that addresses the aggressive power and memory
bandwidth requirements of advanced high-performance computing
SoCs," said John Koeter, senior vice
president of marketing and strategy for IP at Synopsys. "Synopsys'
silicon-proven DesignWare HBM2/2E IP, with over 25 design wins and
customers in volume production, enables designers to confidently
integrate the IP into their SoCs with less risk and achieve a
faster path to silicon success."
