MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,
May 21, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --
Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) today announced that its
DesignWare® ARC® EV6x Vision Processor IP
with Safety Enhancement Package (SEP) was named "Best Processor" by
the Embedded Vision Alliance as part of its annual Vision Products
of the Year Award program. The award selection was determined by an
independent panel of industry experts and recognizes Synopsys'
leadership and innovation in the processor IP market. Synopsys'
EV6x Processors with SEP are the industry's first ASIL D Ready
vision processor IP, combining a vision processor and deep learning
engine with hardware safety features, safety monitors, and lockstep
capabilities for safety-critical designs. These features enable
designers to achieve the ISO 26262 standard's most stringent level
of functional safety and fault coverage without significant impact
on power, performance, or area.
"Automotive semiconductor and OEM companies are incorporating
greater amounts of ADAS and self-driving functionality into
designs, requiring significant embedded vision performance with the
highest safety standards," said Jeff
Bier, founder of the Embedded Vision Alliance. "Synopsys is
enabling the next generation of applications for computer vision by
providing the ARC EV6x Vision Processor with SEP, which integrates
hardware safety features that enable SoC designers to meet these
performance requirements and more easily achieve ASIL D
certification."
The Synopsys DesignWare ARC EV6x Processors with SEP were
selected for the Best Processor award due to their heterogeneous
architecture that integrates scalar, vector DSP, and CNN execution
units with safety-critical features to meet the ASIL D requirements
of RADAR, LiDAR, and embedded vision automotive systems. These
features enable designers to meet the demanding vision requirements
of autonomous vehicles and the ISO 26262 standard functional safety
and fault coverage requirements for ASIL B, ASIL C, or ASIL D
certification. The EV6x Processors with SEP are supported by the
ARC MetaWare EV Development Toolkit for Safety, which enables
software developers to generate highly efficient, ISO
26262-compliant code for their automotive applications.
"Safety-critical ADAS functionality is one of the fastest
growing requirements in automotive systems, driving the need for
intelligent, deep learning vision processing," said John Koeter, vice president of marketing for IP
at Synopsys. "Receiving the Best Processor award for our EV6x
Vision Processor IP is a testament to Synopsys' continuous
commitment to providing designers with the IP and software tools
they need to accelerate ISO 26262 certification of their automotive
SoCs."
