MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,
May 23, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --
Highlights:
- Synopsys Cloud Solution now supports Google Cloud Platform for
TSMC OIP VDE
- TSMC has certified that GCP meets both its stringent security
and performance requirements
- Synopsys and Google Cloud have helped eSilicon optimize its
implementation cloud-based flow
Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) today announced
that TSMC's Open Innovation Platform® Virtual Design
Environment (OIP VDE) with Synopsys tools is now certified and
available on the Google Cloud Platform (GCP). The combination of
these cloud technologies gives system-on-chip (SoC) teams access to
Synopsys' electronic design automation (EDA) tools, IP, and TSMC
design collateral—including process technology files, process
design kits (PDKs), and foundation IP, to be used on GCP.
"Building complex ASICs on TSMC's advanced technology demands a
highly efficient and scalable compute environment," said
Naidu Annamaneni, chief information
officer and vice president of global IT at eSilicon. "We've been
collaborating with Google Cloud for more than a year to optimize
our Synopsys-based implementation flow. We now run design tasks
routinely in the cloud, taking advantage of the latest hardware
technology, enhanced security, optimized networks, and high
availability. This is the future of ASIC design."
"Three capabilities made this solution successful: Data
locality, Custom Machine Types servers, and our world-class
security features," said Paul Nash
for Google Cloud. "Building with Google Cloud's global network,
customers have the option to keep the data center geographically
close to reduce latency. And Custom Machine Types help users meet
the tailored high-performance computing requirements of EDA
applications that ultimately allow one to fully utilize provisioned
CPUs and memory to diminish resource slack. Additionally, our
built-in multi-layered security delivers true defense in-depth with
inherent security features, such as Identity-Aware Proxy and
Encryption at Rest, by default and therefore provides the peace of
mind customers deserve."
"We are pleased to add Google as a member of our OIP Cloud
Alliance," said Suk Lee, TSMC senior
director, Design Infrastructure Marketing Division. "This was the
first project that all three companies collaborated on together.
We're confident that the certification of GCP on the Synopsys Cloud
Solution will lower the cloud adoption barriers for our mutual
customers."
During its certification process, TSMC took a 7-nanometer (nm)
reference design through Synopsys' suite of tools. The tests met
TSMC's stringent requirements for security, runtime, and quality of
results (QoR).
"Leading semiconductor and system companies rely on Synopsys
tools and IP to design their most advanced SoCs," said Deirdre Hanford, co-general manager, Synopsys
Design Group. "The Synopsys Cloud Solution, in conjunction with
TSMC and Google Cloud, provides a proven environment that is ready
for our customers to design on the cloud."
The Synopsys Cloud Solution provides optimized infrastructure
with enhanced security features, as well as services to enable IC
design and verification teams to take full advantage of the
benefits of the cloud. Built for the high-performance computing
requirements of EDA workloads, the Synopsys Cloud Solution supports
major public cloud providers, as well as Synopsys-hosted
infrastructures. For more information on the Synopsys Cloud
