MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,
June 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --
Highlights:
- Customers adopting Design Compiler NXT report significant
reduction in runtimes together with improvements in power,
performance and area (PPA)
- New advanced optimizations, such as concurrent clock and data
(CCD) optimization, are essential for meeting PPA goals at advanced
nodes
- Samsung Foundry customers benefit from an 8 to 10 percent
improvement in PPA that Design Compiler NXT delivered in the
qualification process with 2X faster throughput
Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) today announced that the
Synopsys Design Compiler® NXT synthesis solution has
been qualified by Samsung Foundry for its 5/4-nanometer FinFET
process technologies. Design Compiler NXT, an integral part of the
Synopsys Fusion Design Platform™ solution, is the
latest innovation in the Design Compiler family of RTL synthesis
products, extending the market-leading synthesis position of Design
Compiler Graphical. It has surpassed well over 100 customer
deployments since its release in March
2019.
Design Compiler NXT features fast, highly efficient optimization
engines and a new approach to distributed synthesis that does not
sacrifice quality-of-results (QoR). Customers adopting Design
Compiler NXT are reporting significant reduction in runtimes
together with improvements in power, performance and area (PPA).
In the 5/4nm FinFET processes, Samsung Foundry observed an 8
to 10 percent improvement in PPA with a 2X faster throughput with
Design Compiler NXT.
"As a leading provider of advanced-node foundry services, we
strive to provide our customers with production silicon that meets
or exceeds their power, performance and area goals," said
Sangyun Kim, vice president of
Design Technology Team at Samsung Electronics. "Through our
extensive collaboration with Synopsys, we are enabling our
customers to use best-in-class tools like Design Compiler NXT for
the Samsung Foundry 5/4nm FinFET processes so they can successfully
achieve their PPA targets."
Design Compiler NXT features new advanced optimizations, such as
power-driven mapping and structuring techniques and concurrent
clock and data (CCD) optimization, that are essential to meet PPA
goals at advanced nodes. To deliver tight correlation and superior
QoR at the most advanced process nodes, Design Compiler NXT shares
a common library and advanced placement technologies with the
Synopsys IC Compiler™ II place-and-route solution,
in addition to a new, highly accurate approach to resistance and
capacitance estimation and capabilities required for advanced
process nodes.
"Through our collaboration with Samsung Foundry, our mutual
customers will benefit from Design Compiler NXT's improved runtime,
QoR, and convergence for the Samsung Foundry's 5/4nm FinFET
processes," said Abhijeet
Chakraborty, vice president of engineering, Design Group at
Synopsys. "With more than 100 customer deployments completed, the
innovation in Design Compiler NXT has benefited both established
and emerging node customers by delivering unparalleled QoR gains
and accelerated time to results. We are committed to continuously
bringing best-in-class synthesis innovations to our Design Compiler
family of products."
