MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,
Oct. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --
Highlights:
- DesignWare CXL IP supports AMBA CXS protocol to enable seamless
integration with scalable Arm Neoverse Coherent Mesh Network
- The Synopsys CXL IP, operating at 32GT/s with 512-bit data
width, supports all required CXL protocols and device types to meet
specific application requirements
- The industry-first CXL IP complete solution encompasses
configurable controller, 32GT/s PHYs in a range of FinFET
processes, and verification IP
Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) today announced that its
DesignWare® CXL Controller IP now supports the
AMBA® CXS protocol, enabling an efficient interface with
the latest, highly scalable Arm® Neoverse™ Coherent Mesh
Network to provide an optimized multichip IP stack for a range of
high-performance computing, datacenter, and networking
system-on-chip (SoCs).
The DesignWare CXL Controller supports all the required CXL
protocol types (.cache, .io, and .mem) and allows mixing multiple
types within a single clock-cycle transfer for design flexibility.
Support for CXS enables the extremely low-latency, high-bandwidth
DesignWare CXL IP to extend its capabilities across Arm-based SoCs
requiring cache coherency and fast chip-to-chip interconnects.
"The exponential growth in data creation, consumption, and
processing is driving more cloud workloads to utilize domain
specific acceleration, which demands a fast, efficient multichip
interconnect to quickly move data," said Dermot O'Driscoll, vice president of Product
Management, Infrastructure Line of Business, Arm. "Our successful
collaboration with Synopsys enables an optimized, ready-to-go CXL
IP stack to meet the diverse multichip latency and bandwidth needs
for a range of Arm-based server host and end-point solutions."
"High-performance computing applications such as AI
accelerators, networking, and hyperscale data centers require
coherent interfaces that enable high-speed, efficient communication
between on- and off-chip protocols," said John Koeter, senior vice president of marketing
and strategy for IP at Synopsys. "By providing support for the AMBA
CXS protocol, designers can easily interface Synopsys' DesignWare
CXL IP to the Arm Coherent Mesh Network platform to meet the
high-bandwidth requirements of their data-intensive Arm-based SoC
designs."
