MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,
April 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --
Highlights of this Announcement:
- Synopsys' Fusion Compiler RTL-to-GDSII solution's unique,
single data model-based infrastructure coupled with a single-shell,
hyper-converged optimization architecture unlocks optimal PPA
potential for advanced Arm-based CPU cores
- Tightly integrated synthesis within Fusion Compiler delivers
full-flow correlated design exploration, helping designers quickly
converge to their optimal SoC architecture
- Unmatched design capacity and throughput, coupled to advanced
hierarchical methodologies, accelerate big-core development time,
hastening time-to-market
Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) today announced that
Fusion Compiler™, the industry's only single data model
and golden signoff-enabled RTL-to-GDSll implementation solution,
has been deployed by Arm to enable optimal power, performance and
area (PPA) on next-generation Arm® Neoverse™
V1 and N2 infrastructure cores. The latest advances in the Fusion
Compiler solution extend the unique benefits of its single-shell,
hyper-convergent optimization architecture, enabling designers to
extract the maximum performance per watt on their Arm
Neoverse-based system-on-chip (SoC) designs targeting broad-market
applications including data center infrastructure, high-performance
computing, 5G and AI. The Synopsys and Arm reference methodology is
immediately available through QuickStart Implementation Kits for
these new cores providing an accelerated path to design closure and
bring-up.
"Hyperscale computing and cloud workloads demand a scalable,
performance-per-watt optimized architecture, and the new Arm
Neoverse platforms comprehensively answer that demand," said
Jeff Kehl, vice president of CPU
Engineering, Central Engineering at Arm. "Our collaboration with
Synopsys and the deployment of Fusion Compiler delivers accelerated
access to this highly optimized technology, enabling our mutual
customers to design and deploy market-shaping solutions into the
fast-expanding hyperscale space."
Synopsys' Fusion Compiler RTL-to-GDSII solution is uniquely
architected to enable design teams to achieve the optimal levels of
PPA in the most convergent manner to ensure the fastest and most
predictable time-to-results. It utilizes a highly scalable, unified
data model and comprises an analysis backbone that leverages
technology from the industry's golden-signoff analysis tools, all
within a single, integrated shell, enabling unique customized flows
for best quality of results (QoR) and signoff correlation. The
Fusion Compiler solution's interleaved optimization engines ensure
that critical PPA metrics are optimized efficiently and effectively
throughout the full implementation flow. Additionally, its unique
architecture is augmented by "machine learning everywhere"
technologies, enabling new levels of productivity and
QoR.
"Synopsys and Arm share a long-standing partnership with the
common goal of continuing to raise the bar and push the envelope
for lowest-power, high-performance computing," said Shankar
Krishnamoorthy, general manager of Digital Design Group at
Synopsys. "Arm's application of Total-Compute principles across
their entire IP portfolio shares many parallels with Synopsys'
total-integration focus for the Fusion Design Platform, both having
the goal of delivering the best end-to-end results and design
experience. This successful collaboration has comprehensively
delivered on our shared goal by enabling Fusion Compiler to achieve
new levels of PPA for the Neoverse V1 and N2 cores."
