MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,
June 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --
Highlights for this Announcement:
- Synopsys and Samsung's System LSI Business collaborate and
deploy key technology innovations to address design vulnerability
to variation
- PrimeShield improves design resilience to voltage variation and
enables power savings using voltage slack analysis
- Comprehensive design variation analysis minimizes timing
pessimism and design over-margins, delivering improved
performance
Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) today announced its
PrimeShield™ design robustness solution has been
deployed by Samsung's System LSI Business on its advanced process
technologies for next-generation designs spanning mobile, 5G and
automotive applications. PrimeShield, accelerated by machine
learning (ML) technology, improves design immunity to variation and
maximizes energy efficiency and design performance for customers
targeting high-growth applications. Part of the Synopsys Fusion
Design Platform™, PrimeShield provides comprehensive
voltage slack, design variation and global skew analysis to tackle
design vulnerability stemming from variations for power and
performance-sensitive designs.
"Samsung evaluated various solutions, and PrimeShield's
innovative technology successfully addresses these variation
challenges and delivers the quality-of-results advantages. Our
extensive collaboration with Synopsys allows us to leverage our
combined technologies to improve advanced-node design robustness
and achieve new levels of power and performance," said Ilryong Kim,
vice president of System LSI Design Technology at Samsung
Electronics
PrimeShield enables designers to maximize energy efficiency and
design performance. Accelerated by ML technology, PrimeShield
performs fast Monte Carlo path
simulation on critical timing paths 100-10,000X faster correlated
with PrimeSim™ HSPICE®. Its patented design
variation analysis with statistical modeling enables handling of
large-scale SoCs with billions of cells within minutes versus days
or weeks required by full statistical simulations.
"Robustness has become an essential design quality metric, in
addition to power, performance, and area, for our leading-edge
customers, such as Samsung," said Jacob
Avidan, senior vice president of engineering for the Digital
Design Group at Synopsys. "PrimeShield continues its technology
advancements with machine learning-driven robustness analysis and
optimization to improve design immunity to variation. As part of
the Fusion Design Platform, it effectively helps deliver superior
power and performance along with cost-effective designs for our
customers."
