MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,
Dec. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) today
announced that Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS) has deployed
VCS® Fine-Grained Parallelism (FGP) technology running
on Arm®-based Graviton2 servers. The deployment of
Synopsys' functional verification solutions on the AWS cloud
platform enables accelerated development and verification of
breakthrough connectivity technology and SoCs.
AWS cloud enables users to take advantage of elastic
infrastructure resources to address the increasing capacity
requirements for semiconductor simulations. Running Synopsys' VCS
FGP technology on cloud, which is optimized to take advantage of
multi-core and many-core CPU platforms, provides AWS higher
simulation throughput. VCS' native integration with Synopsys
Verification IP and Verdi® advanced debug solutions
enables design teams to achieve higher productivity for accelerated
verification closure with superior hardware price/performance.
"AWS has been an early adopter of Synopsys' functional
verification solutions to accelerate the development of our
next-generation datacenter chips," said David Brown, Vice President, Amazon EC2, Amazon
Web Services, Inc. "Using Synopsys verification tools on AWS
Graviton2 allows us to perform full chip simulation at lower
cost."
"The pace of innovation happening in this next era of computing
underscores the importance of faster time-to-market for SoCs," said
Chris Bergey, SVP and GM,
Infrastructure Line of Business, Arm. "The deployment of Synopsys
functional verification solutions on AWS Graviton2 processors
demonstrate the growth of Arm in the cloud. We look forward to what
our mutual customers will bring to market using the growing set of
EDA tools now available on Arm."
"As SoC design complexity grows, so do the number of simulation
cycles they require, which increases the demand for more compute
power," said Sandeep Mehrotra, VP of
engineering in the Verification Group at Synopsys. "Our
verification technology collaboration enabled AWS to perform
full-chip simulation for their datacenter SoCs and find bugs
faster. With VCS optimized for multi-core and many-core Arm-based
CPU platforms to the cloud, users are able to move simulation
workloads to the cloud, enabling faster time-to-market."
