SUNNYVALE, Calif., Feb. 21,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Synopsys,
Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) today announced its AI-driven digital
and analog design flows are certified by Intel Foundry for the
Intel 18A process. In addition, through integration of high-quality
Synopsys Foundation IP and Interface IP tuned for Intel
Foundry technology, mutual customers can confidently design
and deliver differentiated chips using advanced Intel Foundry
technologies. With its certified EDA flows, multi-die system
solution, and comprehensive IP portfolio in development for the
Intel 18A process, Synopsys is helping designers accelerate the
development of advanced high-performance designs. Today's
announcement is being made at the Intel Foundry Direct Connect
2024 event, where Aart de Geus,
Synopsys executive chair and founder, will present "Catalyzing
SysMoore Together."
"The era of pervasive intelligence is driving significant
silicon proliferation in the semiconductor industry, requiring
strong ecosystem collaboration to help ensure customer success,"
said Shankar Krishnamoorthy, GM of the Synopsys EDA Group. "The
AI-driven certified flows combined with the development of a broad
Synopsys IP portfolio on the Intel 18A process, marks a significant
milestone in our collaboration with Intel to help our mutual
customers bring to life innovative devices, whether on the smallest
processes or at angstrom scale."
"Our longstanding, strategic collaboration with Synopsys
provides designers with access to industry-leading certified EDA
flows and IP that deliver the best performance, power, and area for
the Intel 18A technology," said Rahul Goyal, Vice President
and General Manager, Product and Design Ecosystem, Intel Foundry.
"This milestone in our collaboration enables mutual customers to
boost productivity with EDA flows, achieve the highest utilization,
and accelerate development of their advanced designs on the Intel
Foundry process."
Power and Performance Gains with Backside
Routing
Synopsys is working closely with Intel Foundry to enhance its EDA
digital and analog design flows to help accelerate quality of
results and time to results, while optimizing Synopsys IP and EDA
flows for power and area on the Intel 18A process to take advantage
of Intel's PowerVIA backside routing and RibbonFET
transistors. The Intel 18A process technology is optimized
using Synopsys design technology co-optimization tools to provide
enhanced power, performance, and area. In addition, Synopsys Analog
QuickStart Kit (QSK) and Synopsys Custom Compiler process design
kit (PDK) for Intel 18A deliver proven methodologies for higher
quality design and fast turnaround times.
To realize the advantages of the Intel 18A process and to bring
differentiated products to market, Intel Foundry customers can
integrate a comprehensive Synopsys IP portfolio built for
Intel advanced process technologies. Synopsys will enable a range
of its industry-leading interface and foundation IP to accelerate
design execution and time to market for SoCs.
Synopsys and Intel Foundry are also driving multi-die systems
forward with Synopsys 3DIC Compiler platform and Intel's advanced
foundry processes. The platform addresses Intel Foundry chip
designers' most complex multi-die system needs and provides
automated routing for UCIe interfaces, while allowing seamless
co-design of Intel's EMIB packaging technology. The Synopsys
Multi-Die System Solution enables early architecture
exploration, rapid software development and system validation,
efficient die and package co-design, robust and secure die-to-die
connectivity, and enhanced manufacturing and reliability.
