Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) today announced that AMD is deploying Synopsys’ Fusion Compiler™ RTL-to-GDSII product for its full-flow, digital-design implementation. Based on an evaluation process, the Fusion Compiler product delivered industry-leading performance, power and area (PPA) metrics. This work has additionally resulted in an expanded collaboration between Synopsys and AMD to optimize Synopsys applications on AMD EPYC™ processors, targeted to deliver marked runtime acceleration benefits when deploying the Fusion Compiler RTL-to-GDSII product across servers powered by AMD EPYC processors. These advancements will be made available to all users in upcoming service packs.
“At AMD, we are committed to exceeding customer expectations by continually expanding our leadership position in high-performance computing,” said Mark Papermaster, Chief Technology Officer and Executive Vice President, Technology and Engineering at AMD. “Based on our evaluation results, Synopsys’ Fusion Compiler helped us meet our performance and time-to-market goals for our latest products. As a result, we plan to use Fusion Compiler for the development of our next-generation products.”
“Synopsys’ Fusion Compiler product is the successful result of a multi-year investment in a vision to build highly differentiated and transformative products for an increasingly demanding industry,” said Sassine Ghazi, general manager, Design Group at Synopsys. “It is very satisfying to see dozens of customers across the industry rapidly realize the benefits of the new product and extract previously untapped value in their digital designs. We are excited to work with market leaders like AMD who are benefiting from these leaps in innovation to deliver exciting products to their existing markets and creating the path to new ones.”
The Fusion Compiler product is uniquely architected to enable design teams to achieve the optimal levels of power, performance, and area (PPA) in the most convergent manner to ensure the fastest and most predictable time-to-results (TTR). Built using a single, highly-scalable data model, and based around an analysis backbone that leverages technology from the industry’s golden-signoff analysis tools, Fusion Compiler guarantees that these critical PPA metrics are optimized efficiently and effectively throughout the full RTL-to-GDSII design flow. Fusion Compiler delivers best-in-class PPA through a highly-leveraged optimization framework, resulting in a fully-unified physical synthesis and optimization methodology where industry-leading technologies can be deployed at any point throughout the flow for maximum effect. This groundbreaking approach delivers better timing, better total power, and improved area density compared to using a traditional combination of front- and back-end tools. Fusion Compiler offers Simply Better PPA™.
