Customer Highlight

Using Advances in Synthesis Technology to Cut Implementation Time
Small-geometry effects can undermine design productivity and offset the integration benefits of SoCs unless these effects are accounted for during RTL synthesis. In this article, experts from IDT and Synopsys discuss how innovations in Design Compiler Graphical have minimized design iterations and cut implementation time at IDT.

Technology Update

The Past, Present and Future of DDR4 Memory Interfaces
Learn about the challenges designers face when making the step up to DDR4, and how Synopsys’ IP solutions will help them to transition to the latest JEDEC standard for commodity DRAM.

Accelerate Software Development with High-Performance FPGA-based Prototyping
Today’s ASIC and SoC design teams face challenges of short delivery schedules and high risk of chip defects. With the release of HAPS-70, a tightly integrated hardware plus software tools solution, Synopsys’ FPGA-based prototyping solution enables faster pre-silicon software development and better system-level validation from IP individual blocks to complete SoCs.

Complete Audio Solutions with ARC Processors
As consumers demand higher quality sound from their devices, the audio software that design teams use is becoming increasingly important. Learn how Synopsys’ SoundWave Audio Subsystem is enabling developers to benefit from certified code for audio processing and what this means for the end users.

Improving Compute Farm Efficiency for EDA
As chip complexity and schedule pressures grow, ensuring server farms have adequate CPU and memory resources for timely and successful job execution is critical. Learn how Adaptive Resource Optimizer (ARO) can assist design teams to make better use of all of their available compute resources.
