Speed Software Development, Hardware Verification, and System Validation
Synopsys HAPS® prototyping solution dramatically accelerates software development, hardware verification, and system validation from individual IP blocks to processor subsystems to complete SoCs. HAPS is the de facto industry standard across the entire electronic supply chain from IP to semiconductor and system companies.
HAPS prototyping solution consists of proven, robust hardware platforms and HAPS prototyping software, which are optimized to deliver the best performance. Solutions are available to support desktop or enterprise configurations. HAPS prototyping software builds on 20+ years of FPGA synthesis expertise built with the Synopsys Synplify® FPGA synthesis product line.

Explore the Industry Leading Product Family
HAPS prototyping solution offers an integrated prototyping flow. HAPS-100 is the flagship product and targets the most complex designs with the highest performance requirements. HAPS is supported by an ecosystem of third-party vendors from the Synopsys HAPS Connect Program that provides accessory card interfaces for HAPS.
Prototyping Use Cases
HAPS prototyping solutions are used when the synthesizable RTL source code of the ASIC/system-on-chip design is available, allowing designers to develop software, verify SoC hardware, and enable system validation before the silicon is taped out. Hardware and software design teams can deploy HAPS systems for a variety of roles in the SoC development cycle.
RTL Regression
HAPS is ideal for IP RTL regressions for single-clock IPs. It allows fast execution of hardware and software. It is suitable for CPUs, GPUs, NPUs, and AI-accelerators.
Software Bring-up
HAPS can help validate low-level software drivers before software/hardware validation. Several debug capabilities allow developers to monitor and debug the execution software during the SoC system bring-up.
Software/Hardware Validation
HAPS prototyping systems are used when synthesizable RTL source code of the ASIC/system-on-chip design is available, allowing designers to develop software, verify SoC hardware, and enable system validation before the silicon is taped out.
Compliance/Certification
HAPS prototyping systems are capable of at-speed interface prototyping, due to the asynchronous capabilities of the HAPS ProtoCompiler. The HAPS IP Prototyping Kit offers at-speed prototyping of Synopsys IP, allowing customers to run interoperability testing as well as compliance and certification.
