Areas of Collaboration

Optimized Implementation

Synopsys Fusion QIKs accelerate end-to-end chip design and achieve the best PPA for the IMG CXT GPU. Imagination uses QIKs to achieve target performance on 5nm process technology, using seven partitions and a hierarchical flow leveraging Synopsys Fusion Compiler™ RTL-to-GDSII and Synopsys Design Space Optimization (DSO.ai™) solutions. DSO.ai™ autonomously explores multiple design spaces to enhance PPA metrics. Synopsys RTL Architect can also be implemented into the design flow to identify bottlenecks in the RTL source code. The fast, multi-dimensional implementation prediction engine anticipates the PPA and congestion impact of RTL changes before RTL handoff.
