Advancing IC Design with PrimeSim Continuum

Meet Sassine Ghazi, Synopsys COO, introducing the PrimeSim™ Continuum solution, unleashing the industry’s only proven GPU-accelerated SPICE simulation technology providing up to 10X runtime speedup with golden signoff accuracy.

Transcript:

Hello, it's Sassine. I'm super excited to be here today to share with you how Synopsys is continuing to think bold, think different, and think smarter. I would like to share how we're continuing to lead in disruptive innovation and customer collaboration.

I'm excited to announce PrimeSim Continuum, which is accelerating hyperconvergent IC design. PrimeSim Continuum is Synopsys' first unified circuit simulation workflow built on next-generation SPICE and FastSPICE architectures, speeding the creation of analog, RF, mixed-signal, custom digital, and memory designs.

In the past, using GPU technology for circuit simulation has been theorized, but we at Synopsys have turned it into reality. With multiyear heavy R&D investment, PrimeSim represents the industry's only proven GPU acceleration technology, providing our customers up to 10x speed improvement with golden sign-off accuracy, shortening the sign-off time from days to hours.

As part of this new solution, I'm happy to announce two new products. The first one is PrimeLib, which is our next-generation unified library characterization and validation solution to generate PrimeTime sign-off quality libraries for digital implementation and sign-off. It utilizes the embedded golden reference SPICE engines of PrimeSim Continuum to deliver maximum throughput for complex advanced node libraries.
Product two, PrimeWave, is a newly architected design environment delivering a seamless simulation experience around all PrimeSim engines and comprehensive analysis to improve productivity and ease of use.

PrimeSim Continuum is the cornerstone of our Custom Design Platform, accelerating the creation and sign-off of robust custom designs. With all that, we're ushering in an all-in-one solution to streamline custom design and library characterization with next-generation architecture and a new level of heterogeneous compute acceleration on GPU and CPU.

The solution's unrivaled value is evident by the rapid adoption of more key customers in memory, AI, automotive, and 5G applications.

In summary, we have something very exciting here. I would like to thank our R&D team for their passion for innovation and our customers for their great collaboration and trust in us. Stay tuned for more in our innovation pipeline.

Thank you.
