Pre-Silicon Prototyping

"The future of emulation and prototyping demands unprecedented performance, adaptability, and scalability. By integrating the AMD Versal Premium VP1902 adaptive SoC, with its industry-leading capacity*, performance, and debug capabilities, into Synopsys' EP-Ready platforms we're not only improving performance metrics, we're also transforming how engineering teams can validate and optimize their most ambitious new ASIC and SoC designs. Our longstanding partnership with Synopsys empowers design teams to tackle their most complex verification challenges, from AI/ML workloads to multi-die architectures, while dramatically accelerating time to market.”

“Synopsys is a key member of Arm Total Design, bringing critical tools and the advanced HAV capabilities to quickly and reliably validate solutions built on Arm Compute Subsystems (CSS). The new ZeBu-200 and HAPS-200 hardware platforms will also assist our mutual customers in integrating Arm CSS into their designs with improved turnaround times to meet the demanding requirements for complex data center infrastructure and automotive systems.”

"Extending the modular HAV capabilities to the ZeBu Server 5 platform provides a scalable emulation roadmap to address the complexity challenges of validating AMD’s largest next-generation devices.”

“SiFive has a very large and configurable portfolio of RISC-V CPU and AI core IP. We extensively test our IP using software workloads on HAPS, which means we can run trillions of cycles per day. As next generation CPUs and AI cores become larger and more complex, we need to efficiently map them onto larger and more powerful FPGAs. With its EP-Ready hardware HAPS-200 offers us an FPGA platform to do full system emulation for reference platforms that scale from small microcontrollers all the way to large scale data center designs.”

"AMD has used ZeBu EP solutions for fast emulation with software workloads for a number of years. The EP-ready Hardware concept has allowed us to switch on demand, as a design matures, to a prototyping use case and significantly increase workload throughput. ZeBu-200 and HAPS-200 EP-Ready systems will enable further performance improvements to accelerate design verification and software validation."

"Validating our multi-die design against real-world interfaces and scenarios with the high-performance HAPS prototyping platform enables us to optimize our design early on, with faster build times and more predictable results. Having a common hardware platform for different prototype models means we can shift the hardware to use on large or small models in real time, with reduced compute and storage resources and the ability to easily and quickly scale as our needs require."
