Synopsys' Galaxy Design and Discovery Verification
Platforms Bring High-Performance; Semiconductor Design Capabilities to the Intel Itanium 2-based systems with Linux
Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq:SNPS) today announced the availability of key components of Synopsys' Galaxy(TM) Design and Discovery(TM) Verification Platforms on Intel(R) Itanium(R) 2-based systems running the 64-bit Linux operating system. Galaxy Design and Discovery Verification Platforms products running on Intel Itanium 2-based systems with Linux will help deliver the high performance and increased capacity engineers need to design and verify large, complex chip designs. Key products from Synopsys' Galaxy Design and Discovery Verification Platforms ported to Intel Itanium 2-based platforms include Design Compiler(R), Astro(TM), Physical Compiler(R), PrimeTime(R), the Milkyway(TM) design database, Star-RCXT(TM), VCS(TM), Vera(R), and NanoSim(TM).
"We are pleased to see Synopsys' synthesis, place and route, timing analysis, extraction, test and verification solutions on Intel Itanium(R) 2-based systems offering world-class 64-bit computing performance," said Guru Bhatia, director of IT Engineering Computing, Intel Corporation. "Itanium(R) 2-based systems post the performance necessary to enable EDA customers to get their designs to market more quickly and efficiently. That performance, coupled with Synopsys' suite of semiconductor design and verification tools, gives a technical advantage to the EDA engineering community to design complex silicon products."
"In order to achieve the capacity we require to verify our latest programmable logic devices, we are running VCS 7.1 on 64-bit Linux systems based on the Itanium 2 processor," said Rich Burnley, director of CAD at Xilinx. "We adopted VCS because of Synopsys' commitment to leading performance and capacity, which enables us to design and deliver state-of-the-art programmable logic products to customers faster."
"NVIDIA designs extremely large chips with 40-80 million transistors of synthesized logic and greater than 100 million transistors in memory," said Dan Smith, director of engineering at NVIDIA. "We demand 64-bit platforms for sophisticated design tools such as Physical Compiler, PrimeTime and TetraMAX(R) in Synopsys' Galaxy Design Platform. We have seen significant runtime improvements with Itanium 2-based systems that will help advance our complex graphics designs into the next generation."
Synopsys was the first major electronic design automation (EDA) software company to make its tools available on the Linux open source operating system and is committed to meeting its customers' needs for Linux and Intel Itanium 2-based solutions.
"Today's highly complex, leading-edge designs demand integrated, best-in-class EDA solutions running on advanced hardware," said Rich Goldman, vice president of Strategic Market Development at Synopsys, Inc. "The powerful combination of tools from Synopsys' Galaxy Design and Discovery Verification Platforms and Intel Itanium 2-based systems with 64-bit addressing capabilities will help provide the speed and capacity our mutual customers require to deliver the next-generation of system-on-chip designs."
