Synopsys has announced a brand new UCIe IP solution operating at up to 40 Gbps per pin and the company says it’s targeted directly at the computing needs of data centers layered with ever-more sophisticated AI applications.

Synopsys is all in on generative AI, and it’s putting its money where its mouth is by creating a Center for Generative AI within the company. Being that I had no idea what this meant, how it would work, or what it would mean to the industry, I invited the Center’s Executive Director, Stelios Diamantidis, to join me on this week’s Embedded Executives podcast. He laid out what the Center looks like today, and what it will mean to the entire industry going forward.

Sunnyvale, California and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Synopsys has announced it will obtain Ansys and combine its semiconductor electronic design automation (EDA) with Ansys' broad simulation and analysis portfolio. "The megatrends of AI, silicon proliferation and software-defined systems are requiring more compute performance and efficiency in the face of growing, systemic complexity. Bringing together Synopsys' industry-leading EDA solutions with Ansys' world-class simulation and analysis capabilities will enable us to deliver a holistic, powerful and seamlessly integrated silicon to systems approach to innovation to help maximize the capabilities of technology R&D teams across a broad range of industries," said Sassine Ghazi, President and CEO of Synopsys.

Sunnyvale, California. Synopsys, Inc is expanding its ARC Processor IP portfolio with its RISC-V ARC-V Processor IP. The series will consists of low to high performance options to fit the intended application allowing the flexibility designers need. “RISC-V processors are gaining in popularity as more designers look for greater design flexibility and more options,” said John Koeter, senior vice president of product management and strategy for IP at Synopsys.

On this episode of Embedded Insiders, Randy Fish, director of product line management for the Silicon Lifecycle Management family at Synopsys, highlights how automotive engineers can benefit from the SLM on-chip monitoring and analysis process.

Sunnyvale, California. Synopsys, Inc. is extending its Synopsys.ai full-stack EDA suite with a complete AI-driven data analytics scale for all stages of integrated circuit (IC) chip design. The solution delivers the ability to create multi-domain data collection and analyzation through AI-driven protocols and methods allowing chip engineers a workflow that is optimized with reliable debug options.  

It takes a great deal of energy to power the modern world, and demand grows every day.
