Synopsys has announced its collaboration with SiMa.ai to bring its machine learning inference at scale to the embedded edge. Through this engagement, SiMa.ai has adopted key products from Synopsys DesignWare IP, Verification Continuum Platform, and Fusion Design Platform for the development of their MLSoC, a purpose-built machine-learning platform targeted at specialised computer vision applications, such as autonomous driving, surveillance, and robotics.

Krishna Rangasayee, Founder and CEO, at SiMa.ai, said: "Working closely with top-tier customers, we have developed a software-centric architecture that delivers high-performance machine learning at the lowest power. Our purpose-built, highly integrated MLSoC supports legacy compute along with industry-leading machine learning to deliver more than 30x better compute-power efficiency, compared to industry alternatives.

"We are delighted to collaborate with Synopsys towards our common goal to bring high-performance machine learning to the embedded edge. Leveraging Synopsys' industry-leading portfolio of IP, verification, and design platforms enables us to reduce development risk and accelerate the design and verification process."  

Manoj Gandhi, General Manager of the Verification Group at Synopsys, added: "We are pleased to support SiMa.ai as it brings MLSoC chip to market. Our collaboration aims to address SiMa.ai's mission to enable customers to build low-power, high-performance machine learning solutions at the embedded edge across a diverse set of industries."

Since SiMa.ai's inception it has strategically collaborated with Synopsys to support all aspects of their MLSoC architecture design and verification.

The Synopsys Fusion Design Platform solutions enable optimised implementation, including:

  • Design Compiler synthesis solution
  • PrimeTime for timing signoff
  • PrimePower for power signoff
  • Formality equivalence-checking solution

The hardware and software verification solutions from the Verification Continuum platform enable scalable SoC verification, including:

  • Virtualiser virtual prototyping for earlier and faster software development
  • VCS simulation with the smallest memory footprint
  • ZeBu Server for system verification, benchmarking, and power analysis
  • Synopsys' high-quality DesignWare IP enables rapid development of SiMa.ai's MLSoC, including:
  • DesignWare ARC Embedded Vision Processor IP
  • DesignWare MIPI, DDR, and PCI Express IP solutions
  • DesignWare Foundation IP
  • DesignWare Security IP
