ARM today announced the availability of the ARM VSTREAM virtual debug interface; a fast and flexible virtual link that connects software debuggers to hardware assisted verification systems. VSTREAM enables more efficient software development in the early stages of system design, improving the utilization of hardware resources and reducing project risk and time-to-market for new ARM processor-based devices.

ARM today announced the latest AMBA 4 interface and protocol specification featuring the AMBA 4 AXI Coherency Extensions (ACE). Cache coherency is essential in multicore computing applications to efficiently maintain the consistency of data stored in local caches of a shared resource. The AMBA 4 ACE specification enables system level cache coherency across clusters of multicore processors, such as the ARM® Cortex™-A15 MPCore™ processors and ...

Xilinx, Inc and ARM today announced they are collaborating to enable ARM processor and interconnect technology on Xilinx FPGAs. Xilinx is adopting ARM Cortex processor IP, using performance-optimized ARM cell libraries and embedded memories for their future programmable platforms. In addition, ARM and Xilinx are working to define the next-generation ARM® AMBA® interconnect technology that is enhanced and optimized for FPGA architectures.

Synopsys, Inc. today announced it has completed the acquisition of privately held RSoft Design Group, Inc. (RSoft). The combination of Synopsys' imaging and illumination design products with RSoft's photonics design products extends Synopsys' platform to provide a more complete set of optical solutions to current customers, as well as to support new technologies, applications and markets as they emerge.

Synopsys, Inc. today announced the production qualification and adoption of Synopsys' Proteus LRC at Renesas Electronics Corporation, the world's premier supplier of microcontrollers and a world's leading supplier of advanced semiconductor system solutions including microcontrollers, SoC solutions and a broad-range of analog and power devices. Proteus LRC provides large-scale integrated circuit (LSI) manufacturers like Renesas with a highly accur...

Synopsys today announced that Renesas Technology has adopted Synopsys' Proteus OPC for 45nm production. With the introduction of 45nm and below technologies, the demand for optical proximity correction (OPC) becomes greater due to design complexity and layer volume, making time to market and cost of ownership critical factors in OPC vendor selection. Proteus OPC is the industry’s most cost-effective solution since its highly scalable engine ru...

Synopsys has announced that Sunplus Technology Co., Ltd, a leading provider of advanced IC solutions for home entertainment applications, has signed an expanded business agreement to establish Synopsys as its primary EDA partner. Under the new multi-year agreement, Sunplus has consolidated on Synopsys’ Galaxy Implementation and Discovery Verification Platforms for their chip development and design flows, and has extended its use of Synopsys Des...

Synopsys announced that it has collaborated with TSMC to validate Synopsys’ custom design solution with TSMC’s 28-nanometer (nm) interoperable process design kit (iPDK) and Analog/Mixed-Signal (AMS) Reference Flow 1.0. TSMC’s 28nm reference phase-locked loop (PLL) design was used to validate Synopsys’ comprehensive custom solution while demonstrating productivity-enhancing capabilities of the TSMC AMS Reference Flow 1.0. The validated sol...

Synopsys announced it has acquired technology, engineering resources and other assets of Synfora, Inc., a provider of C/C++ high-level synthesis tools used to design complex systems-on-chips (SoCs) and FPGAs. The asset acquisition strengthens Synopsys' position in system-level design and verification and enhances the company's FPGA-based prototyping solutions.

Synopsys announced that its IC Validator physical verification product is qualified for TSMC's 40-nm and 65-nm interoperable DRC/LVS runsets, and is immediately available to TSMC customers. IC Validator, part of the Galaxy™ Implementation Platform, is an ideal add-on to IC Compiler for In-Design physical verification.
