Synopsys Delivers Breakthrough Performance with New ZeBu Empower Emulation System for Hardware-Software Power Verification

ZeBu Empower Enables Power Verification Turnaround Within Hours Using Real-World Software Workloads for AI, 5G, Data Center and Mobile SoC Applications

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Feb. 24, 2021 — (PRNewswire) —

Highlights:

Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) today announced the immediate availability of ZeBu® Empower emulation system, delivering breakthrough technology for fast hardware-software power verification of multi-billion gate SoC designs. The performance of ZeBu Empower enables multiple iterations per day with actionable power profiling in the context of the full design and its software workload. With ZeBu Empower, software and hardware designers can utilize the power profiles to identify substantial power improvement opportunities for dynamic and leakage power much earlier. The ZeBu Empower emulation system also feeds forward power-critical blocks and time windows into Synopsys' PrimePower engine to accelerate RTL power analysis and gate-level power sign-off.

Customer Commentary:

Traditionally, power analysis with realistic software workloads is performed post-silicon, introducing a high amount of risk to miss critical high-power situations, which exposes companies to significant cost and product adoption risk. By taking advantage of high-speed emulation in ZeBu Empower, design teams can perform verification earlier in the design cycle, dramatically reducing risks of power bugs and missed SoC power goals.

"The industry's need to shift-left software development from post-silicon to pre-silicon has driven tremendous adoption of our ZeBu Server over the last five years," said Manoj Gandhi, general manager of the Verification Group at Synopsys. "Our breakthrough technology in ZeBu Empower addressees our customers' need for hardware-software power verification enabling them to develop a new generation of power optimized SoCs."

Synopsys offers a comprehensive solution for low power design and verification, including RTL-based early power exploration to the industry's golden power signoff; from early static verification to emulation-based hardware-software power verification. Synopsys' innovative low power solutions are deployed across some of the most demanding designs, globally.

Availability

The Synopsys ZeBu Empower emulation system for hardware-software power verification solution is available now.
