Synopsys har nu 'shipped' over 5000 HAPS prototypesystemer

Synopsys har stor succes med firmaets såkaldte HAPS prototypingsystem til softwareudvikling, HW/SW integration og systemvalidering (in english).

Prototyping teams seeking the highest performance ASIC prototypes select HAPS systems for the scalable architecture, integrated prototyping software and rich catalog of real world I/O interfaces.

- For more than four years, we have consistently relied on Synopsys HAPS systems to help us efficiently integrate and verify IP and perform full system validation, says Jinhua Chen, FPGA manager at PixelWorks.
- Synopsys provides us the most complete hardware and software prototyping solution in the industry, enabling us to accelerate our design time and reduce schedule risk.
 
HAPS systems are tightly integrated with Synopsys’ ProtoCompiler design automation software with built in HAPS hardware knowledge that enables designers to generate a multi FPGA design partition in a matter of minutes while delivering up to 3X faster system performance compared to traditional prototyping flows.

HAPS systems with ProtoCompiler support ASIC designs up to 288 million gates by extending the synchronisation of system clocks, reset and unified configuration. The combination of HAPS systems and ProtoCompiler prototyping software enables the development of ASIC designs that scale from individual IP blocks to complete SoCs while maintaining system performance.

- Through every generation of HAPS FPGA based prototyping systems, we have focused on addressing our customers’ pain points in the areas of scalability, time to first prototype and performance, says John Koeter, vice president of marketing for IP and prototyping at Synopsys.
- This significant milestone demonstrates how our customers are benefiting from our HAPS solutions to accelerate their software development, hardware/software integration and validation schedules.
