Synopsys High Performance Core (HPC) Design Kit

A single kit of memories and libraries to optimize all CPU, GPU and DSP cores

Developed in close collaboration with leading CPU, GPU and DSP IP providers including Imagination Technologies and CEVA , the Synopsys HPC Design Kit is a suite of high-speed and high-density memories and logic libraries that allow SoC designers to optimize their processor cores for maximum speed, smallest area, lowest power, or an optimum balance of the three for their specific application.


  • One design kit for optimizing all processor cores on an SoC
  • Includes ultra high-density memory compiler and more than 125 new standard cells and memory instances
  • Up to 10% performance improvement, 10% area and 15% power reduction on DSPs like CEVA-XC DSP core
  • Up to 10% performance improvement on CPU cores
  • Up to 25% lower power with 10% area reduction on Imagination GPU cores such as the Imagination Technology PowerVR Series6 IP core
