Imagination & Synopsys

Accelerating GPU, CPU and AI Semiconductor IP Innovation

Key Benefits
Collaboration
Resources

Get Started

Optimized Power, Performance, and Area of Imagination Processor IP

Imagination creates silicon and software IP designed to give its customers an edge in competitive global technology markets. Its GPU, CPU, and AI technologies enable outstanding performance, power, and area (PPA), fast time-to-market, and lower total cost of ownership. Imagination has been a long-time user of Synopsys tools for its processors’ design implementation and verification. Our collaboration has provided mutual customers the IP, tools, and reference flows to help best optimize processors designs for end applications.

Key Benefits

Optimized Processor IP

Fusion QuickStart Kits enhance power, performance, and area on 5nm process technology

Accelerated Time-to-Market

EDA design methodologies reduce design iterations for high-performance SoC designs

Long-Term Collaboration

Solutions and flows for advanced designs accelerate end-to-end chip design

Areas of Collaboration

Optimized Implementation

Synopsys Fusion QIKs accelerate end-to-end chip design and achieve the best PPA for the IMG CXT GPU. Imagination uses QIKs to achieve target performance on 5nm process technology, using seven partitions and a hierarchical flow leveraging Synopsys Fusion Compiler™ RTL-to-GDSII and Synopsys Design Space Optimization (DSO.ai™) solutions. DSO.ai™ autonomously explores multiple design spaces to enhance PPA metrics. Synopsys RTL Architect can also be implemented into the design flow to identify bottlenecks in the RTL source code. The fast, multi-dimensional implementation prediction engine anticipates the PPA and congestion impact of RTL changes before RTL handoff.
