About Platform Architect

Synopsys Platform Architect™ is a SystemC™ standards-based performance and power analysis tool for early SoC architecture exploration and design. Using transaction-level simulation , it reduces design time by predicting and optimizing architecture KPIs. ​

Platform Architect helps optimize hardware-software partitioning, IP selection and configuration, interconnect and memory configuration, and power. ​

Today’s SoC complexity means spreadsheet-based architecture tools are inefficient and run a high risk of re-spins to meet power and performance targets, resulting in higher costs and TTM delay.  With the largest library of architecture models, and fast capture of task and trace-based SW workloads, Platform Architect is the choice to shift-left your architecture design and deliver the right product on schedule.

In addition, Synopsys Platform Architect for Multi-Die Systems accounts for the interdependencies between multiple dies, or chiplets, within multi-die systems.
