Enflame Virtual Prototyping for AI Chip Early SW Development

Enflame is an AI chip start-up company. It also develops runtime/framework SW to run AI models on its chip. Synopsys Virtualizer helps to shift-left SW development by 6 months. 

By employing virtual prototyping for the whole AI chip, HW designer got early feedback for new architecture

- Performance optimization started before chip tap-out

- Hybrid virtual prototyping even help to verify RTL design

- HW and its SW time-to-market was reduced. 

This session will present: why virtual prototyping, virtual prototyping development, usage model, achievements and next steps.
