"With the increasing market requirements for handling large AI computational data sets driving the need for enormous GPU and CPU computational power, the development time for NVIDIA’s next generation AI systems have become highly compressed to a yearly release cycle, necessitating best-in-class prototyping solutions. Synopsys HAPS-200 offers the fastest prototyping speed in the industry. The 50 MHz performance we have been able to achieve with HAPS-200 has been key to boosting productivity of our software development teams. We are looking forward to scaling our HAPS-200 deployment to take full advantage for our software development teams.”

“... HW-assisted verification is no longer optional. It is critical to meeting aggressive time-to-market goals and ensuring silicon readiness. FPGA-based emulation and prototyping play a central role in that effort by accelerating system bring-up and enabling earlier software development... Through joint optimization of Synopsys ZeBu with the AMD Vivado software stack, and by leveraging AMD EPYC processors for compute acceleration, we are reducing compile times and helping customers move to accurate system models faster.”

“Synopsys is a key member of Arm Total Design, bringing critical tools and the advanced HAV capabilities to quickly and reliably validate solutions built on Arm Compute Subsystems (CSS). The new ZeBu-200 and HAPS-200 hardware platforms will also assist our mutual customers in integrating Arm CSS into their designs with improved turnaround times to meet the demanding requirements for complex data center infrastructure and automotive systems.”

“Verifying hardware for our highly anticipated rack-scale AMD Helios solution... demands scalable and versatile verification platforms. The Synopsys SW-defined, HAV capabilities with EP-Ready hardware are critical to how we perform CPU, GPU and AI subsystems verification as well as full-system validation...

“SiFive has a very large and configurable portfolio of RISC-V CPU and AI core IP. We extensively test our IP using software workloads on HAPS, which means we can run trillions of cycles per day. As next generation CPUs and AI cores become larger and more complex, we need to efficiently map them onto larger and more powerful FPGAs. With its EP-Ready hardware HAPS-200 offers us an FPGA platform to do full system emulation for reference platforms that scale from small microcontrollers all the way to large scale data center designs.”

"AMD has used ZeBu EP solutions for fast emulation with software workloads for a number of years. The EP-ready Hardware concept has allowed us to switch on demand, as a design matures, to a prototyping use case and significantly increase workload throughput. ZeBu-200 and HAPS-200 EP-Ready systems will enable further performance improvements to accelerate design verification and software validation."

"Validating our multi-die design against real-world interfaces and scenarios with the high-performance HAPS prototyping platform enables us to optimize our design early on, with faster build times and more predictable results. Having a common hardware platform for different prototype models means we can shift the hardware to use on large or small models in real time, with reduced compute and storage resources and the ability to easily and quickly scale as our needs require."
