Tensilica delivers scripting support to help customers exploit advanced technologies provided by Synopsys’ Galaxy platform, including Topographical technology, congestion driven placement, pin placement optimization, useful skew, and Zroute, which collectively provide high frequency with area-efficient layout.
Tensilica’s DPU IP cores are increasingly used in a variety of power-and-performance critical dataplane and signal processing applications, stated Steve Smith, senior director, platform marketing at Synopsys. Galaxy’s advanced synthesis, optimization and place-and-route technologies deliver a more efficient implementation for Tensilica-based designs.
Synopsys has delivered on what it promised with DC Ultra and IC Compiler, stated Ashish Dixit, Tensilica’s vice president of hardware engineering. We have seen consistently better quality of results with these tools and anticipate that our customers will take full advantage of the support we provide.
