Verification of today’s devices takes an enormous amount of computing power. Advanced methodologies require a huge number of automated tests to exercise all parts of the design. Regression tests must run frequently to ensure that changes do not break previously verified functionality. Most projects cannot afford to buy enough compute resources and simulation licenses to meet their peak demand, and many projects struggle to build their own verification infrastructure. A more flexible approach is required.

Verification consumes most of the compute resources in a typical data center for a semiconductor design company. Simulation comprises one of the largest, if not the largest, workloads in this mix. To maximize the likelihood of first silicon success, development teams often increase the volume of simulation jobs they run in preparation for tape-out. However, this effort is often limited by the compute resources that customers can bring to bear on the task.

Verifications account for almost 70% of the time and resources consumed during chip development. Moving some or even all of logic simulation to cloud allows customers to free up valuable on-premises resources for other workloads. The deployment of Synopsys’ functional verification solutions on the AWS cloud platform enables accelerated development and verification of breakthrough connectivity technology and SoCs. AWS cloud enables users to take advantage of elastic infrastructure resources to address the increasing capacity requirements for semiconductor simulations.
