Ansys has been selected by SiPearl to enable the development of its high performance computing (HPC) microprocessor family as part of the European Processor Initiative (EPI) consortium for exascale supercomputing. SiPearl will leverage the best-in-class Ansys RedHawk-SC™ multiphysics simulation platform to validate semiconductor power integrity, minimize power consumption, and accelerate development time of its Rhea family of microprocessors. Rhea is a high-performance, low-power family of microprocessors that will assert Europe's technological sovereignty in mission-critical semiconductors.

SiPearl will use the Ansys RedHawk-SC power integrity and reliability platform for multiphysics signoff to develop Rhea. SiPearl's system-on-chip (SoC) will power the European supercomputer to perform an astounding 1 quintillion calculations per second. Key Highlights: SiPearl is adopting Ansys Redhawk-SC semiconductor software to meet aggressive low-power goals for designing Europe's new energy-efficient microprocessor for exascale supercomputing; Ansys' high predictive accuracy multiphysics simulation platform is used to minimize chip power and ensure operational reliability; and SiPearl will use Ansys' solution to develop high-performance computing chips with advanced-node semiconductor technology.
