Synopsys, Inc. announced its PrimeShield™ design robustness solution has been deployed by Samsung's System LSI Business on its advanced process technologies for next-generation designs spanning mobile, 5G and automotive applications. PrimeShield, accelerated by machine learning (ML) technology, improves design immunity to variation and maximizes energy efficiency and design performance for customers targeting high-growth applications. Part of the Synopsys Fusion Design Platform™, PrimeShield provides comprehensive voltage slack, design variation and global skew analysis to tackle design vulnerability stemming from variations for power and performance-sensitive designs. PrimeShield enables designers to maximize energy efficiency and design performance. Accelerated by ML technology, PrimeShield performs fast Monte Carlo path simulation on critical timing paths 100-10,000X faster correlated with PrimeSim™ HSPICE®. Its patented design variation analysis with statistical modeling enables handling of large-scale SoCs with billions of cells within minutes versus days or weeks required by full statistical simulations.
