Cloud native EDA tools & pre-optimized hardware platforms
Amazon Web Services (AWS), a global leader in cloud computing, has been at the forefront of innovation, providing a comprehensive suite of cloud services to millions of customers worldwide. AWS operates in the tech industry with a vast infrastructure that supports a diverse range of applications from simple websites to complex machine learning models. As AWS continues to expand its offerings, ensuring the reliability and efficiency of its silicon components is critical. AWS collaborated with Synopsys to address the challenges associated with testing and monitoring silicon components throughout their lifecycle.
Synopsys SLM High-Speed Access and Test (HSAT) IP solution was implemented to address these challenges. This innovative solution leverages existing high-speed functional interfaces such as PCIe and USB in the SoC to deliver test data using the native functional protocol of the interface.
The implementation of Synopsys SLM HSAT IP provided AWS with significant benefits:
The collaboration between AWS and Synopsys resulted in a robust and scalable solution that not only met the immediate needs but also provided a framework for ongoing improvements and efficiencies in silicon testing and monitoring.
