SUNNYVALE, Calif., Feb. 29,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS)
today delivered a dramatic increase in bandwidth and throughput for
data-intensive AI workloads with the industry's first complete 1.6T
Ethernet IP solution. Hyperscale data centers, a backbone in the
era of pervasive intelligence, require high-bandwidth, low-latency
chips and interfaces to process petabytes of data quickly.
Synopsys' new 1.6T Ethernet IP solution enables design teams to
create the industry's fastest chips for AI and data center
networking applications.
Synopsys is enabling hyperscale data center providers, and the
ecosystem that serves them, to future-proof their infrastructure
via their silicon roadmap, using the industry's most extensive,
interoperable, and proven IP portfolio:
"Massive artificial intelligence and machine learning workloads
are accelerating the need for 1.6T Ethernet in data centers," said
Ram Periakaruppan, vice president and general manager, Network Test
& Security Solutions, Keysight Technologies. "The combination
of Synopsys' new 1.6T Ethernet controllers and robust 224G Ethernet
PHY IP and Keysight's IxVerify pre-silicon test solution are
essential to helping customers design the world's fastest, most
reliable system on a chip devices."
"Insatiable demand for high-speed data access is pushing
hyperscale cloud providers to upgrade their networking
infrastructure to maintain their competitive edge" said
Keith Guetig, vice president of
Product Management, Samtec. "With successful interoperability
between this and many prior generations of Synopsys' high-quality
Ethernet solutions and Samtec's high-speed FlyOver® cable
assemblies, chip designers and system architects can reduce their
design risk when developing the next generation of SoCs for cloud,
AI, and 5G applications."
"With growing demands from large language modeling, HPC
simulation, and AI training in hyperscale data centers, network
boundaries are crossing over the Terabits per second threshold,"
said Peter Jones, chairman, Ethernet
Alliance. "The availability of development tools capable of meeting
these needs is critical to the success of next-generation Ethernet
standards addressing this market."
"The massive compute demands of hyperscale data centers require
significantly faster Ethernet speeds to enable emerging AI
workloads," said John Koeter, senior
vice president of marketing and strategy for IP, Synopsys. "Our
complete IP solution for 1.6T Ethernet, pre-verified subsystems,
successful ecosystem interoperability, and decades of expertise in
developing and delivering the industry's broadest interface IP
portfolio allow designers to confidently integrate the necessary
functionality into their SoCs with less risk."
Synopsys Complete 1.6T Ethernet
Solution
Synopsys' comprehensive IP solution, including new 1.6T MAC and
PCS Ethernet controllers, 224G Ethernet PHY IP, and verification
IP, accelerates time to market for AI and HPC networking chips. The
complete 1.6T Ethernet IP solution optimizes hyperscale data center
energy efficiency by reducing interconnect power consumption by up
to 50% compared to existing SoC implementations. The new
multi-channel, multi-rate Synopsys 1.6T Ethernet MAC and PCS
Controllers decrease area by 50%
and reduce latency by 40% by implementing a patented
Reed-Solomon Forward Error Correction architecture, while helping
ensure reliable data for Ethernet rates from 10G to 1.6T. The
silicon-proven 224G Ethernet PHY IP delivers robust link
performance with exceptional signal integrity and seamless
ecosystem interoperability for multiple channel lengths. The
industry's first Ethernet verification IP for up to 1.6T speeds,
implemented in native SystemVerilog and Universal Verification
Methodology, speeds time to first test.
