Cadence Tools and IP Optimized for New Arm Neoverse N1 Platform to Advance the Cloud-to-Edge Infrastructure Market
Cadence Design Systems (News - Alert), Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS) today announced that its
tools and IP have been optimized to support the new Arm®
Neoverse™ N1 platform to accelerate the transformation of a
scalable cloud-to-edge infrastructure. To ease adoption, Cadence
delivered a 7nm full-flow digital implementation and signoff Rapid
Adoption Kit (RAK), collaborated with Arm to ensure the Cadence®
Verification Suite and its engines improve designer throughput, and
integrated Cadence DDR4 PHY IP, CCIX IP and PCI (News - Alert) Express® (PCIe®)
4.0 PHY IP. Additionally, the Neoverse N1 System Design Platform (SDP),
based on the Neoverse N1 platform and Cadence IP, was implemented and
verified using Cadence tools to support Cache Coherent Interconnect
(CCIX) for asymmetrical compute acceleration.
7nm Digital Implementation and Signoff RAK
The RAK for Neoverse N1 includes the Cadence full-flow digital
implementation and signoff tools that utilize Arm 7nm POP™ IP
libraries. The comprehensive Cadence RTL-to-GDS flow enables customers
to accelerate physical implementation and signoff to speed time to
market. The RAK also includes comprehensive documentation and scripts
outlining how customers can achieve optimal power, performance and area
(PPA) goals with new devices. The tools in the flow include the
Innovus™ Implementation System, Genus™ Synthesis
Solution, Conformal® Equivalence Checking, Conformal Low
Power, Tempus™ Timing Signoff Solution and the Quantus™
Extraction Solution.
Cadence Verification Suite
Cadence delivered a full verification and emulation suite to support the
Neoverse N1 platform including Xcelium® Parallel Logic
Simulation Platform, Palladium® Z1 Enterprise Emulation
Platform, JasperGold® Formal Verification Platform, vManager™
Planning and Metrics, Perspec™ System Verifier and the
Cadence Verification IP (VIP) portfolio with the Cadence Interconnect
Workbench. The powerful combination of the Cadence Verification Suite
and its engines improve verification throughput for engineers creating
Neoverse N1-based designs.
Cadence IP
Cadence DDR4 PHY IP, CCIX IP and PCIe 4.0 PHY IP have been integrated
and proven in silicon with the Neoverse N1 platform, driving key I/O
interfaces to peak levels of performance. Arm selected the Cadence IP
for the integration due to its strong feature set and maturity with
silicon proof-points at 7nm.
Neoverse N1 SDP
Cadence also collaborated with Arm on the delivery of the Neoverse N1
SDP. The N1 SDP isbased on the Neoverse N1 platform and Cadence DDR4
PHY IP, CCIX IP and PCIe 4.0 PHY IP that enables asymmetrical compute
acceleration via CCIX for application areas like machine learning /
artificial intelligence (AI), 5G and analytics. A full Cadence tool flow
was used to implement and verify the SDP, and customers can begin
software development immediately and shorten overall time to market.
"The Neoverse N1 platform delivers the latest high-performance compute
with optimal power consumption to support the diverse compute
requirements of the next-generation infrastructure from hyperscale to
edge access," said Drew Henry, senior vice president and general
manager, Infrastructure Line of Business, Arm. "Through our continued
collaboration with Cadence, customers can enhance their development
environments to quickly differentiate themselves with their
next-generation Neoverse-based solutions."
"We worked closely with Arm to optimize our advanced digital
implementation and signoff solutions, the Cadence Verification Suite and
our IP for the Neoverse N1 platform so our customers can efficiently
create innovative 7nm designs," said Dr. Chin-Chi Teng, senior vice
president and general manager of the Digital & Signoff Group
at Cadence. "As part of this collaboration, Cadence provided tools and
IP for the Arm Neoverse N1 SDP, and customers can begin designing
Neoverse SDP-based systems immediately."
Cadence-Arm Seminars
To further facilitate adoption of the Neoverse N1 platform, a series of
seminars will be held during Q2 2019, where customers can learn how to
implement the new processor using the Cadence tools and IP. Seminars are
being planned in the following locations:
-
Bangalore, India
-
Beijing, China
-
Shanghai, China
-
Hsinchu, Taiwan
-
Petah Tikvah, Israel
