MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Oct. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS), a world leader in software and IP for semiconductor design, verification and manufacturing, will host a PrimeTime® Special Interest Group (SIG) event in Silicon Valley unveiling the latest user results with Synopsys' PrimeTime HyperScale Technology, the next-generation static timing analysis (STA) solution for large-chip hierarchical design. Speakers include timing experts from AMD, NVIDIA and others.

TOPIC TO BE COVERED:  PrimeTime HyperScale Technology – Extending Static Timing Analysis Beyond 500 Million Instances

WHAT: PrimeTime SIG 2010 Luncheon

WHEN: October 27, 2010

WHERE: Synopsys Sunnyvale office, Building 2, 455 North Mary Avenue, Sunnyvale, CA 94085

EVENT HOURS: 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm

DESCRIPTION: Static timing users are benefiting from the runtime boost offered by multicore-enabled software like PrimeTime. However, as more design teams are developing SoCs in the range of 50 to 100 million instances, achieving overnight turnaround for full-chip STA requires new thinking and new static timing innovation. In June 2010, Synopsys announced PrimeTime HyperScale technology, delivering the next 5-10X boost in performance and capacity for large full-chip STA.

Attendees will get first-hand information from early users on deploying Synopsys' PrimeTime HyperScale technology and how it works in concert with the hierarchical physical implementation methodology used to design large SoCs to deliver a significant productivity boost. The presentation by Synopsys R&D will provide insight on two key PrimeTime HyperScale technology innovations: 1) reuse of block-level timing information without the limitations of previous generations of timing models; and 2) auto updating of block and chip timing context for faster timing convergence.
