Teradici Corporation Selects Synopsys to Help Deliver Breakthrough
PC-Over-IP Technology
Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq:SNPS), a world
leader in semiconductor design software, today announced that Teradici
Corp. has achieved first-time silicon success utilizing Synopsys'
Galaxy™ Design Platform products, Discovery™ Verification Platform
products, DesignWare® silicon intellectual property (IP) and Synopsys
Professional Services on their first multi-million-gate system-on-chip
(SoC). This unique PC-over-IP® SoC technology spans the enterprise
network, delivering breakthrough innovation in computer display
compression to emulate a true personal computer (PC) experience over
internet protocol networks. Synopsys was able to help Teradici deliver
the complex SoC quickly, within the tight market window, and achieve
silicon success.
"We received first samples in early December, and immediately had
critical high-speed interconnect IP and processor cores running
successfully. Within another week, our most complex logic was fully
operational," said Maher Fahmi, vice president of Silicon Engineering at
Teradici. "With the help of Synopsys' industry-leading tools, IP and
design services, Teradici was able to achieve first-silicon success."
Synopsys' consultants worked cooperatively with Teradici's engineers
using tools from Synopsys' Galaxy Design Platform and Discovery
Verification Platform, as well as DesignWare silicon IP including PCI
Express and USB 2.0 digital controllers and PHY IPs. Teradici adopted
Synopsys' Pilot Design Environment for complete IP integration and
RTL-to-GDSII physical design assistance through tapeout.
For Teradici, a critical component in selecting a vendor was selecting
the right IP. Synopsys provided Teradici with the industry's
lowest-power, smallest-footprint PCI Express endpoint controller and PHY
IP. In addition, Synopsys was the only company offering a native 4-port
USB 2.0 PHY IP in the required target process, an integrated solution
that saved both chip area and power consumption. Then, Synopsys' expert
design services consultants assisted with the physical design
implementation and provided Teradici post-silicon validation in just two
weeks.
"Innovative start-ups like Teradici are able to entrust their critical
Ôgo to market' products with Synopsys' tools, IP and design services,"
said John Koeter, senior director of marketing for IP and services at
Synopsys. "As validated by Teradici's milestone achievement, Synopsys
offers a total solution to help customers achieve predictable success."
