Synopsys launches new tools to design artificial intelligence chips

Synopsys has introduced its first major set of innovations since its $35 billion acquisition of Ansys.
The new suite of software tools aims to manage the increasing complexity of designing chips for artificial intelligence (AI) applications.
The AI chips now use architectures consisting of multiple chiplets, increasing the challenges in physical and thermal design constraints.
The new tools are designed to handle these constraints from the initial design stage to improve performance, reduce energy consumption, and control costs.
Synopsys is adjusting its software to accommodate the rapid advancement in advanced architectures used in AI systems.
