Synopsys is an American company. Synopsys' first and best-known product is Design Compiler, a logic-synthesis tool. Synopsys offers a wide range of other products used in the design of an application-specific integrated circuit. Products include logic synthesis, behavioral synthesis, place and route, static timing analysis, formal verification, hardware description language (SystemC, SystemVerilog/Verilog, VHDL) simulators as well as transistor-level circuit simulation. The simulators include development and debugging environments which assist in the design of the logic for chips and computer systems. In recent years Synopsys has also expanded into the application security market.

History[edit]


Founded in 1986 by Aart J. de Geus and engineers from General Electric's Microelectronics Center in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, Synopsys was first established as "Optimal Solutions" with a charter to develop and market synthesis technology developed by the team at General Electric.



Acquisitions, mergers, spinoffs[edit]

Synopsys Armenia Education Department (SAED) Graduating Class



  • 1994: acquired Cadis, Aachen, Germany. Through this acquisition Synopsys got the communication systems and DSP design tool suit named COSSAP. COSSAP stood for Communication System Simulation and Application Processor. Synopsys carried out various communication (predominantly wireless modems) design and consulting activities using this tool (and later the evolved new tool Co-centric System Studio). The Cadis group was a spin-off development initiative from Institute for Integrated Signal Processing Systems (ISS), RWTH Aachen, spearheaded by Professor Heinrich Meyr[3] and Professor Gerd Ascheid.[4] COSSAP was a competing product to SPW[5] from Cadence (now maintained and enhanced by Coware).[6] Synopsys stopped support on COSSAP since 2003 and promoted the enhanced tool Concentric System Studio.

ARC International[edit]


ARC International PLC was the designer of ARC (Argonaut RISC Core) embedded processors, which were widely used in SoC devices for IoT, storage, digital home, mobile, and automotive applications. ARC processors have been licensed by more than 200 companies and are shipped in more than 1.5 Billion products per year.[42] ARC International was acquired by Synopsys in 2010.


The roots of ARC International date back to the early 1990s. The company was founded by Jez San to build upon the 3D accelerator technology previously developed for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System by a division of Argonaut Software. This forerunner to the ARC was originally called the Mario (Mathematical, Argonaut, Rotation & I/O) chip and later dubbed the Super FX. It went on to sell millions, at the time outselling ARM or any other RISC core.[43][44]


Following the success of the Super FX, its designers were split from the main company to a subsidiary called Argonaut Technology Ltd (ATL). The design was renamed to ARC and marketed as a general-purpose configurable microprocessor. Later, ATL spun off as a separate company, ARC International. In 1995 Bob Terwilliger took over as ARC's first CEO. He created the company licensing strategy, commercialized the product including the acquisition of Metaware, VAutomation and Precise Software. He raised $50 million pre-IPO and took the company public in September 2000, raising an additional $250 million.


A list of notable events following:



  • September 21, 2000, ARC listed on the London Stock Exchange as ARK.[45]

  • June 17, 2002, ARC took over three companies, MetaWare, VAutomation, and Precise Software Technologies[46] but later parts were sold off to other companies.

  • April 2007, ARC acquired Teja Technologies of San Jose, California, a specialist in heterogeneous multiprocessor software.[47][48]

  • June 14, 2007, ARC acquired Tenison Design Automation of Cambridge, UK, a provider of software tools used to help develop system-on-chip (SoC) designs.[49][50]

  • September 23, 2007, ARC acquired Alarity Corporation of St. Petersburg, Russia, that specializes in codec software, firmware, and advanced multimedia architectures.[51][52][53]

  • February 11, 2008, ARC acquired Sonic Focus, a specialist developer of audio enhancement technology for digital sound.[54]

  • November 5, 2009, Virage Logic completes acquisition of ARC International.[55][56]

The company entered the Venture Cup competition that year, and was one of the finalists.[58]


In 2007, the founders of Clarified Networks also were awarded for their VMware Applicance called HowNetWorks.[59][60]


In 2011, the company was acquired by Codenomicon.



CoWare[edit]


CoWare, now part of Synopsys, was a supplier of platform-driven electronic system-level (ESL) design software and services.
CoWare was headquartered in San Jose, California, and had offices around the world, major R&D offices in Belgium, Germany and India.


CoWare development was initiated by the Interuniversity Microelectronics Centre (IMEC) in Belgium as an internal project in 1992.[61] In 1996, CoWare spun off as an independent company.[62] CoWare is one of the founding member of SystemC language[63] In 2005, CoWare acquired the Signal Processing department from Cadence.[64] On February 8, 2010, Synopsys has announced an acquisition of CoWare.[65]


Its products included : Platform Architect, Model Designer, Model Library, Processor Designer, Signal Processing Designer and Virtual Platform Designer.



Novas Software[edit]


Novas Software (often referred to as "Novas") was a company founded in 1996 by Dr. Paul Huang to address the ongoing problem of debugging chip designs. Novas was purchased by Taiwan-based EDA company SpringSoft in May 2008. Prior to its purchase, Novas was partly owned by SpringSoft, which developed the underlying debug technology.[66] Until 2008, Novas grew to employ over 50 people with office locations across the world, headquartered in San Jose, California. SpringSoft and Novas was acquired by Synopsys in 2012.


Novas offered debugging and visibility enhancement products that cut down on verification time. Novas' main product offerings included the Debussy Debug System, Verdi Automated Debug System and the Siloti family of Visibility Enhancement products. A 2006 study found Novas Software to be the sixth most-used EDA vendor.[67] Along with this, Novas Software topped the user satisfaction ratings with 100% of respondents in Europe, 83% in North America & 69% in Asia saying they were either "very" or "somewhat" satisfied.[68] This distinction was also awarded to Novas Software for the four years prior to 2006.
