Synopsys and SiMa.ai Partner to Accelerate Development of Automotive Edge AI Solution
Synopsys and SiMa.ai have joined forces to create a comprehensive solution designed to accelerate the development of workload-specific silicon and software needed to power artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled features in next-generation automobiles. This solution will combine Synopsys’ electronic design automation (EDA), automotive-grade IP, and hardware verification tools with SiMa.ai’s machine learning accelerator (MLA) IP and ML software stack application development environment for maximum customisation of IP, subsystems, chiplets, and SoCs.

Targeting Key Automotive Applications

The companies noted that “Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and In-vehicle Infotainment (IVI) are emerging as key differentiators for automakers with a tremendous diversity in applications.” The solution targets key automotive applications such as ADAS and IVI, which are reliant on artificial intelligence at the edge to deliver real-time, multi-modal in-car experiences. However, current software-defined vehicle (SDV) architectures are not equipped to support the diversity of applications and the required compute, performance, and reliability.

The companies believe that Automakers need AI-ready, workload-verified, power-efficient software architectures to compete in this new environment, along with hardware-software co-design solutions, from silicon–to–systems, to reduce development costs and de-risk start-of-production timelines.
