Synopsys Adds Ai To Its Verification And Test Tools

Synopsys is adding reinforcement learning (RL) to its chip design tools to improve the productivity of designers. This builds on the DSO.ai tool, which has already been used on over 100 chip tapeouts. RL-based tools are already being used by Google, Renesas, and Samsung for chip designs. Synopsys is adding RL tools for verification and test, and VSO.ai helps verification engineers reach coverage closure targets faster and find more bugs. RL has also been added to the TSO.ai tool for test pattern generation.
