Synopsys Launches Industry’s First Complete 1.6T Ethernet IP Solution to Meet High Bandwidth Needs of AI and Hyperscale Data Center Chips

Synopsys

Synopsys, Inc delivered a dramatic increase in bandwidth and throughput for data-intensive AI workloads with the industry’s first complete 1.6T Ethernet IP solution. Hyperscale data centers, a backbone in the era of pervasive intelligence, require high-bandwidth, low-latency chips and interfaces to process petabytes of data quickly. Synopsys’ new 1.6T Ethernet IP solution enables design teams to create the industry’s fastest chips for AI and data center networking applications.

Synopsys is enabling hyperscale data center providers, and the ecosystem that serves them, to future-proof their infrastructure via their silicon roadmap, using the industry’s most extensive, interoperable, and proven IP portfolio:

“Massive artificial intelligence and machine learning workloads are accelerating the need for 1.6T Ethernet in data centers,” said Ram Periakaruppan, vice president and general manager, Network Test & Security Solutions, Keysight Technologies. “The combination of Synopsys’ new 1.6T Ethernet controllers and robust 224G Ethernet PHY IP and Keysight’s IxVerify pre-silicon test solution are essential to helping customers design the world’s fastest, most reliable system on a chip devices.”

“Insatiable demand for high-speed data access is pushing hyperscale cloud providers to upgrade their networking infrastructure to maintain their competitive edge” said Keith Guetig, vice president of Product Management, Samtec. “With successful interoperability between this and many prior generations of Synopsys’ high-quality Ethernet solutions and Samtec’s high-speed FlyOver® cable assemblies, chip designers and system architects can reduce their design risk when developing the next generation of SoCs for cloud, AI, and 5G applications.”

“With growing demands from large language modeling, HPC simulation, and AI training in hyperscale data centers, network boundaries are crossing over the Terabits per second threshold,” said Peter Jones, chairman, Ethernet Alliance. “The availability of development tools capable of meeting these needs is critical to the success of next-generation Ethernet standards addressing this market.”

“The massive compute demands of hyperscale data centers require significantly faster Ethernet speeds to enable emerging AI workloads,” said John Koeter, senior vice president of marketing and strategy for IP, Synopsys. “Our complete IP solution for 1.6T Ethernet, pre-verified subsystems, successful ecosystem interoperability, and decades of expertise in developing and delivering the industry’s broadest interface IP portfolio allow designers to confidently integrate the necessary functionality into their SoCs with less risk.”
