Synopsys Intel Certification

Synopsys, Inc. (NASDAQ:SNPS) , a vendor of software and IP for semiconductor design and manufacturing, today announced that Synopsys' DesignWare(R) IP for PCI Express(R) with PCI-SIG(R) I/O Virtualization (IOV) technology has completed testing at Intel's labs and will be used as the gold standard to demonstrate single root IOV (SR-IOV) running on the latest Intel hardware platforms at next week's Intel Developer Forum (IDF).

The silicon-proven DesignWare digital controller and PHY IP for PCI Express with PCI-SIG IOV technology has been thoroughly tested using Intel's SR-IOV hardware platforms and Independent Hardware Vendor (IHV) test software, demonstrating that the IP is interoperable and functions in accordance to the PCI-SIG IOV specification. Proven interoperability of the DesignWare IP for PCI Express allows designers to lower the risk of integrating PCI-SIG IOV technology into their system-on-chips (SoCs) and helps speed adoption of the standard.

"Demonstrating interoperability between the DesignWare IP for PCI Express with Intel's hardware platform is an example of how Synopsys continues to actively promote and support the latest industry standards," said John Koeter, Vice President of Marketing for IP and Services at Synopsys. "As a leader in PCI Express IP, we provide proven, interoperable and high quality IP for SR- IOV, which helps designers quickly deliver differentiated blades, servers and storage systems to the market."

"SR-IOV is a key technology that is being driven for enterprise computing customers to lower costs and increase performance of virtualized systems," said Jim Pappas, Director of Initiative Marketing for Intel Corporation. "By working closely with leading technology companies such as Synopsys, Intel is contributing to an ecosystem that consists of the latest tools, IP and platforms that support the PCI-SIG IOV technology."
