Groq Selects Synopsys ZeBu Server 4 for Its TSP Architecture Development

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., April 13, 2020 -- Synopsys, Inc. announced that Groq has adopted the Synopsys ZeBu Server 4 emulation solution for its Tensor Streaming Processor (TSP) architecture development. ZeBu Server 4 performance and capacity enabled first silicon success of Groq's TSP architecture for artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning platforms. ZeBu also enabled optimization and validation of Groq's TSP architecture prior to silicon, resulting in unmatched performance for throughput and latency. "As we redefine compute technology with our unique single-core architecture, we are enabling the development of artificial intelligence and machine learning platforms that offer twice the inference performance while drastically reducing infrastructure costs," said Adrian Mendes, chief operating officer at Groq. "Synopsys ZeBu Server 4 Cloud solution delivered the performance and capacity required to efficiently analyze performance of our Tensor Streaming Processor, enabling us to focus on silicon innovation." ZeBu Server 4 is the industry's fastest emulation system offering 2X higher performance over competitive solutions.
