Honored as a National Innovation Platform! Xinhuazhang's high-performance digital simulator Qiongding GalaxSim was listed in the "New Technology and New Product List" of Zhongguancun Forum
On May 26, the 2023 Zhongguancun Forum kicked off in Beijing, and President Xi Jinping sent a congratulatory letter to the forum. As a national-level platform for global scientific and technological innovation exchanges and cooperation, the forum focused on displaying a number of high-quality scientific and technological achievements projects representing the country's cutting-edge technological level, attracting participation from 40 countries and regions around the world.
As a system-level verification EDA solution provider, Xinhuazhang was selected into the "New Technology and New Product List" of the conference with its high-performance digital simulator Dome GalaxSim, and represented the country and faced the world, deeply participated in the release and promotion of high-end cutting-edge scientific and technological achievements, supply and demand Matchmaking, communication and negotiation, and publicity and display.
Since 2007, the ZGC Forum has become a global, comprehensive and open high-end international forum for technological innovation. The Zhongguancun Forum is co-sponsored by the Ministry of Science and Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Chinese Academy of Engineering, the China Association for Science and Technology and the Beijing Municipal People's Government.
With the continuous development of the digital economy such as large-scale integrated circuits, smart cars, and electronic system design, the integrated circuit design tool EDA has played a vital role, making it possible to design nano-scale chips that cannot be completed by hand, and runs through from chip to chip. The innovation of electronic systems is the lifeblood of the integrated circuit industry and one of the strategic foundational pillars, known as the "mother of chips".
Xinhuazhang focuses on chip digital front-end verification, which is the "safety lock" for the success of the most cutting-edge chip tape-out, and it is also a blank in the domestic EDA layout. In a chip research and development project, the verification workload usually accounts for more than half, and determines the success or failure and quality of the chip.
As an essential part of chip verification, the digital simulation service simulates the running status of the chip in a real environment through rich and complete test incentives, and helps engineers judge whether the running results meet expectations through various debugging methods.
GalaxSim uses an innovative software framework, provides multi-computing platform support, is compatible with a variety of domestic servers, and adopts distributed parallel simulation technology, which can realize the simulation verification of 100 billion VLSI . The application scenario has been extended to the system level, which can help large-scale designs to conduct system-level verification in advance to achieve high- efficiency and high-efficiency iterations, thereby helping customers greatly improve verification efficiency.
In the actual measurement of GPGPU design by a domestic company, under the same conditions, it takes 7 days for a typical test with a traditional simulator. GalaxSim uses more than 400 computing threads to shorten the simulation time to less than 2 hours. Compared with the traditional The breakthrough efficiency of the emulator is nearly 100 times higher.
