- Tool type
- AI chip-design optimization software
- Made for
- Semiconductor design and verification teams
- Runs on
- Licensed software in a compatible Synopsys EDA environment
What it does
Synopsys DSO.ai uses reinforcement learning to explore chip-design workflow options. It searches combinations of settings and implementation choices against objectives such as power, performance and area, helping engineers compare more candidate solutions than manual tuning would usually permit.
The software works with compatible Synopsys implementation tools, including Fusion Compiler and IC Compiler II. Teams provide design inputs, constraints and optimization goals, then assess the resulting trade-offs. It is specialist engineering software that requires the supporting EDA environment and compute resources, not a consumer chip generator.
What it can do
- Design-space exploration
- Reinforcement-learning optimization
- Multi-objective tuning
- RTL-to-GDSII flow optimization
Before you choose
- Underlying EDA licenses and compute requirements need confirmation.
- Optimization results still require engineering validation.
Listed under
Get started
- Confirm tool compatibility and licensing with Synopsys.
- Prepare design inputs, constraints and optimization targets.
- Run experiments and verify the selected implementation against signoff requirements.
