History

Synopsys was founded by Aart de Geus, David Gregory and Bill Krieger in 1986 in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. The company was initially established as Optimal Solutions with a charter to develop and market logic synthesis technology developed by the team at General Electric's Advanced Computer-Aided Engineering Group. The company changed its name to Synopsys and moved to Mountain View, California in 1987. [3] It became a public company through an initial public offering in February 1992. [4] [5]

The company built a supercomputer using commodity Linux servers and off-the-shelf hardware in 2006 to develop and run EDA applications with intense computational requirements. With LINPACK benchmark results topping 3.7  teraflops, the supercomputer made it to the TOP500 list, ranked 242nd most powerful at the time. [6] [7] [8]

In 2017, Synopsys established a $100 million strategic investment fund for the Chinese market. [9]

In 2018, according to the Center for Security and Emerging Technology, Synopsys partnered with the People's Liberation Army National Defence University to provide field-programmable gate array design training. [10] Synopsys also sells EDA software to companies under the control of Chinese regional governments. [11]

The company launched a cloud-based artificial intelligence (AI) software tool, DSO.ai, for chip design in early 2020. The AI approach, which uses reinforcement learning, allows the tool to automatically decide how best to place and route blocks of circuitry on a chip. [12] [13] [14] In March 2023, the company rolled out AI-based tools used in the other stages of chip design, including VSO.ai for verification and TSO.ai testing. [15] [16]

In 2020, the United States Department of Defense announced Synopsys as a partner in DARPA's Automatic Implementation of Secure Silicon (AISS) research program alongside ARM, Boeing, IBM, and other entities focused on developing automated design tools for secure chips. [17] [18]

In April 2021, following a Washington Post report on the use of Synopsys and Cadence Design Systems technology in the People's Liberation Army's military-civil fusion efforts, [19] U.S. legislators Michael McCaul and Tom Cotton requested that the United States Department of Commerce tighten controls on the sales of semiconductor manufacturing software. [20] [21]

In 2022, Synopsys was reported to be under investigation by the United States Department of Commerce for unlawful technology transfers to sanctioned companies in China such as Huawei's HiSilicon and Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation. [22] [23]

In July 2022, agents from Taiwan's Ministry of Justice Investigation Bureau raided the offices of a Synopsys-backed firm on suspicion of illegally poaching engineers from TSMC. [24] [ relevant? ]

In October 2022, Synopsys joined Intel's US Military Aerospace and Government Alliance (USMAG), under which Synopsys supplies secure EDA tools, IP, and design services for the US DoD and other government branches alongside other chip design companies including Cadence and Siemens EDA. [25] [26]

In August 2023, Synopsys named COO Sassine Ghazi as CEO. Ghazi succeeded Aart de Geus in January 2024, with de Geus transitioning to the role of executive chairman. [27] [28]

In November 2023, Synopsys launched Synopsys.ai Copilot in collaboration with Microsoft, leveraging large language models from OpenAI to accelerate the process of semiconductor chip design. [29]

In January 2024, Synopsys announced its intention to acquire engineering software company Ansys for $35 billion, in a move that would expand Synopsys' prominence in simulation software and systems design for chip designers, automobiles, airplanes. [30] The companies have had a research and development partnership since 2017. [28] [31]

In September 2024, Synopsys announced it would sell its optical systems division to Keysight Technologies to address regulatory concerns related to its proposed acquisition of Ansys. [32]

In October 2024, the private equity firms Clearlake Capital and Francisco Partners completed the acquisition of the Synopsys Software Integrity Group (SIG) to reestablish Black Duck Software as an independent standalone application security company; the transaction, first announced in May 2024, was valued at up to $2.1 billion, including $475 million in cash. [33]

Mergers and acquisitions

Synopsys has made some silicon and design verification acquisitions. [34]

CoWare

CoWare development was initiated by the Interuniversity Microelectronics Centre in Belgium as an internal project in 1992; [35] it spun off as an independent company, supplying platform-driven electronic system-level (ESL) design software and services, four years later. [36] [37] CoWare was acquired by Synopsys in February 2010. [38] [39]

Code Dx

Code Dx was an American software technology company active from 2015 to 2021. The company's self-titled flagship product is a vulnerability management system that combines and correlates the results generated by a wide variety of static and dynamic testing tools. It was acquired by Synopsys in 2021. [40]

Avanti Corporation

Avanti Corporation (styled as "Avant!") was founded when several former Cadence Design Systems employees bought the startup ArcSys, which was previously merged with Integrated Silicon Solutions (ISS), [41] gaining Avanti its design rule checking and layout versus schematic tool Hercules (including 3D silicon structure modeling). Avanti then bought Compass Design Automation, which had fully integrated IC design flow and ASIC libraries, especially its place and route tool, which Avanti reworked to create Saturn and Apollo II. Avanti also bought TMA (Technology Modeling Associates) which brought its pioneering TCAD and Proteus optical proximity correction tools. The acquisition of Avanti was Synopsys' most significant and controversial acquisition. At the time, Avanti was the No. 4 company in the EDA industry, and was struggling with a major lawsuit from Cadence for software theft. [42] Avanti was merged into Synopsys on June 6, 2002, during the litigation. Synopsys paid Cadence about $265 million to end that litigation. Soon after the settlement, the California Supreme Court upheld the lower court's earlier decision. Synopsys then paid $26.1 million to Silvaco to settle two of Silvaco's three lawsuits against Meta-Software, earlier purchased by Avanti, and its president. The lawsuits were filed in 1995 and inherited by Avanti. [43]

Magma Design Automation

Synopsys agreed to buy its competitor Magma Design Automation for about $500 million in an all-cash deal in November 2011. [44] [45]

The two companies previously faced drawn-out, back-and-forth patent disputes, which began in 2004. These disputes arose when Synopsys claimed one of Magma's co-founders, Lukas van Ginneken, developed technology for Magma products that was based on work he conducted while employed at Synopsys. While van Ginneken later acknowledged the claim, Magma and Synopsys continued disputing each other's patents. [46] The litigations were eventually settled in 2007, with Magma paying Synopsys $12.5 million, and the companies agreeing to cross-license the disputed patents to each other. [47] [48]
