Synopsys has bought leading UK verification tool developer Imperas for an undisclosed sum.

The deal closed on December 12th and sees Imperas joins the Systems Software Group (part of the Systems Design Group) at Synopsys. Financial terms are not being disclosed, but founder and former CEO Simon Davidmann (above) said “we are all happy here in Synopsys and smiling a lot.”

An initial statement from Synopsys focussed on the recent move into verification and modelling IP for RISC-V for virtual prototyping, given its recent launch of a family of RISC-V processor cores,  but brushed over the strong position that Imperas has developed for ARM technology.

“With the move towards software-defined products in multiple markets like automotive, consumer and HPC, both system and semiconductor companies are designing custom compute solutions optimized for specific software workloads,” Ravi Subramanian, General Manager, Systems Design Group, Synopsys told eeNews Europe.

“By acquiring Imperas, Synopsys is enhancing both its virtual prototyping and hardware-assisted verification solutions with ultra-fast processor modeling technologies for ARM and RISC-V CPUs. The joint solution enables earlier software development and testing, as well as accelerate validation of CPU-centric systems.”
