Content, now available, includes video from Synopsys co-CEO Aart de Geus discussing SNUG and new product introductions

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., April 23, 2020 — (PRNewswire) — Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS), in conjunction with the Technical Committee for the Synopsys Users Group (SNUG®) event in Silicon Valley, today announced the winners of the best paper awards for SNUG Silicon Valley 2020 and the online availability of content planned for the event.

SNUG, the industry's largest user conference, has provided Synopsys users with an opportunity to share experiences and learn about Synopsys' newest products, IP and future technology direction. 2020 marked the 30th anniversary of SNUG Silicon Valley; however, the decision was made to cancel the event due to measures necessitated by the global COVID-19 pandemic. Synopsys and the conference's Technical Committee are providing the conference papers and presentations to Synopsys users.  In addition, Synopsys co-CEO Aart de Geus recorded a message to share his thoughts about SNUG and new product introductions.

"SNUG has cultivated a spirit of community and innovation for 30 years," said Savita Banerjee, principal program manager at Microsoft and SNUG Silicon Valley Technical Committee chair. "It's an event I look forward to every year, not only to learn about interesting industry trends and disruptive technologies, but to also connect with the brightest minds that are shaping the tech landscape."

The SNUG Silicon Valley Technical Committee, which is comprised of 45 members from 25 different industry-leading corporations, selected three papers from the user-submitted content to receive SNUG Best Paper Awards based on technical merit, novelty and value to the user community. The winners are:

First Place:

Second Place:

"While SNUG was cancelled due to extenuating circumstances, preparations were well-underway," Banerjee said. "The impressive technical content, contributed by expert users spanning all facets of SoC development, had been carefully curated by the Technical Committee for months. Authors worked tirelessly to incorporate feedback from the Tech Committee and Synopsys reviewers to ensure content quality. We are delighted that Synopsys has decided to publish proceedings and acknowledge the authors of the three papers that received remarkable distinction."
