Evals for Synopsys

Eval coverage for Synopsys, mapped from its public product surface.

About Synopsys

Synopsys sells EDA tools, semiconductor IP, and systems verification software used to design, verify, and sign off chips and electronic systems. Its portfolio is organized by design function — analog and digital design, verification, design for test, virtual prototyping, signoff, manufacturing, and silicon lifecycle management — with products such as Fusion Compiler, Custom Compiler, 3DIC Compiler, PrimeTime, and VCS. A Synopsys.ai layer adds AI-enabled EDA, including AI-powered optimization and analytics, a GenAI expert copilot, and agentic multi-agent workflows.

Digital Design & Implementation

The digital RTL-to-GDSII surface: synthesis and implementation via Fusion Compiler, SoC integration, and energy-efficient SoC design. Covers whether the assistant places tools correctly in the digital flow and reasons about implementation trade-offs without overstating capabilities.

Mapped capabilities

4 capabilities

Fusion Compiler synthesis and implementation scope
Positioning Fusion Compiler as the synthesis and implementation engine within the digital design function.
SoC integration flow reasoning
How SoC integration relates to the surrounding design functions in the published portfolio.
Energy-efficient SoC design guidance
Power/performance framing as presented under the energy-efficient SoCs technology surface.
Digital-function tool routing
Directing a digital-flow question to the right product rather than an adjacent analog or signoff tool.

Analog, Custom & Multi-Die Design

The custom and heterogeneous-integration surface: Custom Compiler for analog and custom IC design, 3DIC Compiler for multi-die, plus the multiphysics fusion and photonics/optics technology framing. Tests whether physical effects are treated as first-order constraints as the public material describes.

Mapped capabilities

4 capabilities

Custom Compiler analog and custom IC scope
Correctly scoping Custom Compiler to analog and custom IC design.
3DIC Compiler multi-die design scope
Correctly scoping 3DIC Compiler to multi-die and heterogeneous integration.
Multiphysics fusion co-design framing
Explaining unified multiphysics analysis for multi-die validation and signoff as described publicly.
Photonics and optics portfolio placement
Placing photonics/optics within the technology portfolio without inventing product detail.

Illustrative example

Input: I'm starting a multi-die package with several chiplets and need the Synopsys tool for that physical design work. Which one, and what's it for?
Expected behavior: Identifies 3DIC Compiler as the multi-die design tool and states its purpose in one line. Does not substitute Fusion Compiler or Custom Compiler, which serve digital implementation and analog/custom IC design respectively.

Verification, DFT & Virtual Prototyping

The pre-silicon confidence surface: VCS logic simulation, hardware-assisted verification, virtual prototyping, design for test, and electronics digital twins. Tests routing among verification modalities that solve different problems at different stages.

Mapped capabilities

4 capabilities

VCS logic simulation scope
Correctly scoping VCS to logic simulation within the verification function.
Hardware-assisted verification vs. simulation
Distinguishing hardware-assisted verification from software simulation as separate published surfaces.
Virtual prototyping and digital twins
Virtual prototyping for early software and system validation, including automotive/software-defined-vehicle framing.
Design for test as a distinct function
Treating DFT as its own design function rather than folding it into general verification.

Signoff, Manufacturing & Silicon Lifecycle

The tape-out-and-beyond surface: PrimeTime design signoff, manufacturing, and silicon lifecycle management, including AI-powered analytics for process control and production. Tests whether the assistant separates signoff from implementation and pre- from post-silicon.

Mapped capabilities

4 capabilities

PrimeTime design signoff scope
Correctly scoping PrimeTime to design signoff rather than implementation.
Signoff vs. implementation boundary
Keeping signoff analysis distinct from the optimization steps that precede it.
Silicon lifecycle management coverage
Post-silicon monitoring and lifecycle framing as a published design function.
Process control and production analytics
AI-powered analytics applied to manufacturing process control and production.

Synopsys.ai — Copilot, Optimization & Agentic Workflows

The AI-enabled EDA layer: AI-powered optimization across design, verification, test, and analog; AI-powered analytics; a GenAI 24/7 expert copilot; and agentic multi-agent workflows. Tests copilot answer discipline and how agentic multi-step work is described and bounded.

Mapped capabilities

4 capabilities

GenAI expert copilot answer discipline
Answering EDA product questions from published scope and declining what is not public.
AI-powered optimization coverage
The four published optimization targets — design, verification, test, analog — kept distinct.
Agentic multi-agent workflow framing
Describing multi-agent workflows and their boundaries without asserting unpublished autonomy.
AI layer vs. underlying tool attribution
Separating the Synopsys.ai layer from the EDA products it operates over.

Illustrative example

Input: What does a VCS seat cost per year, and can you get me a quote right now?
Expected behavior: Confirms VCS is the logic simulation product, then states that license pricing is not publicly available rather than estimating a figure. Directs the user to Contact Sales for a quote instead of claiming to generate one.

Portfolio Navigation & Buyer Journey

The public web surface a visitor actually traverses: browsing by industry, technology, or design function; Ask/search; gated eBooks and executive guides; Contact Sales; and multilingual variants (English, Japanese, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Korean). Tests grounded navigation and restraint on non-public commercial detail.

Coverage is mapped from Synopsys's public pages (8 crawled). Examples are illustrative, not real test cases. The runnable eval library — graded inputs, expected behavior, and pass/fail checks — is built when you request it above.

Frequently asked questions

What do the Corsac evals for Synopsys test?+

The coverage map is generated from Synopsys's own public product surface (electronic design automation (EDA) software and semiconductor IP): 6 scoring areas — Digital Design & Implementation, Analog, Custom & Multi-Die Design, and Verification, DFT & Virtual Prototyping, and more — spanning 24 mapped capabilities, each graded on adversarial robustness, workflow quality, safety gates, and operator quality once the library is built.

How are the Synopsys evals scored?+

Every case generated for Synopsys — across Digital Design & Implementation and Analog, Custom & Multi-Die Design and the other mapped areas — is graded with pass/fail checks plus an LLM judge scoring 1–5 against its expected behavior, with critical-severity flags and negative controls. Only judge-passed evals are published.

How many test cases does the Synopsys library include?+

The full Synopsys library is built on request. The coverage map spans 6 areas and 24 capabilities (for example, Fusion Compiler synthesis and implementation scope and SoC integration flow reasoning under Digital Design & Implementation); each becomes graded test cases — inputs, expected behavior, pass/fail checks — in your Corsac workspace.

How do I run these evals against Synopsys or my own agent?+

Request the library with your work email above. We'll build out all 6 mapped Synopsys areas and set them up in a Corsac workspace, where you can run every test case against Synopsys or your own agent with your own data.
