As one of the cornerstones of the semiconductor industry, the EDA industry is thriving. According to the prediction of the China Semiconductor Industry Association, the size of China's EDA software market will reach 18.49 billion yuan in 2025, with an average compound annual growth rate of 14.71% from 2020 to 2025.

Regarding the current development trend of the domestic EDA industry, He Peixin, CTO of Hejian Industrial Software, stated, "On the one hand, large-scale chip design companies in China are growing rapidly, and the annual compound growth rate of the Chinese EDA market has also exceeded the growth rate of the global EDA market. However, on the other hand, the domestic EDA industry still faces some challenges

He Peixin believes that the challenges that the domestic EDA industry needs to overcome include high technical barriers, high investment, and limited technical talent. In addition, currently, domestic EDA companies mainly focus on single point tools and lack experience in mergers and acquisitions as well as the construction of industrial upstream and downstream ecological construction, so they rarely cover the entire process of the tool chain.

According to He Peixin, in order to address the above challenges, Hejian Industrial Software adheres to the multi-dimensional evolution strategy of new domestic EDA and has carried out a series of layouts. Firstly, we will continue to carry out technological innovation, recruit internationally renowned experts, and cultivate a domestic talent pool.

Secondly, build an industrial ecosystem. We need to be able to achieve collaborative design not only for chips, but also for upstream systems, downstream packaging, and PCBs. We also need to ensure that the entire design process can converge and optimize collaboratively. Hejian Industrial Software needs to create a tool chain for the entire process, so we will continue to seek opportunities for mergers and acquisitions and integration, "He Peixin said.

He Peixin revealed that under the guidance of such a strategy, Hejian Industrial Software has made significant progress in the past two years, with a 5-15 fold increase in the number of employees, products, and research and development institutions. In terms of product lines, Hejian Gongsoft has also grown from a single digital simulator product line (UniVistaSimulator) to multiple product lines.

The strategy of Hejian Gongsoft is to provide comprehensive and multi-dimensional tools to thoroughly help domestic chip design companies and system design companies solve the challenges they face in their business processes, achieve joint optimization, and ensure that the results of the tools can converge, especially in terms of performance and energy efficiency, "He Peixin said.

Based on the multi-dimensional evolution product strategy, Hejian Industrial Software has recently released a series of EDA and IP products, including the test vector automatic generation tool UniVistaTespertATPG, the commercial level full scenario verification hardware system UniVistaUnifiedVerificationHardwareSystem, the virtual prototype design and simulation kit UniVistaV-Builder/vSpace, the complete solution for nationwide produced PCIe Gen5 UniVistaPCIe Gen5IP, and the new generation electronic system development and management platform UniVistaEDMPro.

For example, as a newly announced commercial grade full scenario verification hardware system, UniVistaUnifiedVerificationHardwareSystem (UVHS) is an innovative high-performance, high-capacity dedicated hardware acceleration platform for full scenario verification. It integrates the self-developed full process timing driven intelligent compilation software UVHSCompiler, which can run in different modes such as simulation or prototyping in a single verification EDA system, To address the full scenario requirements brought by complex and diverse SoC software and hardware verification tasks. At present, this product has successfully completed the actual commercial deployment of over 6 billion gates in mainstream large chip projects of multiple customers, and achieved successful chip iteration.

He Peixin told reporters that these five different products can cover five dimensions, namely system, IP, implementation, validation, and core/packaging/PCB. Combining the three major tools previously launched, Hejian Industrial Software is gradually deepening the multidimensional evolution strategy of new domestic EDA.
