Aldec Unwraps SoC/ASIC Verification Platform at ‘Verification Futures 2012’ in Europe

Basingstoke, United Kingdom – December 3, 2012 – Aldec, Inc. joined other top-tier EDA solution providers at the successful Verification Futures conference held in the United Kingdom. Aldec’s recently launched HES-7™ ASIC prototyping solution coupled with its HES-DVMTM emulation platform was well-received by conference attendees for its ability to accommodate up to 96 million ASIC gates and provide SoC software engineers with an early hardware platform to facilitate efficient software/hardware co-design and co-verification. 

Known as ‘The Design Verification Company’, Aldec was on hand to share solutions to the top EDA challenges identified by the user community. During the conference, Aldec Hardware Division Sr. Application Engineer, Jacek Majkowski, further detailed hot-topic solutions with a paper on Platform Validation. Mr. Majkowski shared customer case studies citing successful deployment of Aldec’s HES-DVM emulation platform using SCE-MI 2.0 transactor co-verification methodologies for early validation of next-generation SoC designs.

Dr. Mike Bartley, founder and CEO of event organizer Test and Verification Solutions (TVS), commented, “The increasing importance of verification methodologies, and the need for more ‘intelligent’ verification cycles, was highlighted by a number of vendors and delegates. It was particularly useful to have Aldec here to explain how their products meet these challenges. Users also liked the ability of Aldec’s technology to take them from simulation to emulation using a common testbench.”

Dave Rinehart, Aldec Vice President, added, “We would like to congratulate TVS on the great success of Verification Futures which included participants from 200 companies in 27 countries. As Aldec is a customer-focused organization, receiving direct feedback in an open peer-to-peer forum was valuable and will contribute to our future development plans as we strive to meet our customers’ growing verification requirements.”

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.
