SmartDV Releases Portfolio of Verification Intellectual Properties that Support Platform-independent Simulation Acceleration (SimXL)

February 25, 2016

SAN DIEGO, CA – February 26, 2016 – Simulation is becoming a major bottleneck in the development of large, complex system-on-chip (SoC) designs. Verification is taking longer and simulations are running slower as design complexity is increasing. Simulation acceleration combines functional simulation with emulation hardware and delivers the performance needed for validating today’s complex designs, including billion-gate SoCs. But without easy porting from a simulation flow to an acceleration flow, productivity gains are swallowed up by additional engineering resource utilization and an increase in overall SoC validation time, badly impacting time to market.
