MEMORY VERIFICATION IP OFFERING SUPPORTS THIRD-PARTY SIMULATORS

摘要

Today's typical system-on-a-chip (SoC)designs comprise a large number of standard protocols and memories. Standard or not, these intellectual property (IP) blocks require verification, and doing the job from scratch takes lots of time, effort, and expertise. Verification IP (VIP), as opposed to design IP, aids in this effort by automating the verification process.In the wake of its acquisition of Dena-li, Cadence has rolled out the Cadence VIP Catalog combined VIP offering. The Cadence VIP Catalog fits under the umbrella of the company's larger EDA360 vision, which goes beyond traditional EDA tool flows that concentrate on the design of physical silicon to a broader system-level focus. The VIP offering brings capabilities that extend into that svstem-level realm.
