Mentor Graphics First to Provide Co-Verification Support for MIPS32 34K Multi-Threading Processor Cores

Mentor Graphics๏ฟฝ Corporation (Nasdaq:MENT) today announced a new
processor support package (PSP) for the MIPS32๏ฟฝ 34K๏ฟฝ family of
processor cores. Developed jointly with MIPS Technologies, this new
C-based PSP supports transaction-level (TLM) and register-transfer
level (RTL) simulation to give engineers a consistent platform upon
which to view, validate and co-verify the multi-threaded
hardware/software interactions occurring on the 34K processors.
Processing multiple software threads in parallel, the MIPS32 34K
cores deliver significant gains in system performance and cost
savings, with a very modest increase in die size. However, taking
full advantage of these capabilities requires a powerful
verification approach that allows designers to see parallel
operations simultaneously. ๏ฟฝIn multi-threaded processing, the
hardware/software interactions of the system become intensely
complex. Mentor Graphics๏ฟฝ processor support package gives our
customers insight into high-level activity across multiple threads,
as well as detailed activity on any single thread,๏ฟฝ said Jack
Browne, vice president of marketing at MIPS. ๏ฟฝThe result is a
design flow that makes it easier for our customers to maximize the
performance potential of applications based on our 34K processor
family.๏ฟฝ The cycle-accurate PSP for MIPS32 34K processors is
designed to work with the Mentor Graphics Seamless๏ฟฝ co-verification
tool, the first co-verification tool to support the 34K core
family. The Mentor Graphics solution supports detailed views of the
design, down to registers, system busses, and memory activity. The
new Seamless PSP also supports comprehensive views of a 34K core๏ฟฝs
virtual processing elements (VPEs) and thread contexts (TCs) to
simplify verification and debug of software execution in a
multi-threading system which can even include multiple operating
systems running on a single 34K core. These capabilities enable
engineers to optimize system performance and resolve
hardware/software integration problems early in the design cycle,
avoiding late-stage silicon re-spins that can cost millions of
dollars. ๏ฟฝMentor Graphics teams with industry-leading CPU vendors
like MIPS Technologies to help our mutual customers maximize the
value of their processor investments,๏ฟฝ said Serge Leef, general
manager of the System-Level Engineering Division at Mentor
Graphics. ๏ฟฝWith this Mentor/MIPS combination, hardware engineers
get a consistent, efficient system validation and co-verification
platform that they can leverage throughout their electronic system
level (ESL) and traditional RTL design processes.๏ฟฝ Availability The
Seamless PSP for the MIPS32 34K family is currently available from
Mentor Graphics. For technical and pricing information, please
