Mentor Graphics Corp. (NASDAQ: MENT), the leader in
high-performance system verification solutions, today announced
that MIPS Technologies, a leading microprocessor semiconductor IP
company, has adopted the Veloce® platform for the complete
system-level verification of its licensable microprocessor cores
that are used in a variety of embedded applications. MIPS® cores
are used prominently by other Veloce platform users such as NXP
Semiconductors, a leading supplier of digital TV SoCs. MIPS
Technologies chose the Veloce platform due to its superior debug
capabilities, performance, accuracy, and extensive portfolio of
iSolve™ vertical market solutions.
“As a technology leader in embedded processor IP, MIPS has
successfully leveraged Veloce on several of our recent IP
development projects—including the multi-threaded, multi-core 1004K
Coherent Processing System—to verify new cores before releasing
them to customers,” said Larry Hudepohl, vice president of
engineering for MIPS Technologies. “We use Veloce extensively in an
in-circuit emulation mode and for simulation acceleration. The
Mentor emulation team helped us tremendously in making an easy
transition to the Veloce platform from our previous systems.”
The Veloce platform is the industry’s fastest dual-mode
Accelerator/Emulator available, providing MHz performance for both
transaction-based verification and traditional in-circuit emulation
(ICE). With an extensive portfolio of vertical market solutions,
the Veloce platform is the platform of choice for multimedia,
networking, wireless, and embedded systems applications.
“We have worked closely with MIPS Technologies for many years to
provide the best possible emulation solution that meets their needs
and addresses the challenges the company faces in verifying
processor designs,” said Eric Selosse, vice president and general
manager, Mentor Emulation Division. “To support the large and
growing base of MIPS licensees, we will soon announce new products
supporting MIPS processor cores.”
“NXP continues to drive system-level integration to provide
advanced solutions to our customers,” said Iqbal
Sharif, general manager, SoC Design Centre of the home
business unit, NXP Semiconductors. “Pre- and post-silicon testing
of our SoCs requires a massive number of verification cycles to
validate functionality and avoid design flaws. The use of Veloce
for hardware-assisted verification has played an important role for
NXP to achieve the high-speed verification and testing required.
This ultimately enables us to beat our tight schedules in a
highly-competitive market. NXP is the first to introduce a global
single chip digital TV platform on 45nm—TV550—which enables
high-end TV features in mainstream TVs.”
