Mentor Graphics Donates Veloce Emulator to Portland State University

Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ:MENT) today announced it has
donated a Veloce® Solo emulator to Portland State University (PSU),
and has worked with the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE)
department at PSU to integrate hardware assisted (emulation)
technology information into both the upper division undergraduate
and graduate curriculum.
In integrated circuit design, hardware emulation is the process
of imitating the behavior of one or more pieces of hardware with
another piece of hardware, typically a special purpose emulation
system. The goal is normally debugging of the system being
designed. Often an emulator is fast enough to be plugged into a
working target system in place of a yet-to-be-built chip, so the
whole system can be debugged with live data.
“As electronic systems move aggressively toward increased
complexity, there becomes a greater demand for design verification
and validation engineers,” said Renjeng Su, Dean of the Maseeh
College of Engineering and Computer Science, Portland State
University. “With Mentor’s help, we’ve developed much more
sophisticated design examples and labs that allow our students to
learn cutting-edge verification methods and tools. This means they
enter the workforce with real-world experience.”
At PSU some undergraduates, and many graduate students, take an
ASIC design course and the graduate students follow that with an
ASIC verification course. These two courses were chosen to
introduce hardware emulation into the curriculum because of the
natural fit with the current content and because of the relatively
large enrollment in those classes. In the Fall of 2010, PSU added
coverage of hardware emulation in a graduate course in high-level
synthesis and design automation.
“The faculty in the Electrical and Computer Engineering
department teaches advanced methods, but until recently their
design examples were limited to the component level or descriptions
of systems at a low level of complexity,” said Greg Hinckley,
president and COO at Mentor Graphics. “With the joint efforts of
PSU and Mentor, we have been able to bring the necessary tools and
expertise together to raise the level of complexity of classroom
examples and challenge the students to achieve a higher level of
learning.”
