Mentor Graphics Delivers Emulation-Ready Transactors for the Accelerated Verification of SoCs

Business Wire
Mentor Graphics Corp. (NASDAQ:MENT), a leader in
high-performance system verification solutions, today announced the
availability of a set of protocol transactors for use with the
Veloce® hardware emulation platform. The Veloce transactors enable
the use of stimuli generated by modern simulation testbenches,
including SystemVerilog/OVM and UVM, SystemC, and ‘C’- based
environments, and apply them to the design-under-test (DUT) running
in the Veloce hardware. This allows engineers to stress-test a DUT
that includes one or more protocol interfaces on their SoC at
orders of magnitude faster than simulation. Since the connection
between the testbench and the Veloce transactors are at a
transaction-level, rather than signal interface, a high level of
performance is delivered.
The Veloce transactors provide protocol solutions for ARM’s AMBA
AXI, AHB, and APB standards, Universal Serial Bus (USB), PCI
Express, Serial Attached SCSI (SAS), SPI, I2C, and audio standards
including I2S. The ability to use the same testbench in both
simulation and emulation leverages testbench development across the
two platforms and accelerates design regression testing by hundreds
of times over simulation.
Veloce Transactors Deliver Productivity
The Veloce transactors are used as an essential part of the
strategy for verifying SoCs containing multiple protocol interfaces
on chip. Users can develop testbenches in one of several supported
high-level verification (HVL) environments, and then seamlessly
interchange between simulation and acceleration. This delivers an
effective and productive environment to develop new, leading-edge
SoCs and accelerates delivery schedules.
“Mentor has led the way for many years in the use of
accelerated, transaction-based verification of SoCs,” said Jim
Kenney, director of marketing, the Mentor® Emulation Division.
“This position is further enhanced by the new generation of
plug-and-play protocol solutions delivered with our Veloce
transactors, which are successfully deployed at world-leading
electronics companies. With the addition of Veloce transactors,
Mentor strengthens its position as the premier vendor for hardware
and software emulation solutions for networking, wireless,
multimedia, and storage applications.”
The Veloce transactors can be used with both transaction-based
acceleration and traditional In-Circuit (ICE) modes of operation.
The ability to mix and match ICE mode with high-performance
transaction-based acceleration demonstrates the Veloce product’s
key benefit as a software-configurable verification platform.
Product Availability
The solution is available for deployment at customer sites,
effective immediately.
