Mentor Graphics Launches Next Generation Veloce2 Emulation Platform with VirtuaLAB Capabilities

Business Wire
Mentor Graphics Corp. (NASDAQ:MENT), a leader in
high-performance system verification solutions, today announced the
availability of the Veloce®2 platform, the next-generation of
emulation solutions for the verification of electronic system and
Systems on Chip (SoC) designs. Built to accommodate up to two
billion gate designs, the Veloce2 platform delivers twice the
performance, twice the capacity and four times productivity gain in
the same footprint and power consumption as the first-generation
Veloce platform. In addition, a new concept called Veloce VirtuaLAB
gives verification engineers access to easy-to-use, software-based
peripherals, connected to the Veloce platform, which provide a
“virtual lab” environment to verify complex electronics systems
including the embedded software and the SoCs that make up the
system prior to first silicon availability.
Veloce2 is built upon the totally new, full custom emulation IC,
Crystal2, developed from the ground up by Mentor. Delivering fast
compile, full debug visibility, and advanced memory modeling,
Crystal2 is at the heart of the Veloce2 platform’s performance and
capacity gains. The Crystal-based Veloce architecture is highly
scalable with impressive performance and capacity gains in the same
physical footprint and power signature.
The Veloce2 software suite is backward compatible with
first-generation Veloce emulators, boosting the productivity of
current Veloce customers and preserving their investment while
extending the useful life of their Veloce hardware. Future
generations of Veloce will adhere to this common software
philosophy, making Veloce emulators an excellent long-term
investment.
The Veloce VirtuaLAB builds on the emulator’s ability to run
hardware designs written in RTL at megahertz speeds. By integrating
RTL models of key peripherals like USB, Ethernet, PCIe and the
like, the Veloce VirtuaLAB is able to create a full target
environment that allows developers to validate both the hardware
and embedded software, before any hardware is manufactured. This
significantly accelerates product development cycles. Because the
Veloce VirtuaLAB is entirely software-based, it is easily
replicated to support multiple software and hardware developers
simultaneously. Previously, system developers had to connect
physical peripherals to the emulator via hardware speed adaptors,
making the process cumbersome and expensive to support multiple
users simultaneously. In effect, Veloce VirtuaLAB takes the
emulator out of the lab environment and moves it into a data center
environment where the resource can be shared across multiple
projects and geographies. Veloce VirtuaLAB peripherals are
available for most popular protocols, such as multimedia
video/audio standards, Gigabit Ethernet, USB, PCI Express, SATA,
and SAS with more to come.
The fourfold productivity increase of Veloce2 in concert with
VirtuaLAB peripherals provides an ideal environment for software
and hardware engineers to verify the embedded software and SoC
components of a variety of products such as high-end CPUs, network
switches/routers, digital set-top boxes, tablet PCs, netbooks,
smartphones, digital cameras and other electronic products.
“Mentor is once again leading the way in emulation by delivering
pioneering solutions that can be easily used and expanded across
multiple design teams for the verification of complex electronic
systems,” said Eric Selosse, vice president and general manager of
the Mentor® Emulation Division. “Veloce2 and VirtuaLAB, our
next-generation of plug-and-play peripherals, further enhance our
position as the premier vendor of complete emulation
solutions.”
