Mentor Graphics and HP Team Up on Questa CDC Deployment

Business Wire
Mentor Graphics Corp. (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced that
Hewlett-Packard Co. has selected Questa® CDC as their
corporate-wide standard solution for clock-domain crossing (CDC)
verification and have successfully deployed the methodology across
multiple projects in collaboration with the Mentor® technology
experts.
“We are extremely pleased with the results of our work with
Mentor Graphics to deploy Questa CDC on our SoC designs,” stated
Bill Doss, ASIC program manager, Industry Standard Server Division,
HP. “Mentor’s industry-leading tools and highly skilled consultants
significantly matured our organization’s ability to perform
complete and accurate CDC verification. We are confident that we
are now rooting out all CDC problems early in the development
phase.”
HP develops some of the world’s most highly integrated
system-on-a-chip (SoC) designs that are in the range of hundreds of
millions of logic gates in size and contain hundreds of clock
domains. While the CDC verification challenges continue to mount,
technology companies such as HP face shrinking time-to-market
windows and cannot afford the risk of CDC design flaws leading to
silicon re-spins.
“The clocking complexity of our designs demands a rigorous
approach to CDC verification,” said Larry Hufty, ASIC program
manager, Networking Division, HP. “Mentor not only delivered the
best tools for the job, but also worked with us to define the
customized methodology that we needed to support our design
styles.”
Questa CDC is widely used as the gold-standard for CDC-signoff
checking before tapeout, and its versatility enables it to be
deployed across the full range of designs from SoCs to FPGAs
allowing for consistent, company-wide methodologies. Questa CDC is
one of many formal-based applications supported by the Questa
platform, that range from fully automatic formal checking that
everyone can easily use, to property checking with custom coded
assertions for advanced users. The Questa platform includes an
array of verification capabilities seamlessly blending simulation
and formal-based technologies with common compilation and user
interface features, as well as the Unified Coverage Database
(UCDB).
“The Questa CDC solution is comprehensive and continues to set
the standard for CDC verification best practices,” said Roger
Sabbagh, product marketing manager, Questa Formal-based
Technologies, Mentor Graphics. “Deploying Questa CDC in
collaboration with technology leaders like HP, on some of the
industry’s most progressive designs, helps us to continually
improve the tools and methodology.”
