WILSONVILLE, Ore., March 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Mentor
Graphics Corp. (NASDAQ: MENT), today announced that the HPE
ProLiant DL380 Gen9 and HPE ProLiant DL580 Gen9 servers from
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) have been qualified for use with
the Veloce® emulation platform. Use of these servers, combined with
recent updates to the Veloce OS3 operating system, has reduced the
compile time for the Veloce platform by up to 50 percent.
The rigorous qualification process defined by Mentor confirms
the low-latency, high-bandwidth communication between the HPE
ProLiant DL380 Gen9 and the Veloce emulator, where the HPE ProLiant
DL380 Gen9 servers function as the co-model and run-time hosts in a
Veloce configuration. The HPE ProLiant DL580 Gen9 server
functions as the compile server and is qualified and tuned to
significantly reduce end-to-end Veloce compile time.
"The hardware qualification process is part of our commitment to
customers to make the installation and use of the Veloce platform
as rapid and issue-free as possible," said Eric Selosse, vice president and general manager
of the Mentor Emulation Division.
The HPE ProLiant Gen9 rack server portfolio offers flexibility
and enhanced system performance to run compute-intensive workloads
in any environment. Built for general purpose compute, the HPE
ProLiant DL380 Gen9 Server delivers exceptional performance and
expandability in the HPE 2P rack portfolio to provide customers
with sustained reliability, serviceability and availability. The
four-socket HPE ProLiant DL580 Gen9 server, designed for
data-intensive workloads, offers dependable performance for
mission-critical enterprises, business intelligence and database
applications.
"The qualification of the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 and HPE
ProLiant DL580 Gen9 servers used in a Veloce platform configuration
means mutual customers can get up and running quickly," said
Susan Blocher, global vice
president, Servers Marketing, HPE. "The rigorous
qualification process also means that HPE hardware design teams are
aware of any new requirements at the early stages of hardware
development."

The Veloce emulation platform uses innovative software, running
on powerful, qualified hardware and an extensible operating system,
to target design risks faster than hardware-centric strategies. Now
considered among the most versatile and powerful of verification
tools, emulation is used by project teams for hardware debugging,
hardware/software co-verification or integration, system-level
prototyping, low-power verification and power estimation and
performance characterization.
The Veloce emulation platform is a core technology in the
Mentor® Enterprise Verification Platform™ (EVP) – a platform that
boosts productivity in ASIC and SoC functional verification by
combining advanced verification technologies in a comprehensive
platform. The Mentor EVP combines Questa® advanced verification
solutions, the Veloce emulation platform, and the Visualizer™ debug
environment into a globally accessible, high-performance,
datacenter resource. The Mentor EVP features global resource
management that supports project teams around the world, maximizing
