WILSONVILLE, Ore., Feb. 16, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Mentor
Graphics® Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced the
Veloce® Strato™ emulation platform. The Veloce Strato
platform is Mentor's third generation data-center friendly
emulation platform, and the only emulation platform on the market
with full scalability across both software and hardware. As
part of the announcement, Mentor® is launching the
Veloce StratoM high-capacity emulator and Veloce Strato OS
enterprise-level operating system.
The new Veloce Strato emulation platform marks a strategic
milestone in Mentor's five-year and beyond emulation roadmap.
The Veloce Strato platform further demonstrates how Mentor
continues to pioneer all facets of hardware emulation with the
largest portfolio of use models (Apps), best total throughput,
fastest co-model bandwidth and time-to-visibility and plans for
highest effective capacity (up to 15BG) available.
The Veloce StratoM, which is currently on site at major
customers, reaches 2.5BG capacity when fully loaded, and with
Veloce Strato link, total capacity is increased based on number of
connected emulators. The Veloce StratoM has available slots
for 64 Advanced Verification Boards (AVBs) and fully loaded
consumes up to 50KW (22.7 W/Mgate) of power. Other
performance improvements include: total throughput up to 5X
(fastest compile-runtime-debug sequence), time to visibility up to
10X (fastest time to debug), compilation time up to 3X (with 100%
success rate) and co-model bandwidth up to 3X (fastest virtual
co-model solution available).
The Veloce Strato OS enterprise-level operating system forms the
foundation for a common infrastructure for all Veloce Strato
hardware and software applications. The Veloce Strato OS is
hardware-platform independent so that Veloce Apps and Protocol
Solutions are interchangeable between hardware platforms.
This includes Veloce Apps such as the popular and recognized Veloce
Power App, Veloce DFT App and Protocol Solutions such as Veloce
VirtuaLAB (virtual peripherals), iSolve™ (physical peripherals) and
soft models. The modular Veloce Strato OS is architected to serve
as a common front-end for a full range of solutions providing a
cohesive and cost-effective approach spanning verification through
prototyping and validation.
"We are excited to announce the new Veloce Strato Platform, and
equally delighted that Veloce StratoM is already in the hands of
our largest customers," said Eric
Selosse, vice president and general manager of the Mentor
Emulation Division. "Early feedback is very positive, and there is
clear indication that the Veloce Strato platform defines a roadmap
to 15BG that is needed for the emulation market for the next five
years and beyond."
About the Veloce Emulation platform
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 greatly expands the ability of project teams to do
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 both user
productivity and total verification return on investment.
