According to industry pundits, FPGAs take forever to compile and have internal timing problems. ASICs, on the other hand, are power-hungry and require longer development time. When it comes to ...

Best-in-Class organizations are three times more likely to leverage solutions for network simulation and emulation than Laggards, according to data from Aberdeen Group’s February benchmark report, ...

The speed of today's software simulators varies widely, depending on the type of simulator, the performance and memory capacity of the workstation, and the size of the simulated model. Although ...

In regard to network testing, the terms emulation and simulation are often used interchangeably. In most cases, either term will generally get the point across, but there’s a big difference between a ...

Using a combination of simulation and emulation can be beneficial to an SoC design project, but it isn’t always easy. As electronic products shift from hardware-centric to software-directed, design ...

Chip designs today have more functionality, more black-boxed intellectual property (IP) and shorter tape-out schedules. However, they require even more design verification than in the past, which ...

It wasn’t that many years ago that was an expensive tool available to only a few, but it has since become indispensable for a growing number of companies. One obvious reason is the growing size of ...

R>epresenting a multifunction verification platform that provides both simulation acceleration and in-circuit emulation capabilities, the Palladium ASIC design ...

Claiming to be the industry's most advanced simulation acceleration and in-circuit emulation system, the Palladium combines a scalable simulation and emulation hardware architecture with an integrated ...

Two trends are conspiring to make complex modern chip development more and more difficult: the increasing amount of software content required for what are essentially monolithic embedded systems, and ...
