Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS), the leader in global
electronic design innovation, today announced availability of a new
single-license model that grants verification teams access to the
extensive Cadence� Incisive� Verification IP (VIP) Portfolio.
The single-license model provides verification teams flexible,
cost-effective access to Open Verification Methodology
(OVM)-compliant, multi-language VIP for dozens of commonly used
protocols.
Under the new model, users purchase a single license to get
access to the growing library of metric-driven and assertion-based
verification IP from Cadence. This single license can be used to
check-out any of the Cadence VIP resources into a user's
verification environment and can be reconfigured on a
moment-to-moment basis, providing access to new technologies and
protocol VIP as they are released. VIP implementation services are
available to further speed time to productivity.
"The flexibility of a single multi-language VIP Portfolio that
can be used for a variety of protocols and technologies as needed
on a daily basis allows SiRF to optimize our verification IP
investment," said Mohammed E. Haque, ASIC DV lead at SiRF
Technology. "The ability to draw on one license for new protocols
and features as needed speeds productivity and allows earlier
verification of new IPs."
Cadence VIP supports protocols used widely in wireless,
networking, storage, multimedia, and automotive technologies.
Having the full force of the broad Cadence portfolio of VIP at
their fingertips will help system-on-chip (SoC) integrators quickly
build and regress verification environments and take advantage of
the deep specification expertise built into each Cadence VIP
component. When deployed with Incisive Enterprise Simulator or
Incisive Enterprise Specman Elite� Testbench, Incisive Formal
Verifier, and Incisive Enterprise Manager in concert with the
unique metric-driven Compliance Management System, VIP Portfolio
users can increase their confidence that their SoC will meet
protocol standards.
"The introduction of portfolio licensing for Incisive VIP is a
significant step forward in providing easier-to-implement,
OVM-enabled, metric-driven verification methodology," said Michal
Siwinski, marketing group director of Enterprise Verification at
Cadence. "We believe that out-of-the-box solutions such as Incisive
verification IP will help our customers meet their end-users'
growing demands for predictable time to market and quality, while
improving engineering team productivity."
Also today, Cadence announced the release of open source
libraries for e and SystemC languages to support the Open
Verification Methodology (OVM), extending the OVM beyond
SystemVerilog support.
