Veloce Strato delivers seamless simulation acceleration to verification engineers

Recognizing a growing market demand for ease-of-migration technologies for emulation, Siemens EDA’s Veloce platform has developed products to close the divide between simulation and emulation and revolutionize this industry segment. And while accomplishing this feat, Veloce Strato still provides high throughput and a guided path for even higher acceleration. This paper examines how, through the innovative toolset of the Veloce product portfolio, engineers can significantly reduce the overhead that the move from simulation to emulation ordinarily generates.

Veloce Strato helps make verification engineers more productive and bring products to market faster

The productivity wishes of verification engineers include:

• Receiving emulation results quickly, with little or no
  effort

• Having a way to improve execution speed

• Realizing the fastest possible turnaround when the
  DUT changes

• Using one set of fast, productive, interoperable debug tools for both simulation and emulation

The fulfillment of these wishes allows designers and verification engineers to remain focused on verification instead of the verification environment’s
overhead.

Veloce Strato fulfills these needs today

Siemens EDA has engineered solutions for these
important requirements into the Veloce Strato emulation environment, allowing verification engineers to migrate their simulation environments quickly and achieve acceleration via emulation.

‘Bring-up’ mode for quicker emulation bringup

Veloce Strato has a new bring-up mode that facilitates faster first emulation bringup by relaxing some of the requirements. The Veloce Strato bring-up mode
allows pin-level hierarchical references between testbench and DUT, and allows delay wait and @ statements.
