EVE Introduces ZeBu-AX Next-Generation Hardware Accelerator
EVE, supplier of the broadest selection of hardware-assisted verification solutions including acceleration, fast emulation and prototyping, unveiled ZeBu-AX, the next-generation hardware accelerator, designed for ease of use and offering close to unlimited capacity. ZeBu-AX has become part of EVE's family of hardware-assisted verification solutions through EVE's recent acquisition of Tharas Systems Inc. A full product roadmap with details about its family of accelerators to fast emulators and prototyping solutions will be unveiled in June 2007.
EVE will demonstrate its entire ZeBu — for Zero Bugs — product family in Stand M37 during Design Automation and Test in Europe (DATE) 07 this week at the Nice Acropolis in Nice, France.
"ZeBu-AX is the first collaboration with our combined development team and it's a momentous achievement," says Dr. Luc Burgun, EVE's chief executive officer and president. "Research has shown that hardware acceleration continues to be an essential component of a design flow. ZeBu-AX's flexibility, capacity and ease of use will ensure that it becomes the de facto standard in hardware acceleration."
ZeBu-AX offers plug-and-play, event-accurate mixed-language simulation acceleration. A scalable capacity lets ZeBu-AX handle designs that can reach up to 512-million application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) gates. Its one-pass compilation executes at a speed of 125-million ASIC gates per hours on a single workstation, mapping onto the accelerator not only the design-under-test but also a significant portion of the behavioral testbench. The process is fully automatic and does not require user intervention.
Its single-kernel runtime environment works in co-simulation with Synopsys VCS(R), Mentor Graphics QuestaSim(R), Cadence NC-Sim(R). It accelerates simulation from 10 to 1,000 times faster than any hardware description language (HDL) simulator. ZeBu-AX can manage especially large designs typical of graphics and processors designs that most HDL simulators cannot support.
Pricing and Availability
ZeBu-AX supports RedHat and Suse Linux platforms. Pricing starts at $100,000.
