Customers designing custom ASICs, such as those used in wireless communications, networking and graphics-processing applications, can use this ultra-high-capacity prototyping board to verify their logic designs and run them at near real-time clock speeds.
Tokyo Electron Device Unveils of 3 inrevium FPGA PCI Express Platforms
Tokyo Electron Device Limited (TED) has announced the release of three inrevium Virtex®-5 High-Density PCI Express Platforms. These PCI Express Gen 1 & 2 capable platforms utilize Xilinx Virtex-5 LX330T, SX240T and FX200T FPGAs, the highest density FPGAs available. "In recent years, high performance embedded systems require FPGAs with higher speed, density and performance," said Yasuo Hatsumi, Director and Xilinx Product Manager, PLD Solution Division of TED. "Further, with shorter product life cycles, customers demand FPGA evaluation platforms that are flexible and meet diversified needs."
Aldec Mixed-Language HDL Simulator to Support OVM 2.0
Aldec, Inc., a leader in mixed-language HDL simulation for ASIC and FPGA devices, is pleased to announce that it is now an official partner on OVM World, the community site for the Open Verification Methodology (OVM). This partnership will enable Aldec to offer support for OVM 2.0, the first open, language-interoperable verification methodology, co-developed by Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS). This OVM-based release of the Aldec mixed-language HDL simulator will provide the OVM community additional choices and further reinforce the value of a widely supported open-source methodology. Aldec plans to integrate OVM 2.0 into its common-kernel, mixed-language, HDL simulator on the Windows® and Linux® 32/64 platforms.
