Cadence Design Systems has upgraded its Palladium emulators to a maximum capacity of 2.3 billion gates and 50 per cent higher performance.

Prakash Narain of Real Intent on SoC sign-off, static verification, interoperability, predictability, ROI and more.

DAC 2013's technical program has four sessions on innovation for verification. Some of the hot topics being covered include 3DIC and analog.

Test and Verification Solutions has expanded its library of verification IP to cover protocols in MIPI, memories, serial IO and communication.

FinFETs, ever proliferating verification, 3DIC, security and more feature on our guide to some of the most intriguing panels at DAC 2013.

Accellera Systems Initiative has created a working group to look at one of the knottiest problems in IC design: to simplify the job of checking designs when the bits come from so many sources and use languages that were not built for interoperability.

Chip-design teams are running into problems with verification because they are focused too much on tools and not enough on processes, Mentor Graphics chief scientist Harry Foster explained today at the first of a series of Verification Futures seminars hosted by TVS in Europe this week.

The EDA giant fills out its prototyping and verification line-up with a long-mooted acquisition, and is set to become the first of the 'big three' to offer an in-house soup-to-nuts flow.

UCIS 1.0 will provide a common format to analyze and compare data from different vendors' tools. Yup, it's a 'Biden' of a deal.

Mentor Graphics has updated its Veloce emulator, using a newly developed chip to double capacity while, at the same time, developing new software to overcome the traditional handicaps of in-circuit emulation.
