ICE

Part two of this feature describes three use-cases that exploit the VirtuaLAB technology in HDMI, PCIe and Ethernet designs.

This two-part article describes advantages when using a hardware emulation platform in virtual mode compared with in-circuit-emulation.

Techniques previously unavailable during ICE or testbench acceleration can now greatly speed emulation debug in those modes.

Analysts say there is a $1B market on the horizon. We talk with Mentor's Jean-Marie Brunet about where such a number could come from.

More protocols, multibillion-gate designs, minimized power, burgeoning software and, for networking, hundreds of switch and router ports emphasize the need for scalable, virtualized emulation.
