Siemens Digital Industries Software has launched the Veloce™ CS hardware-assisted verification and validation system. A first for the Electronic Design Automation (EDA) industry, Veloce CS incorporates hardware emulation, enterprise prototyping, and software prototyping, and is built on two highly advanced integrated circuits (ICs): Siemens' new Crystal accelerator chip, built for emulation, and the adaptable AMD Versal™ Premium VP1902 FPGA system-on-a-chip (SoC) for enterprise and software prototyping.
The solution encompasses three new offerings:
Veloce™ Strato CS hardware for emulation.
Veloce™ Primo CS hardware for enterprise prototyping.
Veloce™ proFPGA CS hardware for software prototyping.
Designed to deliver consistency, speed, and modularity across all three platforms, the Veloce CS system supports designs ranging from 40 million gates to designs integrating more than 40 billion gates. Furthermore, Veloce CS executes complete system workloads with superior visibility and consistency by selecting the right tool for the job, as each task has unique requirements. This significantly speeds up project completion times and reduces the cost per verification cycle.
To achieve this milestone, Siemens collaborated with key customers and partners to develop innovative hardware and a new, fully unified software architecture.
Veloce Strato CS offers a significant improvement in emulation performance over Veloce Strato, up to 5 times while maintaining full visibility and scales from 40 million gates (MG) to over 40 billion gates (BG).
The Veloce Primo CS, based on AMD's latest Versal Premium VP1902 FPGA, is the industry's most consistent enterprise prototyping system, scaling from 40MB to 40+GB.
The Veloce Strato CS and Veloce Primo CS solutions run on the same operating system, providing exceptional consistency while offering the freedom to move seamlessly between platforms. This can dramatically accelerate commissioning, setup, debugging, and workload execution.
Veloce proFPGA CS, which also leverages the AMD Versal Premium VP1902 FPGA-based adaptive SoC, offers a fast and comprehensive software prototyping solution, scalable from a single FPGA to hundreds. This exceptional performance, along with its highly flexible and modular design, can help customers dramatically accelerate firmware, operating system, application development, and systems integration tasks.
The entire Veloce CS system is available in a modular blade configuration that fully meets the requirements of modern data centers for ease of installation, low power consumption, superior cooling, and a compact footprint. Additionally, the Veloce proFPGA CS solution offers a desktop lab version for greater user flexibility.
Veloce CS is qualified to work with the latest HP DL385g11 servers with AMD EPYC™ CPUs.
