Cadence Redefines Verification Planning and Management with Incisive vManager Solution
SAN JOSE, Calif., 23 Feb 2014
HIGHLIGHTS:
Part of the Cadence® Incisive functional verification platform, the Incisive vManager solution utilizes commercial SQL database technology and enables broad scalability from small intellectual property (IP) projects to gigascale system-on-chip (SoC) designs. Additionally, to ensure SoC developers have a consistent methodology for design quality enhancements, the Incisive vManager solution supports several MDV extensions addressing applications including acceleration, low power and mixed-signal verification.

Incisive vManager Customers Speak Out
"The Incisive vManager solution has been very well accepted by our design and verification teams because it's really straightforward, intuitive and easy to use. The Incisive vManager solution helps us with project visibility, which improves our verification productivity," said Mirella Negro Marcigaglia, verification manager, STMicroelectronics.
"Driven by ever-more-demanding use cases, the growing complexity of our DSPs require a highly powerful verification tool capable of addressing billions of coverage points. The new Incisive vManager solution allows us to merge and analyze our latest cores' databases on a scale never before possible, improving our productivity and providing faster time-to-market. As we begin to take advantage of the multi-user capability, we are confident we will gain even further improvements," said Ran Snir, VLSI director at CEVA.
- All-new verification planning and management solution delivers multi-user, multi-engine, multi-project and multi-analysis capabilities
- MDV methodology improves verification productivity by 2X or more
- Integrated commercial SQL database technology enables broad scalability
- Seamless interoperability with Incisive verification platform and Palladium XP Verification Computing Platform
