MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. and
SANTA ROSA, Calif., July 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --
Highlights:
- Collaboration enables shift from in-circuit system validation
to scalable, flexible, and accurate virtual system validation
- Synopsys ZeBu Virtual Tester Solution offers unmatched,
full-featured integration between ZeBu emulation system and Ixia's
IxVerify virtual network tester
- Solution delivers complete validation continuity from
pre-silicon to post-silicon, reducing project schedules by
months
Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) and Ixia, a Keysight Technologies,
Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) business, today announced a multi-year, strategic
collaboration to enable a paradigm shift for system validation of
complex networking system-on-chips (SoCs) using emulation and a
virtual tester. The new paradigm is a faster, more effective
alternative to traditional in-circuit emulation, which no longer
scales for the port density and software complexity of
next-generation networking SoCs, with the use of an emulation
system connected to a true virtual tester solution. Synopsys has
released its ZeBu® Virtual Network Tester Solution,
which integrates Synopsys' ZeBu emulation system with Ixia's
IxVerify virtual network tester. Together, these solutions enable
validation continuity that spans pre- and post-silicon use
providing a full-featured protocol testing solution to reduce
overall project schedules, thus shifting-left traditional
post-silicon use cases to the pre-silicon domain. Networking
semiconductor companies can now accelerate their pre-silicon and
post-silicon system validation for complex networking SoCs that
feature hundreds of ports and 24+ terabit per second
throughput.
"Our goal is to support networking equipment and semiconductor
customers through their product design and validation cycle as
early as possible," said Scott
Westlake, vice president of alliances at Keysight's Ixia
Solutions Group. "We are pleased to work with Synopsys, an
emulation partner committed to developing deep, feature-rich
integration with our virtual testing technology that helps achieve
that goal and faster time-to-market for advanced networking
products."
"Our ZeBu emulation platform has been used by many
industry-leading companies to accelerate software bring-up for
complex SoCs in the pre-silicon stage," said Susheel Tadikonda, vice president, Solutions
Engineering in the Synopsys Verification Group. "By collaborating
closely with Ixia, we are extending our solutions to meet the
specific needs of networking companies through the addition of
virtual tester solutions for pre-silicon SoC validation that
deliver feature-rich pre- to post-silicon validation
continuity."
Synopsys and Ixia are hosting a technical webinar on
July 24th explaining the solutions.
