New networking SoC test solution bridges the
gap between pre-silicon and post-silicon verification
Spirent Communications plc (LSE:SPT), the leading provider of
test, assurance and analytics solutions for next-generation devices
and networks, today announced a collaboration with Synopsys to
deliver a networking system-on-chip (SoC) verification solution to
bridge the gap between pre- and post-silicon verification. The
Spirent Chip Design Verification Solution speeds up the entire
silicon development lifecycle and delivers significant cost savings
by identifying and addressing issues in the IC design phase and
before manufacturing starts. Combining network testing technology
from the leading Ethernet test company with an industry-leading
emulation system provides more accurate and faster verification for
Ethernet SoCs.
Spirent’s TestCenter platform is a networking traffic generator,
providing automated, scalable and accurate Ethernet test patterns,
which are a necessity for networking ASIC and SoC verification
engineers. It is tightly integrated with Synopsys ZeBu® Server, a
leading emulation system, enabling pre-silicon SoC validation from
1G to 800G. The integration between the traffic generator and ZeBu
Server is time-synced, which allows accurate and realistic Layer
2-3 traffic generation and real-time results analysis.
“Given our breadth of test solutions, we value partnering with
EDA vendors to bridge the gap between pre- and post-silicon
validation of next-generation networking products,” said Malathi
Malla, Head of Go to Market Strategy and Operations of Cloud &
IP at Spirent Communications. “Together with Synopsys, we are
providing access to the latest Chip Design Verification solution
that allows our customers to identify critical problems early in
the design lifecycle and accelerate their time to market. Customers
are able to simplify test complexity, reduce development time and
assure that new products perform as expected.”
Leveraging the Spirent Chip Design Verification Solution in all
phases of the chipset ecosystem provides:
- Improved operational efficiency and flexibility using
virtualized testbeds
- Reduced complexity of network testing through actionable
analytics and intuitive reporting
- Automation and reusability of test configurations between pre-
and post-silicon teams
“By collaborating with leaders in test solutions, we enable
networking companies to optimize time-to-revenue for new networking
SoCs,” said Susheel Tadikonda, vice president of Solutions
Engineering in the Synopsys Verification Group. “We’re excited to
collaborate with Spirent to deliver innovative and comprehensive
virtual test solutions based on the high performance of ZeBu
emulation systems and the Spirent TestCenter platform to perform
pre- to post-silicon validation.”
