Today,?we?announced Xcelium Apps, a portfolio of domain-specific technologies implemented natively on the?Xcelium?Logic Simulator kernel that enable automotive, mobile, and hyperscale design teams to achieve the highest verification performance. By mixing and matching Xcelium Apps, customers can achieve up to a 10X regression throughput improvement.
The Xcelium Apps today are:
- Machine Learning: The Xcelium Machine Learning (ML) App utilizes proprietary ML technology to reduce regression times by learning from previous regression runs and guiding the Xcelium randomization kernel to either achieve the same coverage with significantly fewer simulation cycles or catch more bugs around specific coverage points of interest.
- Mixed Signal: The Xcelium Digital Mixed-Signal (DMS) App enables native co-simulation with Cadence Spectre SPICE analog simulation, as well as advanced SystemVerilog Real Number Model-based simulation.
- Multi-Core: The Xcelium Multi-Core (MC) App significantly reduces runtime for long-running high activity tests by multi-threading the Xcelium kernel, for example, on gate-level design for test (DFT) simulations.
- Safety: The Xcelium Safety App enables serial and concurrent fault simulation, which, when combined with Cadence’s safety verification full flow that’s comprised of Jasper Safety, vManager Safety, and Midas Safety Planner, enables the highest performance safety campaign execution for ISO 26262 compliance.
- Power Playback: The Xcelium PowerPlayback App enables the massively parallel Xcelium replay of waveforms captured by Palladium emulation onto a timing-annotated gate-level netlist for glitch-accurate power estimation of multi-billion gate SoC designs.
- X-Pessimism Removal: The Xcelium X-Pessimism Removal (XPR) App shortens debug time by using advanced algorithms to make the propagation of “X” values in simulation more accurate.
