西门子EDA HAV Tech Tour 报名中丨驱动软硬件协同,预见系统工程未来

Core Insights - The article emphasizes the importance of "Hardware-Assisted Verification" (HAV) and "Shift-Left Verification" strategies in the development of complex System-on-Chip (SoC) systems, highlighting that these approaches are essential for improving development efficiency and reducing hardware and software failure risks [1]. Group 1: HAV Technology Overview - Siemens has launched the Veloce™ CS system, which includes three core platforms: Veloce™ Strato CS (hardware emulation platform), Veloce™ Primo CS (enterprise-level prototyping platform), and Veloce™ proFPGA CS (software prototyping platform) [3]. - Strato CS and Primo CS operate on a highly consistent architecture, sharing the same operating system (Veloce OS) and applications (Veloce Apps), enabling seamless switching between the two and significantly enhancing verification efficiency, with a potential increase of up to 3 times and a reduction in total ownership costs by approximately 6 times [3]. Group 2: Modular Design and Scalability - The Veloce proFPGA CS hardware system features a modular design that allows users to combine various components, ranging from a single FPGA with 80 million gates to a configuration of 180 FPGAs with a total capacity of 14.4 billion gates [4]. - proFPGA CS shares front-end tools and some VirtuaLAB resources with Strato CS and Primo CS, facilitating easy transitions between different platforms for users [4]. Group 3: Upcoming Events and Presentations - A series of HAV technology seminars are scheduled, including sessions on improving SoC and system design verification efficiency using the Veloce CS ecosystem, enhancing hardware prototyping methodologies with proFPGA CS, and accelerating high-performance RISC-V SoC verification [5][6]. - The seminars will also cover the role of Strato CS in supporting efficient hardware-software co-verification for Arm Neoverse CSS and introduce the next-generation virtual platform, Innexis, which empowers SoC design verification [6].
