At the high end of performance, general-purpose in-circuit emulators can achieve speeds of 100,000 to 1 million cycles/sec but are typically throttled back to only 10,000 to 25,000 cycles/sec when you ...

According to industry pundits, FPGAs take forever to compile and have internal timing problems. ASICs, on the other hand, are power-hungry and require longer development time. When it comes to ...

In regard to network testing, the terms emulation and simulation are often used interchangeably. In most cases, either term will generally get the point across, but there’s a big difference between a ...

Chip designs today have more functionality, more black-boxed intellectual property (IP) and shorter tape-out schedules. However, they require even more design verification than in the past, which ...

It wasn’t that many years ago that was an expensive tool available to only a few, but it has since become indispensable for a growing number of companies. One obvious reason is the growing size of ...

Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss the growing usage of hybrid verification approaches with Frank Schirrmeister, senior group director of product management & marketing for Cadence; Russ ...

R>epresenting a multifunction verification platform that provides both simulation acceleration and in-circuit emulation capabilities, the Palladium ASIC design ...

There are many ways to develop applications for embedded Linux devices. The obvious method is to cross-compile on your host and debug on real hardware. This is probably how most people think of ...

Claiming to be the industry's most advanced simulation acceleration and in-circuit emulation system, the Palladium combines a scalable simulation and emulation hardware architecture with an integrated ...

For as long as there’s been war, there have been games of war. In 1812, a Prussian officer named George Reisswitz invented what is considered to be the first wargame called Kriegsspiel, a board game ...
