Overview

The NVMe Verification IP (VIP) and Post-Silicon Validation Suite are based on the latest protocol standards (NVMe 1.2) from www.nvme.org. These are available from elnfochips for licensing with support and related services.

NVMe Services

elnfochips offers industry leading expertise on NVMe for flash based SSD storage products. This includes design, verification and system validation for ASIC and FPGA. Customers can accel erate product design schedule for RnD teams while reducing product and performance risks with proven solutions and services.

NVMe Validation Suite

elnfochips NVMe Post-Silicon Validation Suite enables test scenarios that are defined by UNH-IOL (University of New Hampshire - Interoperability Lab) for performance and interoperability. It also covers other test scenarios for greater confidence on the product design and performance. It supports Windows and Linux OS.

NVMe Verification IP

The NVMe VIP is interoperable with other third party VIPs like PCle or SATA for a modular and comprehensive verification environment. This VIP is fully compliant to UVM, OVM, VMM and SystemVerilog.

NVMe powers SSDs in the enterprise

With the emergence of non-volatile memory express (NVMe), a scalable host controller interface specifically developed for PCIe SSDs, and a supporting ecosystem plus dedicated devices such as NVMe programmable flash controller chips, the potential of PCIe SSDs for enterprise computing applications can be fully realized.

NVMe host IP for computing accelerator

NVM Express (NVMe) SSDs are well adopted by the storage industry. It delivers high performances in term of IOPS, throughput and latency. It comes with a various range of capacity and form factors including PCIe Add-In-Card, 2.5" U.2, M.2 and recently as a single BGA chip.

NVMe IP for Enterprise SSD

Most of SSD manufacturers jumped into this new storage market with flash-based technology. A second wave of products will come in the near future, using a new generation of non-volatile memories, delivering impressive speed performances compared to NandFlash memories. The SSD manufacturers will have to deal with low latency SSD controller design in order to benefit from the new NVM features, while keeping high reliability and low power consumption. This white paper proposes a solution based on a full hardware NVMe implementation, describing its architecture, implementation and characterization.
