Overview
Sign-off model for dozens of production designs.
This Cadence® Verification IP (VIP) provides support for the JEDEC® Graphics Double Data Rate (GDDR6) SGRAM GDDR6 standard. It provides a mature, highly capable compliance verification solution that supports simulation, formal analysis, and hardware acceleration platforms, making it applicable to intellectual property (IP), system-on-chip (SoC), and system-level verification. The VIP for GDDR6 is compatible with the industry-standard Universal Verification Methodology (UVM), runs on all leading simulators, and leverages the industry-standard Cadence Memory Model core architecture, interface, and use model.
The GDDR6 standard is is a modern type of synchronous graphics random-access memory (SGRAM) with a high bandwidth ("double date rate") interface designed for use in graphics cards, game consoles, and high-performance computation.
Supported specification: JEDEC JESD250, JESD250A, JESD250B, and JESD205C specification.

This paper will include a short review of the key features of DDR, GDDR and MobileDDR memory architectures, covering power, speed and cost characteristics as well as key functionality differences that can impact overall system architecture. Using real system design experiences each of the main memory architectures will be used to address system design challenges of sustained bandwidth, reliability, access priority, power savings, and interface requirements.
Large Language Models (LLMs) have gained popularity in recent years, driving up the demand for inference. LLM inference is composed of two phases with distinct characteristics: a compute-bound prefill phase followed by a memory-bound decode phase. This paper proposes SPAD (Specialized Prefill and Decode hardware), adopting a less-is-more methodology to design specialized chips tailored to the distinct characteristics of prefill and decode phases.
HBM4 is the latest generation of the High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) that has become analogous to the Artificial Intelligence (AI) boom that is everywhere in today’s world. HBM is also increasingly being used in other applications like Data centers, autonomous driving systems, servers, cloud computing just to mention few domains where bandwidth and performance in a key requirement.
The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the technological landscape, driving unprecedented demands on computing infrastructure. At the heart of this transformation lie innovations in intellectual property (IP) that enable scalable, efficient, and performance-driven AI factories.
This white paper will discuss the design challenges that IC designers are facing when developing the new GDDR 7 high-performance memory interface and highlight some of the possible solutions to overcome these challenges, ensuring compliance and robustness of the GDDR7 memory interface.
The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) over the past decade has reshaped the way we interact with technology and transformed industries across the board. From early predictive models and voice assistants to today’s highly complex generative AI systems, we are witnessing the dawn of a new era: AI 2.0.
