Overview

AMBA® ACE and CHI coherent interconnect technologies enable an entirely new class of high-performance datacenter applications in areas of machine learning, network processing, storage off-load, in-memory database, and 4G/5G wireless technology. Processor architectures and accelerators can now seamlessly operate over cache coherent intercon nects using the right combination of general-purpose processors and heterogeneous acceleration devices, such as FPGAs, GPUs, network/ storage adapters, intelligent networks, and custom ASICs.

Avery AMBA VIP provides a comprehensive verification solution featuring an advanced UVM environment that incorporates constrained random traffic generation; robust packet, link, physical layer controls, and error injection; protocol checks, coverage, and functional coverage; protocol analyzer-like features for debugging; and performance analysis metrics. With the advanced capabilities of Avery VIP, you can work more effi ciently, develop more complex tests, and work on more complex topolo gies, such as multi-path, multi-link solutions. Avery compliance test suites offer effective core-through-chip-level tests, including those used in compliance workshops as well as extended tests developed by Avery to cover specification features.
