Simulation VIP for GDDR6

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.
