Avery Design Systems Announces SimCluster GLS to Accelerate Gate-Level Sign-Off Simulations
TEWKSBURY, MA. -- May 30, 2019 – Avery Design Systems Inc., an innovator in functional verification productivity solutions, today announced availability of SimCluster GLS that performs gate-level parallel simulation to achieve 3-5X speed up of sign-off simulations.
“As chips get larger the feasibility of performing post-layout SDF-based gate-level simulation gets harder and harder,” said Chris Browy, VP Sales/Marketing. SimCluster GLS performs scalable parallel simulation using VCS, Xcelium, or Questa in either multi-core and datacenter cluster compute environments to simulate faster and shrink turn-around times on sign-off simulations.
Highlights of the new SimCluster GLS solution:
- No design changes, no testbench changes, no SDF changes
- Engines run with cycle-based or lock-step synchronization
- Supports all three major simulators (Xcelium/VCS/Questa)
- Simulation analyzer tool generates design block workload, port change activities, interconnect complexity between blocks, synchronization analysis, and design hierarchy report
- Automatic coarse-grained partitioning of flat and hierarchical netlists
- Patent pending methods further optimize performance
