HiSilicon Expands Cadence Palladium XP Platform Usage For Mobile and Digital Media SoC and ASIC Development

SAN JOSE, Calif., 12 May 2014 -- Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS), a leader in global electronic design innovation, today announced that HiSilicon further expanded usage of the Cadence® Palladium® XP Verification Computing Platform as its emulation solution for mobile and digital media System-on-Chip (SoC) and ASIC development.

HiSilicon provides ASICs and SoCs for communication network and digital media, including solutions for network surveillance, videophones, Digital Video Broadcast and IPTV. Solutions for these markets require a high level of quality, with robust hardware-software verification, and a quick turn-around time to meet aggressive time-to-market needs.

“We expanded our usage of the Palladium XP platform due to its performance, flexibility, hardware and software co-development efficiency and ability to shorten the time to market for our designs,” said Yanqiu Diao, deputy GM, Turing Processor Business Unit at HiSilicon. “The power verification and analysis capabilities of Palladium XP are also a good match for our increasing number of low power mobile designs.”

Part of the Cadence System Development Suite, the Palladium XP platform is the industry’s first high-performance, special-purpose verification computing platform that unifies best-in-class simulation acceleration and emulation capabilities in a single environment.
