Avery Design Systems Announces SimAccel FPGA Accelerator

TEWKSBURY, Mass. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — August 2, 2019 — Avery Design Systems Inc., an innovator in functional verification productivity solutions, today announced availability of the SimAccel FPGA-based accelerator to achieve 100-1000X speed up over simulation-based verification.

“As SoCs get larger the feasibility of performing comprehensive SoC verification using purely simulation and without hardware-software co-verification is less and less practical,” said Chris Browy, VP Sales/Marketing. SimAccel provides co-emulation, hardware-software co-verification leveraging our existing VIPs and testsuites and our new synthesizable, retargetable FPGA-based Accelerator System IP (ASIP) and Accelerated VIPs (AVIP). Using design IP from Mobiveil and off the shelf FPGA prototype systems such as from Xilinx and PRO DESIGN provides the advanced hardware platforms necessary to implement multi-FPGA systems.

“As a leading provider of high-speed serial interface IP blocks and platforms for SSD and IoT markets, we are very pleased that Avery chose Mobiveil’s PCI Express Gen5 Design IP to build this innovative simulation acceleration solution” said Ravi Thummarukudy, CEO of Mobiveil. “Avery is a long term partner and both companies have been working together on many IP/VIP partnership solutions for PCIe, NVMe, DDR, ONFI, etc.”

Quote from PRO DESIGN

“As provider of FPGA based prototyping systems, we really appreciate the partnership with Avery, which enables us to expand our proFPGA solutions into an early stage of the RTL and hardware software co-verification process. By using Avery’s SimAccel technology in combination with our proFPGA product line designers are able to catch issues in the RTL at an even earlier stage than typical FPGA based prototyping, which extends the usage of our systems a lot and which will bring significant value to our customers,” said Gunnar Scholl, CEO from PRO DESIGN Electronic GmbH.
