Currently available for early adopters, VHDL for VStation provides a full-featured emulation environment for VHDL designs. Customers will realize emulation speeds up to 2MHz and RTL compiles of 1-3 million gates per hour, dramatically decreasing the time it takes for design iterations.'' Integrated VHDL support on VStation emulators allows customers to input and debug their designs at the RTL level, significantly reducing their overall verification schedules. This is made possible by the IKOS RTL compiler, with speeds of 10-20x faster than competing solutions, and the ability to analyze designs at the RTL level of abstraction.
Designers can isolate design problems quickly and reduce their overall verification schedule.
This new product offers incremental compile and automatic partitioning for RTL and behavioral blocks, giving users a simplified flow for bringing up their VHDL designs on the emulator. This offering complements the Verilog RTL capabilities currently available on the VStation emulator. The company's mission is to develop and deliver high performance solutions that enable our customers to verify the functional correctness of their complex electronic system designs. IKOS has direct sales operations in North America, UK, France, Germany, The Netherlands, Japan, and India, and a distribution network throughout Asia-Pacific and Israel.
