Cadence Introduces Palladium Z2: Advancing SoC Verification With 4-State Emulation

By Business Wire On Jan 19, 2024

4-State Emulation App accelerates simulations requiring X-propagation

Cadence Design Systems, Inc. announced a new portfolio of applications that significantly enhance the capabilities of its flagship Palladium Z2 Enterprise Emulation System. These domain-specific apps allow customers to manage increasing system design complexity, improving system-level accuracy and accelerating low-power verification for advanced applications, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML), hyperscale and mobile.

designs are pushing the envelope on complexity, and customers need capacity, performance and debug efficiency to meet time-to-market demands. The new Cadence^® apps and updates individually offer industry-leading performance and features to address these growing challenges. The new and enhanced Palladium Apps are:

4-State Emulation App: Industry’s first 4-state emulation capability enables acceleration of simulations requiring X-propagation such as for low-power verification of complex SoCs with multiple switched power domains.
Real Number Modeling App: Industry’s first real number model emulation capability enables acceleration of simulations on mixed-signal designs.
Dynamic Power Analysis App: A next-generation massively parallel architecture for multi-billion-gate, million-clock-cycle power analysis of complex SoCs that is up to 5X faster than its previous versions.
