Fast SOC Emulation
Traditional ASIC emulation has made little progress in a decade:
- Emulation speeds still below 2 MHz, much lower for large designs
- Price tags approaching seven digits even when leasing equipment
- High-maintenance systems requiring dedicated support, special electrical and cooling requirements, not to mention floor space
- Chip technology at least two generations behind the state of the art, with a product cycle of 3 to 5 years between generations
This is where EVE's ZeBu emulators come in. You don't design chips today the same way you did ten years ago, and at EVE, we applied the same idea when designing ZeBu fast emulators, including ZeBu-Server, our enterprise-level, Fast SOC emulation system. With this advanced emulation technology, you get:
- Fast SOC Emulation, with a design emulation frequencies ranging from 1MHz for billion gate designs, up to 30MHz for designs under 10 Million gates
- Virtually unlimited design capacity
- A compact form factor and low power consumption using the latest silicon technologies, which helps deliver high speed at the lowest cost of ownership
Ultimately, the extra speed you get with ZeBu enables you to perform better pre-silicon verification and software validation. The return on investment (ROI) is at least an order of magnitude higher than traditional emulation, so it's easy to justify the use of ZeBu in your project.
