Avery Design Systems Inc., an innovator in functional verification
productivity solutions, today announced availability of SimCluster GLS
that performs gate-level parallel simulation to achieve 3-5X speed up of
sign-off simulations.

“As chips get larger the feasibility of performing post-layout SDF-based
gate-level simulation gets harder and harder,” said Chris Browy, VP
Sales/Marketing. SimCluster GLS performs scalable parallel simulation
using VCS, Xcelium, or Questa in either multi-core and datacenter
cluster compute environments to simulate faster and shrink turn-around
times on sign-off simulations.

Highlights of the new SimCluster GLS solution:

  • No design changes, no testbench changes, no SDF changes
  • Engines run with cycle-based or lock-step synchronization
  • Supports all three major simulators (Xcelium/VCS/Questa)
  • Simulation analyzer tool generates design block workload, port change
    activities, interconnect complexity between blocks, synchronization
    analysis, and design hierarchy report
  • Automatic coarse-grained partitioning of flat and hierarchical netlists
  • Patent pending methods further optimize performance
