25G/50G Ethernet verification IP enables next-gen designs

Complete with verification plans, built-in coverage tracking, University of New Hampshire (UNH) compliance test suites and support for protocol-aware debug with Synopsys' Verdi Protocol Analyzer, the VIP provides advanced server and storage endpoint SoC teams with a verification IP solution that accelerates verification closure.

"HCL Technologies is one of the fastest growing service companies in the world, bringing IT and engineering services under one roof to solve complex business and product development problems for its clients," said Rajagopal Gunamani, Associate Vice President, HCL Technologies. "We have collaborated with Synopsys across many projects on the verification of our clients' Ethernet-based SoCs. The release of 25G/50G Ethernet VIP enables us to deliver on verification services as our global customers adopt the latest emerging Ethernet speeds, features and compliance test suites."

"The 25G Ethernet Consortium specification enables high-performance, cost-efficient and scalable interconnects for data centre networks with server to top-of-rack links that are able to utilise either a 25G single-lane or 50G dual-lane technology," said Brad Booth, Secretary, 25G Ethernet Consortium. "The release of Synopsys' enhanced Ethernet VIP and its SystemVerilog source code test suites that support the Consortium's 25G/50G Ethernet specification drives faster adoption of this enabling technology."

"The Ethernet standard continues to evolve with significant leaps in speed to meet the functionality of applications in specific market segments, such as server farms. As we continue to collaborate with SoC leaders in this segment, VIP remains an important enabling technology with the advanced features that design teams need to rapidly adopt these new Ethernet specifications," said Debashis Chowdhury, Vice President, R&D, Synopsys Verification Group. "Synopsys has established itself as a technology leader with its SystemVerilog UVM-based verification IP, including UNH test suites for compliance testing. With the release of 25G/50G Ethernet, we provide a solution enabling designers to rapidly create and verify differentiated products in the server market."
