Industry's first SAS 24G VIP for enterprise storage systems
Synopsys announces what is claimed to as the industry's first VIP to support the SAS (Serial-attached SCSI) 24G standard, making it the first VIP product line to support all SAS interface speed configurations. With increasing demands for the storage, backup and transmission of data, enterprise storage systems are challenged to rapidly transmit data across devices. Synopsys VC VIP for SAS delivers a comprehensive VIP solution, enabling SoC teams to accelerate verification closure.
Synopsys' VC VIP for SAS 24G uses a SystemVerilog, UVM-compliant interface for ease of integration into verification environments and for optimal performance. Synopsys VIP is capable of switching speed configurations dynamically at run time and includes an extensive and customisable set of frame generation and error injection capabilities, enabling significant productivity gains for SoC teams.
Vikas Gautam, Group Director, VIP R&D and corporate applications, Synopsys Verification Group, commented: "We continue to expand our next-generation Verification IP solutions with the latest protocols and specifications, enabling design teams to deliver the most advanced SoCs. With the addition of SAS 24G VIP, we further extend our broad offering in the storage space."
Synopsys VC VIP for SAS supporting all interface speed configurations is available today as a standalone product, as well as being included in the Synopsys VC VIP Library and the Verification Compiler products.
