Axis Systems Adds Support for Verisity's eCelerator to its ReConfigurable Computing Platform; Integration to Provide Performance and Flexibility.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 30, 2003 Verisity Ltd. (Nasdaq:VRST VRST Virtual Reality Software and Technology VRST Virtual Reality System Testing ), the leading supplier of verification process automation solutions, today announced that Axis Systems, a member of Verisity's VIP and LicenseE(TM) programs, is integrating its XoC(TM) ESL (1) An earlier family of client/server development tools for Windows and OS/2 from Ardent Software (formerly VMARK). It was originally developed by Easel Corporation, which was acquired by VMARK. co-verification tool, Xtreme(R) hardware emulator, and Xcite(R) hardware accelerator with Verisity's eCelerator(TM) testbench acceleration tool. Verisity's eCelerator combines the power of the Specman Elite(R) verification process automation with the high performance of hardware-assisted verification. An integrated solution between eCelerator and XoC, Xtreme, and Xcite will significantly increase verification run-time performance and the time to identify and fix bugs at the full chip and system level. "Axis is Axis I Psychiatry A classification dimension used with DSM-IV, which includes clinical disorders and syndromes and/or other areas of concern. See DSM-IV, Multiaxial system. the market and technology leader in Design Team Emulation. Our products are based on Axis' patented ReConfigurable Computing See adaptive computing. (RCC RCC - An extensible language. ) technology -- a single kernel system with simulation-to-acceleration-to-emulation and hardware/software co-verification on a unified verification platform," said Michael Young, director of marketing at Axis. "By integrating XoC, Xtreme, and Xcite with Verisity's eCelerator, Axis and Verisity are giving users the best of both worlds -- hardware-based performance and software-based flexibility with Specman Elite's powerful verification process automation capabilities." With XoC, Xtreme, and Xcite, Axis brings acceleration and ICE performance to the design team with an easy-to-use flow and advanced debugging (programming) debugging - The process of attempting to determine the cause of the symptoms of malfunctions in a program or other system. These symptoms may be detected during testing or use by real users. tools. The integration of eCelerator with XoC, Xtreme, and Xcite will improve runtime performance without sacrificing quality. Engineers will be able to synthesize To create a whole or complete unit from parts or components. See synthesis. and accelerate testbenches written in the e verification language onto Axis' hardware. Additionally, although a fast verification environment often requires engineers to switch to a slower and less efficient solution for debugging, the integration of eCelerator and Axis' RCC technology provides engineers with a high-performance verification environment and the flexibility to switch to software for debugging. "System-level verification requires advanced technologies, methodologies, and highly interoperable solutions," said Dave Tokic, director of strategic marketing for Verisity. "This integration provides all these elements: giving users the verification power of Specman Elite, the speed of Axis' RCC, and a single unified flow from simulation all the way to emulation."
