Mentor Graphics, a provider of high-performance system verification offerings, has introduced next-gen platform to accelerate the verification of 100-Gigabit Ethernet products.
The new platform enables network equipment designers to test their complete system, including software and hardware, and employ real-world network traffic early in the development cycle reducing the total system verification process.
In addition, the platform consists of the Veloce family of emulation products and the iSolve Ethernet Switch product, which verifies multi-port, Ethernet-based designs, and dynamic, accurate verification of networking systems.
The company said that the new platform when combined with the Veloce product family, delivers a multi-port and easy-to-use system verification environment to develop new and innovative networking products.
Further, the platform can be used with a traditional In-Circuit Emulation and high-performance Transaction-Based Acceleration mode of operation.
Mentor Emulation Division vice-president and general manager Eric Selosse said new market segments, including multimedia, wireless, storage and metro area networking, are pushing the state of the art in Ethernet-based system verification.
"We took a new approach to solve these challenges with our iSolve Ethernet Switch product by providing flexible, modular, and user-configurable emulation offering that meets the needs of our most demanding networking customers, and delivering support for speeds from 1Gbit to 100Gbit and beyond," Selosse said.
