Zebu-XXL for ASIC and SOC Emulation
ZeBu-XXL is a high capacity system emulator with the easy setup and debugging associated with emulation, but orders of magnitude better in price and performance. Configurable to handle designs from 12.5M to 100M ASIC gates in a compact, rack-mountable unit, and expandable to accommodate up to 200M ASIC gates via 2 interconnected units, ZeBu-XXL primarily aims at large-scale chip and system emulation applications. It is ideal for the system-integration phase of the design cycle where multiple logic blocks, multiple chips, and embedded software all must be verified together.
Hardware design and software development teams can share the same system and design representation, and can easily collaborate when debugging complex hardware/software interactions. The net effect is that hardware/software integration takes place much earlier in the design cycle, thereby reducing silicon respins and accelerating time to market.
ZeBu-XXL gives you the highest performance of any emulator in the market while offering the most cost-effective solution in the smallest footprint. The reason is that ZeBu-XXL has been architected to take advantage of the largest and latest generation FPGAs. The ZeBu compiler automatically handles any design, regardless of size, coding style, clocking scheme, or memory structure, making it easy to map even large designs.
