Fast SOC Emulation
Traditional ASIC emulation has made little progress in a decade:
- emulation speed still below 1 MHz
- price tag approaching seven digits even when leasing equipment
- high-maintenance systems requiring dedicated support, special electrical and cooling requirements not to mention floor space
- chip technology at least two generations behind the state of the art, with a product cycle of 3 to 5 years between generations
That's where EVE's ZeBu emulators comes in. You don't design chips today the same way you did ten years ago, and at EVE, we applied the same idea when designing the ZeBu-XXL and ZeBu-Server, our high-end, Fast SOC emulation systems. With this advanced emulation technology, you get:
- Fast SOC Emulation, with a design emulation frequencies ranging from 1MHz for billion gate designs, up to 30MHz for designs under 10 Million gates
- Extremely large capacity, up to 1 Billion ASIC gates
- A compact form factor and low power consumption using the latest silicon technologies, which helps deliver high speed at the lowest cost of ownsership
In the end, the extra speed you get with ZeBu enables you to do better pre-silicon verification and software validation. The return on investment (ROI) is at least an order of magnitude higher than traditional emulation, so it's easy to justify the use of ZeBu in your project.
