"Coherent systems are being adopted rapidly in a wide range of applications to scale performance with multiple processor clusters or I/O coherent accelerators and I/O," said Andy Nightingale, vice president of marketing, systems IP, Systems and Software Group, ARM. "Collaborating on AMBA CHI Issue B VIP with our ecosystem partner, Synopsys, enables SoC teams to verify complex coherency-based designs with ease of use, and to increase productivity and performance for accelerated verification closure."
AMBA CHI Issue B has added new features for atomic operations, cache stashing to improve data locality, new de-allocating and cache maintenance transactions and data check and poisoning to identify data corruption. AMBA CHI Issue B also provides direct data transfer to reduce latency.
Synopsys next-generation VIP provides performance metrics for latency and throughput analysis, a configurable interconnect model, a reference verification platform and system-level checks for protocol, data integrity and cache coherency. The VIP is natively integrated with Synopsys' Verdi® Protocol Analyzer debug solution. Built-in coverage and verification plans are also included to speed up verification coverage closure.
"Our Verification IP and interface IP solutions for ARM's interconnect technology build on more than a decade-long collaboration for development of the latest AMBA protocol," said Vikas Gautam, group director of VIP R&D and corporate applications in the Verification Group at Synopsys. "Our ongoing partnership with ARM continues to enable designers to create their next-generation server and networking devices with the latest AMBA CHI technology."
