Verification: Xcelium Provides 3X Performance Increase for StreamDSP's FPGA-Based Defense IP

Ankur J

The FPGA market is rapidly growing in the traditional Aero-Defense sector as well as in the emerging sectors like Automotive and IoT. FPGA design is considered relatively simple compared to the complexities posed by an SoC design, but FPGA verification is not that simple. Traditionally, companies have been using FPGA vendor tools, methodologies, and flows for verification, but this is proving to be insufficient due to…
