Axis Systems Offers High Performance Intellectual Property for System-On-Chip Verification
SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 5, 2001--
Axis Systems, Inc., today announced a new product, IP Builder(TM),
that enables high-performance verification of System-On-Chip (SoC)
designs by accelerating the Intellectual Property (IP) models, such as
embedded processors, used in networking and multimedia designs.
IP Builder enables IP suppliers to deliver accelerated, secure and
portable cores to customers using simulation and emulation products
from Axis Systems. Based on patented ReConfigurable Computing (RCC)
technology, Axis Systems' products provide, on a single platform with
one design database, software simulation, accelerated simulation,
system emulation and hardware/software co-verification.
Steve Wang, vice president of marketing at Axis Systems remarked,
``Being able to accelerate IP models is on the wish list of many of our
networking customers. Our IP Builder enables IP core providers to
offer secure accelerated embedded processor models, so that our common
customers can debug their software using a high-performance system
verification solution. And what's really unique about our solution is
that the designers can now accelerate their IP without having access
to the actual source.''
More About IP Builder
IP Builder uses the compiler technology in Axis Systems' products
to create a protected Binary Object Model (BOM) that is mapped into
the RCC elements. IP suppliers will use Axis Systems' verification
products to validate their embedded models and once fully verified,
use IP Builder to protect their intellectual property for
distribution. Since IP Builder uses the same compiler as Axis Systems'
verification products, the pre-compiled cores are guaranteed to
function the same way the IP providers verified them. By providing
pre-compiled models, customers can link multiple IP from various
vendors into their designs.
Price and Availability
IP Builder will be available in Q2 of 2001. Pricing begins at
$95,000 (USD).
