OCP-IP Announces Availability of Mentor Graphics CheckerWare Library of Verification IP
The CheckerWare monitor is an advanced verification technology that can be used to verify OCP during simulation and formal functional verification. Additionally, the monitor collects detailed coverage information, such as protocol interface behaviors of industry standard interfaces, to identify coverage weaknesses in the user’s verification scheme. CheckerWare components are added to the designs and used throughout the verification flow. This in turn facilitates faster more complete verification, and ensures that devices fully comply with the OCP specification.
“OCP has a robust, thriving infrastructure supported by many independent companies such as Mentor that provide excellent services and products,” said Ian Mackintosh, president OCP-IP. “This is a testament to the tremendous adoption we have seen throughout the industry.”
“Mentor Graphics is proud of being a contributor to the OCP-IP organization, with OCP as a leading interconnect to our customers designing complex SoCs,” stated Steve White, general manager of Mentor Graphics’ 0-In Functional Verification business unit, which provided the CheckerWare library. “The addition of the CheckerWare OCP monitor enables these customers to quickly adopt the advanced methodologies needed to reach verification closure.”
