INDUSTRY GADFLY: “My Cheesy Must See List for DAC 2012″
by John Cooley
RealIntent Ascent XV does a "fast static hazard analysis to identify X-sources and nets susceptible to X-issues. X-optimism functional bugs are isolated during RTL simulation. At netlist, X-pessimism is identified and corrected. Now does initialization optimization and low power." Ascent Lint is "now faster and has 50 new System Verilog, Verilog, VHDL, netlist rules." Nvidia, Dialog Semi, Agilent users. RealIntent Meridian CDC does "timing analysis SDC data to validate complete clock coverage." New front-end, faster and "did 50 M gates, 155 clock domains in 4 hours." Nvidia, Cavium, Magnum users. (booth 926) Ask for Lisa Piper. Freebie: pocket multi-tool
