Server processor throughput is everything, and optimizing the performance of your SoC for a broad range of workloads is increasingly challenging with growing complexity of new interface protocols, multi-core cache coherency, and other resource replication strategies. More targetable functional integration and performance verification strategies can take months off your project schedule. Cadence collaborates with Arm to enable our partners to more efficiently set up an effective SoC verification environment, to speed integration verification of hardware functionality, transaction throughput and memory performance optimization, and bare metal software bring-up. And for early validation, Cadence verification tools and methodology support the newest Arm cores and protocols.
