Three EDA companies have released news today. Both EVE and Interra have announced new products, while Jasper is expanding its presence in China and Taiwan.

EVE’s New Emulation System Supports Designs of Up to One-Billion ASIC Gates

EVE announced that its new emulation system ZeBu-Server supports high-capacity designs of up to one-billion application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) gates.

As a result, it meets the demands of high-end processors and graphics designs, and is suitable for all system-on-chip (SoC) verification needs across the entire development cycle, from hardware verification, hardware/software integration to embedded software validation. ZeBu-Server’s scalability serves a broad range of design sizes and styles, from 10-million to one-billion ASIC gates, in increments of 10-million, 20-million or 40-million gates. Used as a multi-user, multi-mode accelerator/emulator, its typical performance is approximately 10 megahertz (MHz) on a 40-million gate design.

ZeBu-Server is priced from $150,000, less than a penny per gate for large configurations.
