New Synfora PICO Express Interface to Mentor Graphics ModelSim Simulation Environment Available Now
SynforaT, Inc. announced availability of an integrated product interface for Synfora PICO Express and the ModelSim® simulation environment from Mentor Graphics®. With this new interface, chip designers using Synfora PICO Express and ModelSim will have a seamless verification flow, from un-timed sequential C to automatically generated fast SystemC models and RTL testbenches.
As a new ModelSim value added partner, Synfora worked with Mentor Graphics to develop a fast, optimized product interface. Now, users of PICO Express can set ModelSim as their preferred simulation environment, and PICO Express will generate customized scripts that interface with ModelSim to run SystemC models and RTL testbenches.
Raj Singh, Synfora's senior vice-president of worldwide marketing and sales, said, "Our mutual customers will benefit from the ability to create efficient hardware from sequential un-timed C algorithms, and from the powerful hardware validation and verification solutions from Mentor."
Dennis Brophy, director of strategic business development of the Design, Verification & Test division at Mentor Graphics, said, "We are pleased to welcome Synfora as a partner in providing technology that streamlines the design process for our joint customers."
The ModelSim Value Added Partnership (VAP) program brings to designers world-class product integrations and interoperability. To enhance their selection and use of ModelSim, Mentor Graphics partners with other electronic design automation (EDA) companies to integrate their tools and technology with ModelSim.
