| Cadence Announces Support for New Interface Verification IP for Development of Cloud Infrastructure | | |
March 26, 2012 -- Cadence Design Systems, Inc. has announced that it is adding support for two popular protocol standards used in cloud computing applications, 12-Gbps SAS and NVM Express, to the Cadence verification IP (VIP) catalog. Some of the standards vital to cloud computing that are a part of the Cadence VIP catalog include:
- 12-Gbps SAS - A new addition to the Cadence VIP catalog, 12-Gbps SAS is an enhanced protocol for connecting storage systems, delivering the massive data content required by the cloud.
- NVM Express - Also a new addition to the Cadence VIP catalog, NVMe is a storage protocol for connecting drives and controllers, unlocking the huge I/O potential of solid state drives.
- Ethernet 40G/100G - These emerging high-speed-networking standards are critical components to support the growing demands of network fabrics and virtualization.
- DDR4 - This high-performance, next-generation memory interface offers 2X higher performance and 40% lower power consumption than DDR3.
- LRDIMM - Compared to previous RDIMM generations, LRDIMM provides up to 3X the server memory capacity while maintaining the same loading.

"To get to market quickly with lower integration risk, AppliedMicro chose Cadence verification IP architected for seamless integration into our advanced SystemVerilog design and verification methodology," said Amal Bommireddy, Vice President of Engineering at AppliedMicro. "Cadence's products' performance and integration gives us confidence that our end-products will properly interoperate with these industry standard interfaces."
"12-Gbps SAS is the latest evolution of the SAS standard poised to deliver enterprise-class storage to a variety of cloud and data center environments," said Harry Mason, Director of Industry Marketing, LSI, and President of STA. "By doubling the data transfer rate, 12-Gbps SAS improves the cost/ performance density of SAS interconnects and enables higher degrees of capacity scaling. Pre-silicon verification capabilities, such as those offered by Cadence with its VIP products, are critical to the SAS ecosystem and reinforce the interoperability required of these pervasive storage interconnects."
