Bangalore: Synopsys, a software and IP provider for semiconductor design, verification and manufacturing, introduced the HAPS-60 series of rapid prototyping systems - a comprehensive solution that eases complex SoC design and verification challenges. The HAPS-60 series, part of the Confirma Rapid Prototyping Platform, is an easy-to-use and cost-effective rapid prototyping system that enables early hardware/software co-verification and system-level integration at near-real-time run-rates, using at-speed, real-world interfaces. Built with the latest Xilinx Virtex-6 devices, the HAPS-60 series combines performance, capacity, pre-tested IP and advanced verification functionality to deliver the most comprehensive prototyping system on the market.
The lack of affordable and readily available hardware-based verification solutions has compelled designers to start hardware/software co-verification and system-level validation late in the design cycle, often leading to project delays that can result from a last-minute increase in system-level hardware and software bugs. The HAPS-60 series offers a unique combination of functionality and features that enable software development and system-level verification much earlier in the design cycle.
"By combining increased performance and capacity, pre-tested DesignWare IP and advanced verification modes with the proven Confirma software suite, the HAPS-60 series provides a cost and time-to-market advantage not possible with traditional, stand-alone hardware-based verification methods or custom-built prototyping boards. By leveraging Synopsys' technology leadership spanning hardware, software and IP, Synopsys provides designers with a unique prototyping platform that significantly eases their system validation and software development process," said Joachim Kunkel, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Solutions Group at Synopsys.
