Product Update Press Release, January 15, 2010
SynaptiCAD's 64-Bit Verilog Simulator is 30% Faster
SynaptiCAD has just released the first
64bit Linux version of VeriLogger Extreme, a Verilog
simulation and debug environment. The 64bit simulator runs
30% faster than the 32bit version and can simulate much
larger designs (64bit Linux applications can use a
system's full memory, unlike 32bit applications which are
limited to 3GB of memory). As in the case of the 32bit
version, SynaptiCAD is continuing to offer free 6 month
licenses for the 64bit simulator, so it is available to
use free for commercial development. The 32bit and 64bit
simulators are bundled together in a single package and
can be downloaded from http://www.syncad.com.
Free For a Limited Time
For a limited time, SynaptiCAD will be
giving away free "no strings attached" 6 month licenses
for VeriLogger Extreme, a high-performance compiled-code
Verilog 2001 simulator that significantly reduces
simulation debug time. Free licenses will be available for
both Linux and Windows versions of the simulator. Unlike
the lower cost simulators typically provided with FPGA
tools, SynaptiCAD's simulator is being distributed without
any code that slows down the simulator when run on larger
designs, making it run over 10x faster than the
competition on larger simulation runs.
Debugger Automatically chooses 64-bit or 32-Bit Simulator
The VeriLogger Extreme simulators come with
a graphical debugging environment called BugHunter Pro that
will automatically launch VeriLogger Extreme in 32-bit or
64-bit depending on the type of operating system that you are
running. BugHunter supports all major HDL simulators and has
the ability to launch the simulator, provide single step
debugging, unit-level test bench generation, streaming of
waveform data, project management, and a hierarchy tree. The
unit-level test bench generation is unique in that it lets
the user draw stimulus waveforms and then generates the
stimulus model and wrapper code and launches the code. It is
one of the fastest ways to test a model and make sure that
everything is working correctly. The debugger also has
exceptional support for VCD waveform files.
Pricing and Free Viewer Version
VeriLogger Extreme is available on Linux,
Solaris, and MS Windows. A 64-bit Windows version will be
released shortly. A perpetual license sells for $4000 on
Windows. Leasing options are also available, as well as a
free, design-size limited version for student and classroom
usage.
