EVE ZeBu-Server Compiles One-Billion Gate Design in Less Than 12 Hours

Posted by Ken Cheung in Models, Simulations on Monday, September 14, 2009

EVE announced that their ZeBu-Server emulation system offers fast compile times that range from five to 30-million gates per hour on PC farms, depending on the design’s complexity. In a recent benchmark, ZeBu-Server software compiled a 200-million gate design in less than 10 hours, and a one-billion gate design in less than 12 hours. With its fully parallel synthesis, partitioning and place and route features, ZeBu-Server can accelerate first-time compilation, while an incremental compilation capability speeds design changes. The compiler includes a multicore acceleration capability to break the linearity of the compile time on large designs and can increase compilation speed to a maximum of 100-million gates per hour on designs with hundreds of million gates. ZeBu-Server offers automated, fast and incremental compilation from SystemVerilog, Verilog, and VHDL register transfer level (RTL) code. It includes complete RTL signal waveform dumping and support for SystemVerilog Assertions.
