Incisive Verification IP (VIP)

Proven on more than 2,000 verification projects, Cadence Incisive® Verification IP (VIP) delivers the industry's broadest and deepest verification IP portfolio. It is available for today's most complex protocols, including PCI Express,
AMBA AHB and AXI, Ethernet, USB, PCI, OCP, and SATA. Additionally, Cadence Verification Alliance Partners have invested hundreds of man-years in creating more than 20 other protocols. Cadence customers can leverage this portfolio to eliminate the need to create VIP for all but their own proprietary protocols. Furthermore, with metric-driven advanced testbench VIP, assertion-based VIP, transaction-based acceleration VIP for high-level testbenches and SpeedBridge rate adapters
for emulation and in-circuit verification, only Cadence VIP addresses the full range of verification needs.

As an integral part of the Incisive functional verification platform, Incisive VIP maximizes quality, productivity, and predictability while minimizing verification environment bring-up time. Compliance with the Open Verilog Methodology (OVM) also ensures plug-and-play interoperability and reusability. This maximizes productivity when moving from block- to chip- to system-level verification or to derivative projects. Cadence VIP also supports SystemVerilog, e, Verilog, VHDL, and C/C++/SystemC, allowing designers to use their IEEE-standard language of choice.

Customers further benefit from the solution's Compliance Management System (CMS), which automates protocol compliance verification by applying a metric-driven approach. CMSreduces the need for protocol expertise and the overall resources required. CMS automatically generates complex scenarios and/or error conditions with push-button ease, thereby eliminating the need to create and manually manage the hundreds or thousands of directed tests required using BFM style alternative VIP. CMS also automatically correlates the functional coverage results to the protocol specification. This automates simulation results reporting so that engineers and managers can quickly and predictably assess verification progress and risk areas. See the ClearSpeed success story for an example of how CMS increases quality, productivity and predictability.
