Best-in-class engines provide performance and capabilities required
to achieve comprehensive verification of advanced machine learning and
AI systems

SAN JOSE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/AI?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#AIlt;/agt;–Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS) today announced that Thinci
has deployed the full Cadence^® Verification Suite to
accelerate the design and verification of its machine learning and
artificial intelligence (AI) system-on-chip (SoC) designs. The Cadence
Verification Suite provides Thinci access to new technologies and
methodologies to achieve faster verification and design closure,
shortening the product development schedule by months while improving
simulation speed.

“Our comprehensive machine learning and AI solutions integrate SoCs,
platforms and software, which are powering the next generation of
emerging compute devices,” said Ke Yin, Vice President of Engineering at
Thinci. “We selected the Cadence Verification Suite because it enables
us to confidently verify our innovative technology and bring our machine
learning and AI products to market months earlier with superior quality.”

The complexity of Thinci’s machine learning and AI designs created new
verification challenges that required greater efficiencies. The Cadence
Verification Suite, including the Xcelium Parallel Logic
Simulation Platform, the Palladium^® Z1 Enterprise Emulation
Platform, and Protium S1 FPGA-Based Prototyping Platform,
helped resolve these challenges and provided Thinci with the best
verification throughput and increased performance across the fast
engines, reducing cycle time for tests at all phases of development—from
block, to SoC, to full system. Thinci also used the suite to perform
seamless multi-layer verification and smart bug hunting, reaping the
benefits of unified planning and management capabilities with
multi-engine coverage, and formal apps to address specific design
challenges, which together enabled faster development with higher
quality.

Using the Cadence Verification Suite, Thinci’s engineers were able to
reduce their IP and block-level regression times, while the incremental
build technology allowed them to shorten turnaround time for the highly
replicated designs needed for machine learning and AI systems.
Additionally, the integrated flow offered by solutions within the
Cadence Verification Suite allowed Thinci to expand its verification
capabilities to hardware and software co-verification, which was needed
to validate its SoCs, demonstrating readiness for end applications.

The Cadence Verification Suite is comprised of best-in-class core
engines, verification fabric technologies and solutions that increase
design quality across a wide variety of applications and vertical
segments, providing the best verification throughput. The Cadence
Verification Suite supports the Cadence System Design Enablement
strategy, which enables system and semiconductor companies to create
complete, differentiated end products more efficiently.
