MEDIA ALERT: Breker Verification Systems to Discuss Silicon Verification of 144-Processor Multi-SoC Cavium Design and Exhibit at DVCon Will Demonstrate Ability to Provide Turnkey Portable Stimulus for Cache Coherency across All Verification Platforms

SAN JOSE, CALIF. –– February 23, 2016

WHO: Breker Verification Systems (www.brekersystems.com), The System-on-Chip (SoC) Verification

Company

WHAT: Will present a technical paper co-authored by Cavium, Inc. during the Design and Verification

Conference and Exhibition (DVCon) in Silicon Valley. The presentation on “Using Portable Stimulus to

Verify Cache Coherency in a Many-Core SoC” will discuss how the Cavium team used Breker’s Trek family of products to automatically generate interacting test cases for 144 processor cores distributed across three SoC devices in the bring-up lab. Breker’s Cache Coherency TrekApp verified full coherency across 96 of the cores while TrekSoC-Si simultaneously generated complex PCI Express (PCIe) traffic using 48 additional cores. All test cases are self-verifying and portable between simulation and hardware platforms. In addition to this talk, Breker CEO Adnan Hamid will appear on the “Redefining ESL” panel and Breker will be demonstrating its products during the DVCon exhibition. WHEN: Exhibits: Monday, February 29, from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m.; Tuesday and Wednesday, March 1-2, from 2:30 p.m. until 6 p.m.
