Specman Elite
With Verisity's Specman Elite, you capture the rules from the specifications and use this info to automate the functional verification process. Specman Elite's methodology finds the "bugs you haven't thought of" in your Verilog or VHDL design -- caused primarily by ambiguities in the spec, or unanticipated usage by the target system. The result? Faster verification and higher quality products. Get working silicon to market on time! (New! Specman Elite SureCov Integration Flash Demo)

vManager
Verisity’s vManager is the industry’s first solution that automates the management of complex verification projects and guides verification from planning and goal setting, to closure. vManager automates the deployment of simulation runs, analyzes failures and coverage data and controls the steps towards closure.

SpeXtreme
A high-performance chip and system-level verification system that combines direct testbench compilation, verification process automation, native compiled code mixed-language simulation and event-based acceleration and emulation. SpeXtreme offers performance improvements of 20-100x for simulation acceleration and a smooth transition to Mhz system-level emulation.

eAnalyzer
eAnalyzer is an intuitive static analysis and methodology tool that simplifies verification environment development with a unique combination of rules and methodology checks; including Verisity’s e Reuse Methodology (eRM™) compliance reporting and Coverage-Driven Verification (CDV) guidance.

eCelerator
eCelerator uses innovative synthesis technology to transform the most frequently executed portions of your e testbenches for acceleration via hardware. By shifting the computationally most expensive parts onto hardware, you can achieve significant performance gains in your verification- from 10x to 50x or more. Regression runs which can take weeks to complete can now be finished in hours. And since part of your testbench remains on the workstation, all the features of Specman Elite are accessible.

SureCov
SureCov gives you the fastest, most complete code coverage capability on the market. With Verisity's SureCov, you see graphically which modules have been sufficiently exercised and which require additional effort. With this measure of effectiveness of your functional test suite, you can predict how much effort remains and your verification engineers can clearly see which sections of the design have not yet been adequately covered.

sVM – System Verification Methodology
The System Verification Methodology (sVM) is a prepackaged verification knowledge-transfer system that provides 10x automation power for SoC and system-level designs. sVM includes powerful multi-channel generation based on Verisity’s highly successful Specman Elite™ testbench automation. sVM is an integral part of a complete Verification Process Automation solution.

eRM – e Reuse Methodology
Verisity’s eRM provides dramatic functional verification productivity gains for advanced ASICs and SoCs through it’s comprehensive set of best-known methods for eVC development practices. eRM allows engineers to achieve consistency when developing their own eVCs or using those obtained from external sources. By following the step-by-step guidelines and common usage model set forth by eRM, engineers save verification time and effort, and are seeing significant quality improvements.

eVC– e Verification Component
Verisity and partners provide "e" Verification Components (eVCs) also known as VIP. These components are pre-verified, reusable verification IP that drastically cut down the time it takes to create your verification environment. They are based on Verisity's high-level verification language, e, so you know they'll work with Specman Elite right from the start. By incorporating eVCs into your design, you find more bugs, faster. Almost all eVCs are now eRM compliant, so they're guaranteed to plug and play together.

 

Xsim
Xsim is a high performance native compiled code event based HDL simulator that is included in Xcite, Xtreme, and XoC packages. Xsim supports mixed Verilog, VHDL, and SystemC languages, and has a supported interface to Specman Elite. Xsim is over 6 years old and has successfully executed numerous designs in the 30-50 million gate range.

XoC
XoC™ is an all-inclusive, unified verification system for ARM microprocessor-based designs that reduces communications overhead and eliminates time-intensive integration efforts for design teams. XoC enables the smooth transition between all nine different operating modes from block-level testing through application software and features a Co-Verification Debugger that creates a common communication environment between hardware and software teams through AMBA™ transactions.

Xtreme
Xtreme® offers simulation, acceleration, emulation, and hardware/software co-verification, in a unified, compact, server-sized system, at speeds of up to 1 million cycles per second on designs of up to 100 million ASIC gates. Xtreme provides full debugging capabilities throughout the entire verification flow, allowing emulation to start much earlier in the design cycle.

Xcite
Xcite® offers simulation acceleration performance of up to 100,000 cycles per second on designs of up to 10 million ASIC gates. Xcite delivers hardware performance with software debugging capabilities. Designers can run simulation as fast as possible while quickly detecting and isolating design problems.

Xtreme-II
Xtreme-II offers Platform Verification, a unified verification environment designed to enable a platform-based design flow. Leveraging the patented ReConfigurable Computing (RCC) technology, Xtreme-II offers the best solution for simulation, acceleration and emulation in one unified system. By leveraging the latest FPGA technologies, Xtreme-II delivers fast runtime performance and the highest capacity, while preserving the native RTL simulation debugging environment.

Xtreme Server
The Xtreme Server is a multi-session, next-generation acceleration and emulation solution that meets the requirements for high-performance chip- and system-level verification. It offers simulation, acceleration, emulation and hardware/software co-verification, in a unified, compact, server-sized system, at speeds of up to 1 million cycles per second on designs of up to 100 million ASIC gates.

Xpert
Xpert™ for ARM processors is an integrated co-verification tool for designs utilizing ARM microprocessor cores and Verisity's ReConfigurable Computing (RCC) platform for design verification. It provides simulation models and software debugging tools to isolate and fix even the most complex errors. Xpert for ARM processors provides the best balance of visibility, control, and performance for integrating software and hardware in an easy to use environment.
