Draco-VA Background
Draco-VA has evolved and proven itself in development of more than 20
ASICS in various industries: Java processors, TCP/IP
Networking Processors, 10G/40G high-end Networking ASICs (Sonet,
Ethernet, and Fiber Channel), Multimedia (Cable modem and MPEG)
ASICs, and SOC (USB and MP3).
Draco-VA provides a unified RTL
simulation and emulation verification environment. The following is
an example for a 24-port 10G Ethernet switch.
Advanced in
Verification Automation
By manipulating the data structure, a
program can be fully controlled. All the tools and the testbench
components, including the DUT are controlled by the use of the
simple objected-oriented language, i.e.,
SDL. Unlike traditional computer language,
SDL manipulates objects (variables
and data structures) in a tool without sequential execution of
programming statements. SDL
separates programming from verification execution, thus, enables an
engineer or a computer program to create many high quality tests
that are as good as the original programmer who writes the tool.
Moreover, any third-party software module can be controlled in
SDL either via Application
Programming Interface (API) or direct source code modification.
