Synopsys Announces Industry's First DDR5 NVDIMM-P Verification IP for Next-generation Storage-class Memory Designs

Native SystemVerilog VIP Features Built-in Coverage,Verification Planning,Memory-aware Debug,and Performance Analysis

MOUNTAIN VIEW,California,May 7,2019 -- Synopsys,Inc. (Nasdaq:SNPS) today announced the availability of the industry's first verification IP (VIP) for Non-Volatile Dual In-line Memory Module (NVDIMM-P) for DDR5/4. NVDIMM-P is the next-generation storage-class memory for enterprise applications ranging from big data,storage,andin-memory databases,to real-time processing; with challenging requirements of performance,security,and endurance,as well as persistence,reliability,and uptime of memory. Synopsys VC VIP for NVDIMM-P enables the design of next-generation memory devices with ease-of-use,fast integration,and optimum performance,resulting in accelerated verification closure.

"Samsung is working to develop a strong ecosystem for NVDIMM-P,providing storage-class memory solutions with best-in-class performance,persistence," said Jinman Han,senior vice president of Memory Product Planning and Application Engineering Team at Samsung. "Through our close collaboration with Synopsys to develop the next-generation memory technologies,we enable mutual customers to successfully adopt the latest memory solutions."

NVDIMM-P is a two-in-one hybrid memory technology with non-volatility and persistence of Flash,and speed,performance,and endurance of DRAM. Synopsys VC VIP for NVDIMM-P uses a next-generation native SystemVerilog Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) architecture that enables ease of integration within existing verification environments to accelerate time to first test. VC VIP for NVDIMM-P is natively integrated with Synopsys' Verdi® Protocol and Performance Analyzer. Built-in coverage and verification plans are also provided for faster verification closure.

"Synopsys offers comprehensive DRAM and Flash memory verification solutions for all existing and next-generation technologies,including DDR5,LPDDR5,DFI 5.0,HBM3,3DS,MRAM,and now NVDIMM-P," said Vikas Gautam,vice president of R&D for the Synopsys Verification Group. "By working closely with standard organizations and memory vendors to deliver and deploy first-in-industry customer-proven solutions,we enable the market makers to adopt the latest memory technologies rapidly."

Availability

Synopsys VC VIP for NVDIMM-P for DDR5/4 is available today as early access.
