Operational Impact
The implementation of the Cadence Incisive Enterprise Simulator with Specman technology has resulted in significant operational improvements for Xilinx. The solution has increased productivity for both hard and soft IP development and improved overall IP quality. Several cores have already been using the attribute generation solution in their regression successfully. Xilinx has recently released an internal regression management tool which uses this solution, and plans to deploy it on all silicon IP teams. The solution has also simplified the process for end users, requiring them to only specify the parameter values and constraints. This has made the solution easy to use and intuitive overall. | |
