Arm customers operate in a highly customizable environment where they can integrate various intellectual property (IP) components with Arm Compute Subsystems (CSS). However, ensuring seamless interoperability with standard software presents a significant challenge. To tackle this, customers require a robust and qualified verification solution that consolidates all aspects of the integration into a single, comprehensive view, allowing them to focus on developing their unique design.
The Veloce PCIe composite device (PCD) was developed to address these verification challenges. It integrates multiple VirtuaLAB interface solutions, including PCIe, NVMe and the Arm Compliance Suite, into a single product. A unified protocol analyzer view of multiple interfaces gives users a system-level view of the CSS interfaces, giving the user immediate confidence by viewing bottlenecks, unusual delays and performance limitations. PCD simplifies the verification process of design integration with Arm CSS, chiplets and complex systems-on-chip (SoCs), providing an efficient and streamlined workflow.
Veloce PCD is the solution that allows the Arm Compliance Suite (ACS) to run efficiently and provide complete intuitive visibility of any issues. Notably, this is the same framework used by Arm to validate its own platform, ensuring that customers adopting Veloce PCD are leveraging an industry-proven solution.
Veloce PCD offers a verification-ready environment co-developed with Arm, enabling hyperscalers to conduct thorough verification with minimal effort. Customers can seamlessly integrate their design, bring up the entire CSS and commence software testing immediately.
Veloce PCD features:
- Configurability – Adaptable to various customer needs
- Speed – Accelerates verification and testing processes
- Comprehensive Solution – A one-stop shop for verification
- Low Power – Efficient energy consumption for large-scale deployments
- Scalability – Easily integrates into extensive cluster environments
