Spirent Is Bringing Chipset Testing to Pre-Silicon Verification with Palladium and Protium Platforms

Cadence and Spirent are collaborating to help reduce complexity and enable more accurate and faster replication for Ethernet chipsets. The seamless integration of the Spirent TestCenter virtual traffic generator into the Cadence virtual Ethernet tester software for Palladium Emulation and Protium Prototyping hardware brings Ethernet traffic generation, testing, and troubleshooting capabilities to pre-silicon verification. This integrated solution brings sophisticated real-world Ethernet traffic testing capabilities, traditionally only available in post-silicon validation, to the pre-silicon verification process.
