Altair DSim is a comprehensive digital simulator designed to streamline semiconductor functional verification for ASIC and FPGA designs. Supporting a wide range of languages, including SystemVerilog, VHDL, and Verilog, DSim is ideal for advanced semiconductor applications requiring robust, high-speed functional verification. The platform is accessible through both on-premises installations and as a Simulation-as-a-Service (SaaS), offering flexibility and scalability. DSim enables concurrent, large-scale simulations to reduce both time and costs compared to traditional simulation methods. With seamless integration into cloud environments, users can scale simulations effortlessly, running thousands of tests concurrently for regression and verification purposes. The solution also supports IEEE 1735 encryption, ensuring intellectual property protection and offering comprehensive code coverage metrics. Altair DSim is designed for ease of use, with a simplified job orchestration system that allows users to quickly submit simulations to the cloud or manage complex test suites with minimal effort. Features:
- Mixed-Language Simulation supports VHDL, SystemVerilog, and Verilog within the same design for versatile and comprehensive verification.
- SaaS Model provides on-demand, cloud-based simulations, eliminating the need for hardware management and reducing overhead.
- Scalable Simulation allows for running thousands of tests concurrently, significantly accelerating verification processes.
- Easy Job Orchestration enables simple job submission and complex test suite creation with just a few clicks.
- Code Coverage provides detailed metrics, including block, expression, and toggle coverage, to ensure complete testbench coverage.
- Seamless C/C++ Integration supports integrating C/C++ models using multiple interfaces, such as DPI, PLI, and VPI.
- IP Security Support offers IEEE 1735 encryption for protecting proprietary IP and verifying third-party design IP.
- High Run-Time Performance ensures efficient simulations with optimized compiled-code architecture.
- Import Compatibility supports relaxed semantic checks for seamless compatibility with designs created in other simulators.
