Mentor Graphics Corporate Overview

Mentor Graphics® is a technology leader in electronic design automation (EDA), providing software and hardware design solutions that enable companies to develop better electronic products faster and more cost-effectively. The company offers innovative products and solutions that help engineers overcome the design challenges they face in the increasingly complex worlds of board and chip design. Mentor Graphics has the broadest industry portfolio of best-in-class products, and is the only EDA company with an embedded software solution.

Area of Focus: Scalable Verification

Mentor Graphics provides its customers with critical tools for solving the increasingly complicated problems of verifying that today’s complex chip designs actually function as intended. Functional errors at the system level are the leading cause of design revisions affecting time to market and profitability. Design teams must improve existing methodologies with tools that scale across design complexity and multiple levels of abstraction. The Mentor Graphics Scalable Verification™ platform is the most comprehensive EDA solution for functional verification, merging standards support, tools and a “design for verification” methodology to minimize verification cycles and design revisions. This solution provides the industry’s best language support and the most compete path for verification, from hardware description language (HDL) simulation to in-circuit emulation, including support for testbenches , assertions and functional prototypes. Mentor’s integrated technologies provide the greatest breadth and depth to enable thorough verification at every stage of design: block, sub-system and full system.

The Scalable Verification platform is comprised of “best-in-class” technologies: the ModelSim® simulation environment, Seamless® Hardware/Software Co-Verification, ADVanceMS™ for analog/mixed-signal verification, FormalPro™ equivalence checking and the VStation ™ and Celaro™ hardware emulation platforms.

How ModelSim fits into Mentor Graphics vision for Functional Verification

The Scalable Verification platform is comprised of “best-in-class” technologies: the ModelSim® simulation environment, Questa(tm) verification platform, Codelink, Seamless® Hardware/Software Co-Verification, ADVanceMS™ for analog/mixed-signal verification, and the VStation ™ and Celaro™ hardware emulation platforms.

To verify today’s multimillion-gate designs, you need a comprehensive, scalable approach that brings together tools, methodologies, and standards. ModelSim’s Design environment is a key part of Mentor Graphics’ Scalable Verification(tm) solution and delivers on all fronts. It has tools that scale across design complexity and utilize multiple levels of abstraction. With its high performance and best-in-class GUI, ModelSim provides a comprehensive simulation and debug environment for today's complex ASIC and FPGA designs.
