Virtual PCIe Delivers a “Shift Left” in Software Defined Networking Emulation

This paper reviews both SW and UVM Vector Based Verification methodologies and Advanced Vector Based Verification that use SDN HW to service PCIe transactions to the DUT.

This paper reviews both SW and UVM Vector Based Verification methodologies and Advanced Vector Based Verification that use SDN HW to service PCIe transactions to the DUT. Explore how VirtuaLAB PCIe and Ethernet Virtual Machines (VM) work together, how they compete for host resources and how VMs address the big device management channel requirements for HW and SW co-verification in Veloce emulation.

This paper also discusses how VMs achieve greater functional coverage using a SDN SW High Availability test case example. Advanced development considerations highlight how checkpoint save/restore, protocol analyzer, SW configuration flexibility, ease of use and advanced debug features are markedly improved and combined into a single virtualization methodology platform.

Virtual PCIe is the right tool for SDN, accelerating the move to virtual emulation for customers working in this space. Virtual PCIe enables applications to interact with the emulation DUT just as if it were real silicon sitting on the bench, making it the ideal methodology for HW/SW co-verification.
