- Prodigy Player Pro-7 Advances S2C's Auto-Partitioning, and System-Level

Timing Analysis

S2C, a leading global supplier of FPGA-based prototyping solutions for

accelerated SoC verification, announced the release of its enriched prototyping

software dubbed Prodigy Player Pro-7.  The new software suite breaks out Player

Pro-RunTime, to strengthen prototype platform control and hardware test for its

high-capacity platforms; Player Pro-CompileTime, to enhance the automation of

multi-FPGA partitioning and pre/post-partition timing analysis; and Player

Pro-DebugTime, to improve the efficiency of multi-FPGA debug probing and trace

viewing with S2C's class-leading MDM Pro debug tools.

Emphasizing large-scale SoC design prototyping, Player Pro-7 offers enhanced

support for multi-FPGA implementations, including:

RTL Partitioning and Module Replication to support Parallel Design Compilation

and reduce Time-to-Implementation

Pre/Post-Partition System-Level Timing Analysis for Increased Productivity

SerDes TDM Mode for Optimal Multi-FPGA Partition Interconnect and Higher

Prototype Performance

Multi-FPGA prototyping has never been easy.  Not in the early days of

commercial FPGA prototyping products circa 1985 with relatively small FPGAs –

and, not today with massive FPGAs like the Xilinx VU19P and the Intel Stratix

GX 10M.  The challenges are not merely the ever-growing chip design sizes but

also the need to validate SoC software prior to first silicon.  This Player

Pro-7 software release heralds S2C's continued progress toward delivering an

easier path to affordable, high capacity, high performance, high productivity

FPGA prototyping solutions.

The new Player Pro-7 software enhancements are available for all S2C Prodigy

Logic System and Logic Matrix prototype hardware platforms, speeding prototype

implementation, and reducing overall time-to-prototyping.  As S2C tracks the

dynamic landscape of high-performance SoC design with increasing gate-counts,

more frequent multi-core prototype implementations, and the exploding

verification demands of software-dependent hardware, the new Player Pro-7

software clearly signals S2C's resolve to advance its position as a leading

global supplier of FPGA-based prototyping solutions.

"The new improvements with our Player Pro-7 software will 'ease the pain' of

implementing multi-FPGA prototypes and increase our customer's productivity",

commented Toshio Nakama, CEO of S2C, Inc.  "We're committed to our belief that,

when it comes to multi-FPGA prototyping for large-scale designs, 'If we build

it, they will come'".

"The combination of S2C's Prodigy Logic System hardware and Prodigy Player Pro

software is a proven choice for accelerating system validation and software

development. We applaud S2C's Player Pro-CompileTime software for its automated

RTL-to-FPGA flow that delivers high performance and faster prototype

implementation times compared with the previous generation Player Pro

software." said Dr. Liewei Xu, General Manager at Fudan Microelectronics Group.

"We are excited to see S2C's continued innovation in prototyping solutions,

that delivers significant benefits to engineering projects and accelerates

time-to-market."
