Digital Media Professionals Uses Cadence Palladium XP Verification Computing Platform and Hosted Design Solutions to Speed Time to Market

Cadence Hosted Design Solutions provide Digital Media Professionals with remote access to the Palladium XP platform, providing a secure connection to their verification environment

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- 02 Mar 2017 -- Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS) today announced that Digital Media Professionals is using the Cadence^® Palladium^® XP Verification Computing Platform along with the company’s Hosted Design Solutions (HDS) to expand its emulation capacity and manage verification cycles remotely. The software as a service (SaaS) solution helps ensure the timely delivery of graphics-based systems on chips (SoCs) for multimedia applications. Having remote access to the Palladium XP platform enabled the Digital Media Professionals team to run more jobs dynamically and efficiently execute on all the possible verification scenarios required for successful design signoff. The Palladium XP platform and Cadence HDS helped them get to market two to three months faster and deliver a higher quality product when compared with a design flow without emulation functionality.

While the Palladium XP platform provided all the advanced capabilities that Digital Media Professionals needed, the company decided to incorporate Cadence HDS to facilitate even greater productivity. Secure VPN access to the hosted Palladium XP platform enabled Digital Media Professionals to access the remote verification environment with the same rich functionality as if the hardware was on site. Digital Media Professionals also had the ability to transfer their design data securely and the flexibility to access additional peak capacity without the added internal logistics of having the Palladium XP platform hosted locally.

“As a leading provider of IP and chips for GPU and image recognition, our customers rely on us for the timely delivery of differentiated products for imaging and vision applications including video games, video production, medical and aerospace,” said Eisaku Ohbuchi, Managing Director, General Manager of Development Division at Digital Media Professionals. “The combination of the Palladium XP platform and Cadence HDS offered us the convenience of accessing peak emulation cycles remotely and securely, which greatly improved our productivity and enabled us to deliver high-quality designs that our customers have come to expect from us.”

The Palladium XP platform, which is part of the Cadence Verification Suite, is a high-performance, special-purpose verification computing platform that unifies best-in-class simulation acceleration and emulation capabilities in a single environment.
