The innovative Veloce CS architecture integrates hardware acceleration simulation, enterprise prototyping, and software prototyping to accelerate validation and validation cycles by 10 times and reduce overall costs by 5 times
Veloce CS can be reused across all platforms for seamless migration and 10 times faster execution and commissioning of system workloads
• Modular and scalable interconnect blade mounting that eliminates the need for fixed-size enclosures and provides hardware AIDS for designs of all sizes

Siemens Digital Industry Software introduces the Veloce™ CS hardware-assisted verification and validation system. The system combines hardware simulation, enterprise prototyping and software prototyping and relies on two advanced integrated circuits (ics) – Siemens’ dedicated Crystal accelerator chips for hardware simulation. And the AMD Versal Premium VP1902 FPGA Adaptive SoC for enterprise and software prototyping.

1797-OB4D Veloce™ CS includes three new products:
Veloce™ Strato CS hardware for hardware acceleration simulation
Veloce™ Primo CS hardware for enterprise prototyping
Veloce™ proFPGA CS hardware for software prototyping

Veloce CS systems are built for consistency, speed and modularity across all three platforms, supporting designs that scale from 40 million gates to more than 40 billion gates. In addition, Veloce CS can select the right tools for the specific requirements of each task to efficiently run the entire system workload with excellent observability and consistency, thereby accelerating project convergence and reducing costs per validation cycle.

To achieve these capabilities, Siemens has worked with key customers and partners to develop innovative hardware and unified software architectures:
Compared to the previous generation of Veloce Strato, the Veloce Strato CS offers significantly improved hardware-accelerated simulation performance of up to five times, while maintaining full observability, extending support from 40 million to more than 40 billion gates.
Veloce Primo CS is based on AMD’s advanced Versal Premium VP1902 FPGA, providing a high degree of consistency in enterprise prototyping systems that similarly scale from 40 million gates to more than 40 billion gates.

Veloce Strato CS and Veloce Primo CS run on the same operating system and move seamlessly between platforms, significantly speeding up startup, setup, commissioning, and workload execution.
Veloce proFPGA CS is also based on AMD’s Versal Premium VP1902 FPGA adaptive SoC to create a high-speed, comprehensive software prototyping solution that scales from one FPGA to hundreds. This performance, combined with a highly flexible modular design, can help customers significantly accelerate firmware, operating system and application development, as well as the execution of system integration tasks.

1797-OB4D The Veloce CS features a modular blade configuration that meets the requirements of modern data centers for easy installation, low power consumption, excellent cooling performance and compact packaging. In addition, the Veloce proFPGA CS solution is available in a desktop lab version for further flexibility. The Veloce CS runs in sync with an AMD EPYC™ HP DL385g11 server.

AMD Global Fellow Alex Starr said: “The evolution of SoC and system-level design has brought many changes to the industry over the past decade, and hardware-assisted verification (HAV) has become increasingly important. AMD has been working closely with Siemens to incorporate the AMD Versal Premium VP1902 into the Veloce Primo CS and Veloce proFPGA CS systems to improve overall performance and scalability. “The Veloce CS also works with HP DL385 gen11 servers equipped with AMD EPYC cpus, demonstrating Siemens’ responsiveness to customer demands and the Veloce team’s continued innovation.”

In addition, customers have access to a comprehensive portfolio of applications and solutions that can be shared across the three new products of Veloce CS.

Tran Nguyen, Senior Director of Design Services at Arm, said: “Time to market is critical for the entire Arm partner ecosystem, and we need to provide modular, refined and efficient tools for IP and SoC validation. “The Siemens Veloce platform has been an integral part of Arm’s development process, and we see the continued benefits of Veloce Strato CS in terms of hardware design acceleration and software development.”

Jean Marie Brunet, Vice President and General Manager, Digital Industry Software Hardware Assisted Validation, Siemens, said: “Veloce CS’s three products provide a highly consistent, fast, modular hardware assistance system that meets the specific needs of hardware, software, and systems engineers to unlock energy and build advanced electronics. Veloce CS ‘innovative capabilities provide the right tools for each task, speeding up the entire validation process, reducing total cost of ownership and improving profitability.”
