Come and see what Siemens EDA’s Verification IP experts are talking about at the Flash Memory Summit event. This annual conference in Santa Clara, California covers all things Flash Memory. It includes today’s advanced protocols such as CXL and NVMe as well as SSD standards and variants.

Evolving NVMe Solutions

There have been many advancements in NVMe evolution. The 2.0 protocol provides core values – fast, simple, scalable, and fostering areas of innovation while minimizing impact on broadly deployed solutions. This has created an extensible specification infrastructure that will take the industry through the next phase of growth in NVMe technology.

Presentations from Siemens EDA

At the upcoming Flash Memory Summit 2022 event this August 2-4 at the Santa Clara Convention Center, members of the Questa Verification IP R&D team from Siemens EDA will explain what you need to know. We can help you with the verification of the RTL design of your NVMe solution, with the following presentations:

  • Upgrading Verification Infrastructure for NVMe 2.0
    Prashant Dixit
    This presentation on Thursday August 4th is about NVMe version 2.0 verification. It covers tracking the new specification, what will require to be updated in your functional verification solution when moving to 2.0, the benefits of an independent monitor solution, and looking at a case study.
  • Accelerating verification of new generation SSDs
    Himani Kaushik
    The second presentation from Siemens EDA on Thursday August 4th is about verification of the newest SSD designs. We cover fast data transmission evolution and solutions, performance characteristice, what to expect from storage verification solutions, and debug recommendations.

The presentations are in the “Testing and Performance” track of the 2022 conference. The FMS event is packed full of topics covering all aspects of the storage market and technologies, presented by Siemens and many of our customers and partners in the industry. Here is where you can find out more about our solutions for NVMe verification and get in touch with our sales teams.

Hope to see you there!
