<\/a>In today\u2019s complex automotive, industrial, medical and aerospace systems, functional safety and high reliability are mandatory in order to comply with safety standards like ISO 26262<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 Integrated Circuits in these applications require three types of functional safety verification for (1) systemic faults, (2) malicious faults and (3) random hardware faults.\u00a0 Mentor\u2019s current products have solutions to uncover systemic faults and verification solutions of malicious faults for IC security.\u00a0 The Austemper<\/strong><\/a> technology adds state-of-the-art safety analysis, auto-correction and fault simulation technology to address random hardware faults.<\/p>\nInnovative Technology Performs Fault Simulation at Orders of Magnitude Faster than Competing Systems<\/h3>\n
Austemper technology analyzes a designer\u2019s RTL for faults and vulnerabilities and is capable of smart fault injection to ensure safety mechanisms react in a planned manner for covered faults.\u00a0 Through parallelized and distributed operation methods, proprietary acceleration algorithms are used to achieve speed-ups of many orders of magnitude over standard gate-level fault injection techniques.<\/p>\n
Acquisition Builds on Siemens\u2019 Digitization Strategy<\/h3>\n
As Siemens disclosed<\/strong><\/a>, it plans to integrate Austemper\u2019s technology into Mentor\u2019s IC verification portfolio.\u00a0 This will build on a larger Siemens world-class functional safety solution available to companies developing digital twins of safety-critical systems that are at the heart of autonomous vehicles, smart cities and industrial equipment in Factory 4.0<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 Digital twins allow the development and test of systems to the highest degree possible before manufacture and deployment.<\/p>\n There are numerous venues where you can learn more about this at DAC.\u00a0 The Mentor Graphics booth (#2621) and the Verification Academy booth (#1622) have planned presentations on Monday.\u00a0 The Austemper team can be found at booth #2456 during the conference.\u00a0 For conference attendees, there is a program panel on \u201cThe Automotive Digital Twin \u2013 Virtual or Virtually Impossible\u2026\u201d on Tuesday with Sanjay Pillay from Austemper as a panelist.\u00a0 We hope to see you at DAC and share more about the breakthrough functional safety products we have.<\/p>\n Monday:<\/u> Verification Academy Booth #1622<\/strong>
