DSim Cloud is:
-
The most affordable SystemVerilog and VHDL full-feature simulator on the market
-
Extremely easy to get started with – run your first simulation in less than 30 minutes!
-
Not limited to the number of simulations you need to run simultaneously
DSim Cloud Architecture
DSim Cloud, our Simulation as a Service solution,
is comprised of 4 key components
1
DSim Simulator
DSim is our cutting-edge, full-feature SystemVerilog and VHDL RTL simulator, optimized for maximum power and scalability in the cloud
2
The Platform
The Platform, hosted on Microsoft Azure, serves as the heart of DSim Cloud, coordinating secure communications between mdc, the Portal, and DSim, as well as orchestrating the running of multiple simulations in parallel based on user needs.
3
DSim Cloud CLI (mdc)
DSim Cloud CLI (mdc) is the command-line tool interface to DSim Cloud. Users can securely send commands via mdc to perform various commands, including running simulations and downloading files.
4
DSim Cloud Portal
DSim Cloud Portal is a web application where users can access key learning content, support resources, manage their workspaces, and view their usage information.
DSim Simulator (DSim)
DSim Cloud is deployed in Azure Cloud and allows you to run simulations on your local workstation. Powered by Metrics’ RTL Simulator, DSim, it comes with all the high-performance features you expect from an RTL Simulator, including the following:
UVM
-
• SystemVerilog LRM Compliant
• Gate-level timing and SDF
-
• Modern architecture: LLVM-based
• Competitive performance with EDA vendors
-
• UVM, Constraint solver
• SystemVerilog assertions (SVA)
• Code and functional coverage
SystemVerilog
-
• PLI and DPI support
-
• VHDL 1993 and 2008
• Mixed SV and VHDL
-
• Simulate encrypted IP from other vendors
• Encrypt your own code
The Platform
Securely store and download your simulation artifacts, such as log and waveform files.
Using industry-standard encryption protocols, your data is encrypted during transfer and while stored in the Cloud, ready to be used by DSim for simulation.
Orchestrate the running of two or more simulations in parallel; run thousands of simulations simultaneously for your regression needs to shorten your time to market.
Spin up compute resources as required for your simulation needs; there is no need to invest in powerful, expensive PCs and multiple simulator licenses.
DSim Cloud CLI (mdc)
Securely synchronize your local folder with your design files using DSim Cloud; You can learn more about that in our support article Understanding Workspaces.
A small footprint installer for Windows, Linux, and MacOS allows you to use DSim Cloud CLI on almost any machine.
Used to securely send encrypted commands to DSim Cloud, including running simulations, downloading simulation results (logs and waveforms), and managing your workspaces.
DSim Cloud Portal
Coming Soon
Access to the support team and the knowledgebase via our support chat app.
User portal to access key learning material, including getting-started tutorials and videos.
Orchestrate the running of two or more simulations in parallel; run thousands of simulations simultaneously for your regression needs to shorten your time to market.
View your usage of DSim Cloud and your DSim Cloud spend.
Manage and monitor all of your regressions in one place.
