EVE/ZeBu is a provider of hardware-assisted verification tools for

simulators from Synopsys, Cadence Design Systems and Mentor Graphics

. EVE's flagship product is ZeBu.

History

In 2000, EVE was founded in France.[1]

In 2002, EVE launched its flagship ZeBu's first emulation product and SystemC support.^[2]

In May 2006, EVE introduced a communication link to

FPGAs.^[3]

In January 2007, EVE acquired Tharas, a microprocessor-based hardware acceleration systems supplier.^[4]

In July 2009, EVE announced their ZeBu-Server emulator could handle one billion

logic gates.^[5]

In October 2012, EVE was acquired by Synopsys.[6]

Products

EVE has a ZeBu family of hardware acceleration and FPGA-based hardware emulation products, which EVE claims has design capacity scalable from 10M to 1B ASIC gates and a top speed of 30 MHz.^[5]

Features

The ZeBu emulator supports operational modes for

in-circuit emulator mode.^[7]

The ZeBu compiler does automation

CPUs

used for compilation.

ZeBu has static, dynamic and flexible probes for retrieving and depositing

compilation, with speeds exceeding 10 MHz. Dynamic probes do not require compilation, and slow down the execution speed of the emulator to few kilohertz.^[8]

ZeBu can be used by up to 25 multiple concurrent users.[9]
