Siemens' PCIe networking protocol now supports CXL 3.0, enabling faster data transfer between billions of smart connected devices worldwide.

Siemens Digital Industries Software, a business unit of the Siemens EDA division, today announced that its simulator-independent Questa™ Verification IP solution now supports the new Compute Express Link (CXL) 3.0 protocol for high-performance computing (HPC) applications.

The Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) networking protocol that underpins CXL 3.0 enables rapid data transfer between the world's highest-performance cloud computing servers and billions of smart, connected devices worldwide.

Siemens' Questa Verification IP solution for CXL 3.0 is available immediately and seamlessly integrates into any advanced verification environment for any simulator.

For customers looking to integrate the new CXL 3.0 protocol into their next-generation designs, this solution helps them optimize productivity and flexibility in block-level design, subsystem design, and system-on-a-chip (SoC) design verification, thereby accelerating time-to-market.

Products from Siemens Digital Industries Software's IC Verification Solutions division“By providing early support for the new CXL 3.0 protocol, Siemens can help our customers differentiate and win in the highly competitive global HPC market,” said Mark Olen, Managing Director. “Available now for early adopters of the CXL 3.0 protocol, our new Questa Verification IP solution provides a proven, robust and comprehensive verification platform so our customers can verify their next-generation designs quickly and with confidence.”

Designed to accelerate verification closure and expose complex design issues, Siemens' Questa™ Verification IP solution supports detailed functional verification across all layers of the CXL 3.0 specification.

Siemens' latest offering includes ready-to-use verification components and complete stimulus data, increasing productivity and accelerating verification signoff. It also eliminates design biases found in many competing solutions.
