Tachyon Design Automation

Tachyon Design Automation is a leading provider of advanced electronic design automation (EDA) solutions, specializing in the development of tools for simulating electronic hardware models. The company is renowned for its CVC simulator, a robust and comprehensive tool for Verilog Hardware Description Language (HDL) modeling, compliant with the IEEE 1364 2005 standard. This simulator is notable for its speed and reliability, making it a preferred choice for enterprises in the commercial electronic design space. The CVC simulator has been developed with efficiency in mind, translating Verilog to native X86_64 machine instructions. This allows it to execute as a simple native Linux binary, offering performance on par with the fastest commercial simulators. The tool supports very large gate and RTL capacities using its 64-bit CVC64 engine, which runs faster on modern hardware even though it results in larger binary files. Additionally, Tachyon Design Automation supports an open-source licensing model through OSS CVC, which is freely available for electronic design purposes under a Perl-style artistic license. For those needing more, the Enterprise OSS CVC offers commercial support with rapid response times, pre-tested binaries ensuring standard compliance, and the inclusion of white papers and documentation for solving common simulation issues. This setup enables companies to tackle simulation problems effectively and efficiently, offering a tailored solution to meet diverse enterprise needs. Read more
