INTEL DEVELOPER FORUM, SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 16, 2003 Netsys Software Pvt. Ltd. (nSys), a solution provider for emerging standards, today announced the availability of its PCI Express Verification Solution called the PCI Express nVS, based on VHDL. nSys had earlier announced the availability of PCI Express nVS in Verilog and OpenVera. The PCI Express nVS are targeted to market segments, such as client, enterprise Intel architecture servers, and embedded and communications devices. The PCI Express nVS significantly reduce the verification time for complex system-on-chip (SoC) designs that are using the PCI Express protocol.

All the three product offerings for the PCI Express nVS in Verilog, VHDL & OpenVera are tested and validated using the Intel PCI Express bus functional model. Most of the users of the PCI Express nVS have appreciated its User friendliness and intuitiveness" said Atul Bhatia, Director at nSys. Our customers have also benefited from the availability of the Test Suites for the Compliance tests based upon the PCISIG checklist as well as the Directed, Random and Error tests. It was a pleasant surprise to a couple of users when they found bugs in their DUT during evaluation phase itself in spite of having tested the DUT with some other BFMs."

Availability of verification tools aid developers in their delivery of PCI Express solutions." said Bala Cadambi, Intels PCI Express initiative manager. By accelerating development time, industry players are able to keep on track for time to market delivery of PCI Express enabled solutions starting next year."

The PCI Express nVS are backed by an efficient and knowledgeable customer support team.
