Cadence Design Systems unveiled the Cadence Palladium Z1 enterprise emulation platform, the industry’s first datacentre-class emulation system, delivering up to 5x greater emulation throughput than the previous generation, with an average 2.5x greater workload efficiency than the closest competitor. With enterprise-level reliability and scalability, the Palladium Z1 platform executes up to 2304 parallel jobs and scales up to 9.2 billion gates, addressing the growing market requirement for emulation technology that can be efficiently utilized across global design teams to verify increasingly complex systems-on-chip (SoCs).

Palladium Z1 enterprise emulation platform features rack-based blade architecture to provide enterprise-class reliability, a 92% smaller footprint and 8x better gate density than the Palladium XP II platform. It offers a unique virtual target relocation capability, and payload allocation into available resources at run time, avoiding re-compiles.
