About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Cadence Announces Full DRAM Verification Solution for Automotive, Data Center, and Mobile Applications

Highlights:

  • New solution accelerates IP-to-SoC-level verification for complex memory controllers, PHYs and devices for LPDDR5x, DDR5, HBM3 and GDDR6 protocols
  • Up to 10X increase in verification throughput enables total IP-to-SoC-level verification of advanced designs with multiple DDR interfaces

Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: CDNS) today announced a new DRAM verification solution, allowing customers to test and optimize system-on-chip (SoC) designs for data center, consumer, mobile and automotive applications. Using the full DRAM verification solution, which delivers up to 10X increased verification throughput, customers can quickly and effectively perform IP-to-SoC-level verification of advanced designs with multiple DDR interfaces.

Modern SoC designs leverage advanced memory technologies, such as LPDDR5x, DDR5, HBM3 and GDDR6, which require rigorous verification at the PHY and IP levels to ensure compliance with the JEDEC standard as well as SoC-level verification to meet application-specific system performance definitions and data and cache coherency requirements.

“DRAM memory verification requires unique methods to ensure that all timing, power and throughput requirements are met in various conditions,” said Paul Cunningham, senior vice president and general manager, R&D, in the System & Verification Group at Cadence. “With the industry’s first full DRAM verification solution, we’re enabling our customers to verify their IP designs effectively and ensure their designs comply with the JEDEC standard specification as well as the memory subsystem application-specific performance metrics to provide the fastest path to IP and system verification closure.”

The new DRAM verification solution enables IP-level verification through Cadence® PHY VIPs and memory models with a direct and seamless path to SoC-level verification with the Cadence System VIP solution, including the System Performance Analyzer, System Traffic Libraries and System Scoreboard, all with built-in integration and content for DRAM interfaces, enabling fast and efficient memory subsystem and SoC verification for simulation and emulation environments.

The solution also includes Cadence TripleCheck technology, which provides users with a verification plan linked to a specification, including JEDEC, DFI and PHY, comprehensive coverage models, and a test suite to ensure compliance with the interface specification.

“Micron is committed to leading the development of next-generation memory technologies that drive value from the data center to the intelligent edge and across client and mobile user experiences,” said Malcolm Humphrey, vice president and general manager of the Compute DRAM Products Group at Micron. “Our collaboration with Cadence accelerates ecosystem development to deliver innovative memory solutions.”

The new verification solution for DRAM verification is part of the broader Cadence verification full flow, which includes Palladium® Z2 emulation, Protium X2 prototyping, Xcelium simulation, the Jasper® Formal Verification Platform, the Helium Virtual and Hybrid Studio, and the vManager Verification Management Platform. The Cadence verification full flow delivers the highest verification throughput of bugs per dollar invested per day. The DRAM verification solution and verification full flow support the company’s Intelligent System Design strategy, enabling SoC design excellence.
