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 Accelerates Hyperscale SoC Design with Industry’s First Verification IP and System VIP for CXL 3.0

Next-generation CXL VIP and System VIP tools provide faster path to testing and compliance with the latest standard

Cadence Design Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: CDNS) today announced the availability of the industry’s first Verification IP (VIP) and System-Level VIP (System VIP) for the Compute Express Link (CXL) 3.0 standard to accelerate the adoption of the new technology. The Cadence VIP for CXL 3.0 is integrated with the Cadence VIP for PCI Express® (PCIe®) 6.0, providing a complete solution from IP to the system-on-chip (SoC) level that helps users create designs for high-performance data center applications.

The Cadence VIP for CXL provides high-performance model implementation that allows designers to quickly and thoroughly complete functional verification with less effort and greater assurance that the design will operate as expected. The VIP for CXL features Cadence TripleCheck technology, which provides a specification-compliant verification plan linked to comprehensive coverage models and a robust test suite to ensure compliance with the specification.

The Cadence System VIP solution has also been expanded to address the latest CXL specification. The solution includes the System Traffic Library for CXL that provides ready-to-use SoC-level tests that work seamlessly in both simulation and emulation, the System Performance Analyzer for automatic performance analysis from CXL to DDR, and the System Scoreboard that provides automatic coherency and data integrity checking.

“CXL is a disruptive technology that is quickly evolving, and early adopters need the ability to verify and ensure compliance with the specification to achieve the fastest path to IP verification closure,” said Jim Pappas, Director of Technology Initiatives, Intel Corporation. “We are delighted to see Cadence enabling advanced verification solutions for the newest standards, including the latest CXL 3.0 protocol.”

CXL has become fundamental for hyperscale, data center, and cloud applications, and with the release of the CXL 3.0 specification, there is a need for tools that meet the latest requirements to ensure that early adopters can successfully build and verify their SoCs,” said Paul Cunningham, senior vice president and general manager of the System & Verification Group at Cadence. “The Cadence CXL VIP and System VIP are broad, highly differentiated, and industry-proven solutions. By supporting the industry’s newest specifications and providing first-to-market verification solutions for both IP and the SoC level, Cadence allows customers to quickly implement new standards, such as CXL 3.0.”

The new VIP solutions are 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 VIP solutions and verification full flow support the company’s Intelligent System Design strategy, enabling SoC design excellence. For more information, please visit www.cadence.com/go/CXLVIP.
