DSim Desktop is a versatile Visual Studio Code extension, offering unparalleled flexibility in SystemVerilog and VHDL simulation, supporting both cloud-based and local (on-prem) workflows.
Highlights
Free On-Prem Simulator: Enjoy a no-cost, single individual license for on-prem use of DSim, perfect for local design and verification.
Seamless Cloud Scale: Easily scale regressions to run in the Metrics DSim Cloud, harnessing its powerful scaling capabilities with the same DSim simulator, with an industry first pay-as-you-go pricing.
Flexible and Efficient: Whether you're working on-prem or leveraging cloud capabilities, or both, DSim Desktop provides a seamless, efficient SystemVerilog and VHDL simulation experience.
Cost Effective: Use DSim for SystemVerilog and VHDL simulation locally for free and take advantage of cloud scale at pennies per minute with no upfront costs.
DSim Desktop adapts to your project's needs, from individual design and verification to large-scale cloud operations.
DSim Desktop Features
Cloud and On-Prem Flexibility: Choose between free on-prem DSim for your simulations and the scalable DSim Cloud.
Hassle-Free On-Prem Installation: Install DSim on-prem directly from the extension without the complexity of traditional simulator installations.
Cloud Simulations with In-Extension Monitoring: Launch and monitor cloud-based simulations directly from the extension for a streamlined workflow.
Customizable Environment: Tailor settings to your preferences, including shell types and DSim installation paths.
Library Management: Efficiently manage design libraries and utilize precompiled libraries from various vendors.
Interactive Simulations with Waveform Viewer: Configure multiple simulations and run the one you need without switching context.
Waveform Viewer: Debug runs with the integrated waveform viewer for enhanced visualization and analysis.
DSim Simulator Features
RTL Simulation for SystemVerilog and VHDL: Comprehensive and fully-featured simulator with support for VHDL, Verilog, and SystemVerilog.
Advanced Verification: Supports UVM, constraint solvers, and SystemVerilog assertions (SVA) for thorough code and functional coverage.
Integration: Facilitates integration with PLI and DPI, and handles VHDL (1993 and 2008) as well as mixed SV/VHDL.
Encryption: Includes IEEE 1735 encryption support (V1, V2, and V3).
DSim Cloud Features
Ease of Use: Start simulating in the cloud in under 30 minutes.
Flexible Workflow: Simulate on-prem and in the cloud in any way that suits the required workflow.
Pay-as-you-go: Eliminates the need for usage predictions and large upfront investments, aligning costs directly with actual usage.
Cost Efficiency: Cost effective solution for small projects up to large scale simulation needs.
Robust Encryption: All data is encrypted during transit and storage, ensuring maximum protection for your IP and sensitive information.
World-Class Authentication: Advanced security measures are employed to counter threats like password spray or brute force attacks, ensuring the integrity of user accounts.
IP Disposal and User-Controlled File Management: Your IP is used solely for simulations and promptly disposed of afterward. You control the retention of necessary simulation files (ex. logs and waves for analysis).
