Tachyon Design Automation

Tachyon Design Automation is a company deeply involved in the field of electronic design automation (EDA), focusing on the development and support of tools for Verilog hardware description language (HDL) simulation. Their flagship product, CVC, is a comprehensive IEEE 1364-2005 compliant Verilog HDL simulator renowned for its performance and speed, being at least as fast as any available commercial Verilog simulator. This simulator is uniquely capable of compiling Verilog code to native X86_64 machine instructions designed to operate seamlessly within a Linux environment. The company embraces both commercial and open-source models, offering their simulator under the OSS CVC license. This approach allows electronics designers access to advanced simulation tools without cost barriers, promoting innovation and development in the semiconductor space. For those seeking additional support and ready-made binaries, Tachyon Design Automation provides an Enterprise version of OSS CVC under commercial terms. Tachyon Design Automation prides itself on the versatility and capacity of CVC. The simulator ensures fast, native-compiled simulation and supports extensive gate and RTL capacities, invariably providing a high-performance tool tailored for complex hardware designs. The platform's ability to perform both compiled and interpreted simulations allows designers to efficiently manage large-scale projects, particularly in the early phases of design. Furthermore, the company’s focus on integrating modern features such as X-propagation synthesizable Verilog expression evaluation and toggle coverage ensures robust design verification. To simplify the user experience and enhance usability, Tachyon Design Automation offers extensive resources, including quick start guides and scientific papers that provide insights into the unique compiler innovations within CVC. The community and potential customers are encouraged to engage with the tool, as Tachyon Design Automation remains committed to supporting technical excellence and fostering a collaborative user environment.
