Questa One redefines integrated circuit (IC) verification from a reactive process into an intelligent, self-optimizing system

Questa One 将集成电路 (IC) 验证从一个被动的过程重新定义为一个智能的、自我优化的系统。

Questa One delivers faster engines, enables faster engineers and requires fewer workloads to support the largest, most complex designs from IP to System-on-a-chip (SoC) to Systems, and was developed with advanced 3D-ICs, chiplet-based designs and software-defined architectures in mind.

Questa One 提供更快的引擎，助力工程师提高效率，并减少工作负载以支持从知识产权（IP）到片上系统（SoC）再到系统的最大、最复杂设计，同时在开发时充分考虑了先进的3D集成电路、基于小芯片的设计以及软件定义架构。

“Questa One transforms the IC design process to address the verification productivity gap and solves the IC industry’s rapidly growing challenges associated with increasingly complex designs,” said Abhi Kolpekwar, vice president & general manager, Digital Verification Technologies, Siemens Digital Industries Software.

“Questa One 转变了 IC 设计流程，以解决验证生产力差距，并解决了 IC 行业因设计日益复杂而迅速增长的挑战，”西门子数字工业软件公司数字验证技术副总裁兼总经理阿比·科尔佩克瓦尔表示。

“Questa One uses new technical advances to deliver the fastest functional, fault and formal verification engines available, yet customers tell us that performance alone isn’t enough – they also need deeper connectivity across our unmatched verification, validation and test workflows, which Questa One provides.

“Questa One 利用新的技术进步，提供了目前最快的函数、故障和形式验证引擎，但客户告诉我们，仅性能是不够的——他们还需要在我们无与伦比的验证、确认和测试工作流程之间实现更深层次的连接，而 Questa One 正好满足了这一需求。”

Combined with our application of AI, Siemens’ verification solutions are truly yielding step-function gains in productivity by early adopters across smart creation, smart regression, smart analysis, smart engine and smart debug domains.”.

结合我们对人工智能的应用，西门子的验证解决方案正在通过早期采用者在智能创建、智能回归、智能分析、智能引擎和智能调试领域实现生产率的阶跃式提升。
