GDDR4 Memory Model provides an smart way to verify the GDDR4 component of a SOC or a ASIC. The SmartDV's GDDR4 memory model is fully compliant with standard GDDR4 Specification and provides the following features. Better than Denali Memory Models.
GDDR4 Memory Model is supported natively in SystemVerilog, VMM, RVM, AVM, OVM, UVM, Verilog, SystemC, VERA, Specman E and non-standard verification env
GDDR4 Memory Model comes with optional Smart Visual Protocol Debugger (Smart ViPDebug), which is GUI based debugger to speed up debugging.
