Denali Software announced that its PureSpec PCI Express (PCIe) verification intellectual property (VIP) product, supports the complete PCI-SIG I/O Virtualization (IOV) specifications, now including Multi-Root IOV(MR-IOV). The PCI-SIG IOV suite of specifications minimizes system hardware and software requirements, allowing the simultaneous sharing of peripherals across multiple microprocessors and operating systems, increasing the performance of virtualized systems and enabling power savings. Denali's PureSpec VIP allows verification engineers to verify their next-generation designs, ranging from server processors and network chipset to communication systems, for compliance to the latest PCIe standard, and take advantage of the newest set of IOV technologies.

"PCI-SIG recently announced its suite of specifications for I/O virtualization designed to improve performance and lower CPU/memory consumption," states Al Yanes, PCI-SIG President. "PCI-SIG values Denali's contributions to the industry adoption of our specifications through its work to develop IP products that support the suite of PCI-SIG IOV standards."

"Denali understands the challenges facing design teams, including the complex IOV requirements for complex server, switch and router systems," states Sanjiv Kumar, director of VIP products at Denali Software. "As a provider of PCIe verification IP, our customers use our complete high-quality verification IP that addresses all aspects of the latest PCI-SIG specification. Their designs can meet PCI-SIG IOV compliance and help verification engineers significantly shorten their validation cycle."
