VC Verification IP for NVMe

Synopsys VC VIP for Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) is designed to help thoroughly verify NVMe designs using both random and directed simulation.

VC VIP for NVMe is an add-on to the Synopsys VC VIP PCI Express. The VIP is implemented to be verification methodology neutral, and can be integrated with and controlled by any hardware verification language.
