• Trek technology will help to achieve a higher level of verification on SoC designs and provide a 2-3X reduction of effort.   Olivier Haller
    Verification Methodology Manager

  • Their [Breker] SoC verification strategy proposal is solid and we are happy of the improvements it brings to our flow.  Design Verification Engineer

  • Trek is reducing development time, improving coverage and easing communication between the various verification stakeholders   Olivier Haller
    Verification Methodology Manager

  • I was impressed with how easy it [Trek] was to integrate it into our existing environment. The graph based approach to generating testcases complements our exiting VMM constrained random test-benches very well.   Design Verification Engineer

  • [We] are now using Trek in key areas of future GPU projects   Jonah Alben

  • They [Breker] leverage an already existing testsuite to create more stressful SoC tests   Design Verification Engineer

  • Trek is so verstile, that I was able to plug in a Trek graph that modeled the DUT in place of the DUT (whose RTL for some features wasn't ready) allowing me to develop trek graphs that would test features that weren't even implemented yet.   Design Verification Engineer Verification Guild/ “Anybody use these tools?”
  • In both the SystemC and RTL verification efforts, Breker's Trek product was able to help us find deep state functional bugs quickly and efficiently   Terry Hulett

    • Trek has a natural way of implementing a test environment with knowledge-driven approach of directed tests and the flexibility of incorporating randomness into the scenario generation and checking   Design Verification Engineer
    Verification Guild/ “Anybody use these tools?”
  • Constraint solving is really nice when it works. It's a declarative approach that lets you worry about the what, not the how. Trek uses an more imperative approach: you define a graph structure to be traversed. For trivial scenarios this is less elegant than a set of constraints; but as things become more complex you don't hit the performance cliff of constraint solving.   David Whipp, NVIDIA Corp.

  • With Breker, we can provide a higher level of verification efficiency with improved coverage closure in pre-silicon and post-silicon verification activities for our customers.   François Cerisier
    IC Verification Expert

  • Viewing the coverage capability of the graph was very effective in visualizing what had and had not been verified (helping answer the question ‘Are we done yet?’).   Design Verification Engineer

  • Trek is more effective on complex designs. It really helps get to deep corner cases that aren't easily hit.   Design Verification Engineer
    Verification Guild/ “Anybody use these tools?”
  • My first impression was to use Trek simply as a testcase creation engine but slowly I'm getting convinced it is useful as "checker" as well - especially the end-to-end checks.   Design Verification Engineer
    Verification Guild/ “Strategy for System-on-Chip Verification”
  • Breker System's Trek tool has been refreshing. A new look at how to do functional verification. As a verification engineer, we all look at outcomes to figure out our testplan. Breker takes that to a new level where we can create graphs based on outcomes and even more power comes when one can apply a static analysis to see if all outcomes can really be reached by what was created.   Verification Engineer
    DeepChip
  • The one that sticks out for me was Breker Trek. I've been keeping an eye on their development of the tool for a while, and saw a demo. I like that it translates from our feature-based verification planning to what looks like straightforward coding of graphs to randomly verify.   Design Verification Engineer

Company

Breker Verification Systems solves the challenge of functional verification for complex system-on-a-chip (SoC) designs. Our TrekSoC? tool is proven in production at leading semiconductor companies. It enables design managers and verification engineers to realize measurable productivity gains, speed coverage closure and easily reuse verification knowledge.

TrekSoC helps customers develop intuitive models to describe the verification space, and then use these models to automatically generate SoC tests including stimulus and expected results. Customers can begin testing much earlier - even before RTL is finished - and expand incrementally to get more complete coverage.

Breker has grown steadily, supporting diverse design groups at leading-edge SoC companies. Our dynamic team shares one vision - to drive the evolution of SoC verification technology - with a single-minded focus on our customers' success.

Breker is a venture-backed company headquartered in Silicon Valley.
