Users assemble a graphical model in VisualSim Architect with the pre-defined parameterized Technology IP blocks and run simulation by varying the parameters, architecture details, use cases and traffic. When the design has been optimized and validated, documentation is generated and the model is hosted in VisualSim Explorer for sharing via the Browser. VisualSim Cloud is used to construct models and run simulation via the Web Browser. Models are stored locally. There are some limitations with VisualSim Cloud, relative to the VisualSim Architect.
Pipeline sequence and operation, cache/memory hierarchy, bus topology, hardware-software partitioning and power consumption
Engineers architecting a product, work with a limited idea of expected performance, power consumption, measurement and quality of service. VisualSim Architect offers engineers the advantage of foreseeing risks in development of the product, from a technical and business standpoint. This eliminates the risk of product failure, prevent under performance, and slash the time-to-market by sorting out potential issues early in the product development stage.
